The Teal'c Files
I do not believe it was O'Neill's intention for us to be here, but Daniel Jackson caught wind of their fishing plans, and since he had just come back to life. Again. Decided we should make this a 'team bonding' exercise. None of us had the heart to correct him. But I noticed the crestfallen expression on both my friends faces. I believe that they have both come to realise their mutual affection for each other. I once heard a saying on a television show, and now, sitting on the banks of O'Neill's pond and fishing with my friends, I am reminded of this saying. About bloody time.
However, myself and Daniel Jackson's presence on this fishing expedition may prove problematic. An intervention may be in order. In my research of the area around O'Neill's cabin I discovered that there is a Native American reserve in the area. It is my hope that I shall be able to convince Daniel Jackson to accompany me on a visit to this reserve so that he may explain the cultural significance (and having been privy to many of his lectures of cultural significance I am aware that we could take a half day for this journey to happen). It is my hope that in this time, O'Neill and Colonel Carter will talk about their feelings towards each other. I do not believe anything will happen, the regulations that forbid a relationship are still in place. However, much was left unsaid 4 years ago and more has occurred in that time. And yet they continue their intricate dance around each other, around their feelings.
When Colonel Carter announced her engagement to the unworthy Pete Shanahan, O'Neill said nothing, however I was witness to his breakdown, his heartbreak at her attempt to love someone else was quite clear. He was too honourable of a man to say anything, but by saying nothing he told me that he still loved Colonel Carter deeply, for he loved her enough to give her up.
I hope that whilst I subject myself to Daniel Jackson's speech, our two friends will figure things out, for these two Tauri' deserve happiness, for they have sacrificed much in the fight against the Goa'uld.
Hope you like it...hope it sounded like Teal'c too. I don't like writing him, he's too formal for me, so I hope it sounds like him.
I'm going to try and finished 'The Daniel Files' before work this afternoon.
