5 things Vala has taught Sam but Sam will never admit to.
1) The Lip Thing. The way she could casually pull her bottom lip through her teeth, ending with just the tiniest flick of tongue, making the whole thing seem so unconscious. Sam tried it on Jack at a nice, airy street café in D.C.
She never did get her cappuccino.
2) Piracy has its place.
And it can be damn fun.
3) Vala found in two weeks what Sam had overlooked for ten years. But Sam's self-restraint might not have survived all those years with knowledge of an easily accessible peep-hole in the men's showers.
It really was kind of Vala to share the discovery with her new female teammate, Sam thinks. She wants Vala to feel included. That's the feeble excuse she clings to as she kneels next to Vala in a dusty crawlspace. And really, she doesn't want to ruin Vala's fun by telling Daniel.
She can't quite look any of the boys in the eye for a least a week.
4) Apparently there is a certain amount of brute force Goa'uld crystal technology can take. She always waits until Daniel's back is turned before shoving the crystal home and tries not to think how many times this could have served her in the past.
But she'll be damned if she ever kicks a consol to get it working.
5) Sam herself is not immune to The Lip Thing.
Vala doesn't stop smirking for a week.
