Leave the trauma forest behind and get a move on!

On to the coast! Ships! There's also a bridge! Hahah!

Which one are you gonna choose?


[ mission: once you've reached the port town discuss if you're taking the large manmade bridge or boarding a ship. it will be a two days' journey of anyway. ]

Isn't it ironic?

[don't you think.]

Just don't put me under a microscope.

[thats laurens job...oh yeah. well her smile kind of slid off at that. made herself sad.]

I'm not—

[don't. nobody likes someone who corrects their usage of "ironic," daniel. you don't even like those people and you're a linguist.]

I won't. Promise. Biology's not really my thing, anyway, I'm more likely to ask increasingly prying and specific questions about the history and culture of your people until it gets to the point where you try to strangle me in my sleep.

[personal profile] foodporn 2013-04-20 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's all supposed to be pretty hush hush. They would most likely kill you if they knew I told you.

[smiles at him. now go ahead and ask your questions]
armedarchaeologist: (smuggest bitchface)

[personal profile] armedarchaeologist 2013-04-20 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
You know what, I think that's what I'm supposed to tell people about the SGC.

[that's a joke. he's not supposed to tell anyone anything about the sgc. although someone's going to notice sooner or later if they keep having dogfights with ha'tak in international airspace.]

On the bright side, I'm pretty sure we're well out of the reach of at least my superiors here.

[personal profile] foodporn 2013-04-20 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and I mean, let's be real- it would take the whole army of you guys to make a dent in me so I'm not real concerned.

[is she joking. no not really. cocky much. yes. she's britney, bitch.]

On the bright side for you, me and Derek are the only fae I know about here, so your chances of being eaten or enslaved by them are pretty low too.

[she did just call derek a fae yes. forgive her beefy manlyman, werewolves are fae where she comes from. she just assumed.]
armedarchaeologist: (talking incredulous)

[personal profile] armedarchaeologist 2013-04-20 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Good thing I'm with the Air Force then.

[he's joking. live underground with those guys too long and they rub off on you.

no. stop. don't even.

You're a—

[eyebrows jump to hairline.]

Well that's. I thought you said he was a werewolf. Aside from. Huh, no, that makes sense. Way more sense than Disney, I mean, considering the folklore. Abductions, all that sort of... Huh.

Well it's good to hear I'm not in danger of slavery or... Being eaten. By you. Neither of you seem like enslaving types anyway, though to be completely honest I was a little worried Derek was planning to eat me even before you told me he was a werewolf.

[personal profile] foodporn 2013-04-20 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, I can't really speak for him, so you should probably watch your back.

[now she's just screwing with him]
armedarchaeologist: (talking 3)

[personal profile] armedarchaeologist 2013-04-20 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm sure, he's got a very—

[pauses in the midst of baring his teeth and drawing down his eyebrows to stare at derek's back way up ahead.

so he hasn't seen that many movies, but

On a totally unrelated note, how good is his hearing?

[awkward wave at derek.]

So-o, uh...

[don't steal my lunch money? no, talking to bo now.]

How, uh. How long have your people been on Earth? Or are you the only one?

[personal profile] foodporn 2013-04-20 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[you're unbelievable]

You're seriously still gonna try to ask questions after that?
armedarchaeologist: (smuggest bitchface)

[personal profile] armedarchaeologist 2013-04-20 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, believe me, I've been glared at by a lot of scary-looking people in my time, I've kind of developed an immunity.

[and a lack of fear of death.]

Unless this is one of those personal things like Ninurta, which... I can respect. I promise.

[personal profile] foodporn 2013-04-20 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's not really- I don't really care. About the whole fae thing. I mean I do, since I am, but all their politics, and the secrecy, and. The whole eating people thing. You could have all the state secrets for all I care, but I just don't want to talk about them.

[them being the fae, not the secrets. for both reasons that it reminds her of home and that they kind of make her sick sometimes.]
armedarchaeologist: (what face)

[personal profile] armedarchaeologist 2013-04-20 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, that wasn't a joke?

[he thought the eating people thing was, you know, colorful hyperbole.]

[brain catches up to mouth and he holds his hands up in surrender.]

Right. OK. I promise I'll restrain my ethnographic urges.

[personal profile] foodporn 2013-04-20 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
You mean you can actually be quiet about something?

[pats his shoulder. good man.]

It's for the best.
armedarchaeologist: (Default)

[personal profile] armedarchaeologist 2013-04-20 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, didn't this conversation start with you wondering why I wasn't talking?

[oh, that's. a little snippier than he meant to be.]

Sorry.

[personal profile] foodporn 2013-04-20 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[about something, not in general. defensive much. arches eyebrows at him like excuse you, yeah you better apologize.]

It's a different quiet. You were sad-quiet. Now you're you value your life-quiet.
armedarchaeologist: (downcast disappoint)

[personal profile] armedarchaeologist 2013-04-20 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah well I guess I'm a lot better at one of those than I am at the other.

[so what if it's a little bit of both. he and hel sat in awkward silence for a whole night, this is nothing. shoves his hands into his pockets.]

[probably he could bring up something else, but he really doesn't know what, his brain's too full of ninurta's trial and apparently new information is a no-go.]

[personal profile] foodporn 2013-04-20 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[presses lips together and watches him spiral back down into the depths of his sad deicideless despair. well she tried to cheer him up. gives herself a you tried star. they can be quiet for now. she'll just keep his nerdy quiet self company while they walk]
