Sam rested with her head against the cool transparant wall of the bridge, watching the optical effect of hyperspace with unfocused eyes. Even at the speeds the Asgard ships traveled, it was still going to take a few hours to return to Earth.

For the first little while, Sam had tried to quiz Thor on some of the science questions she had about Asgard technology, but Thor's explanations were a bit beyond her, and after the forth failed attempt to explain, exactly, why crystal technology worked--and continued to work, for thousands upon thousands of years--they'd lapsed into silence.

Sam blinked. It really wasn't fair. The first chance she'd had to really learn, and...nothing.

It was always the same with aliens--either they were comparatively behind in terms of technology, or they were way ahead, almost to the point of absurdity. Just look at the Tollan.

"I don't even like cats that much," Sam muttered.

"Major Carter?" Thor said.

Sam raised her head from the window. "Oh. I was just thinking about my cat."

"I was unaware that you kept an animal," Thor said.

"I don't. Not anymore. I gave him to Narrim."

"I see."

Sam wasn't sure how he could. "I just meant that I'm not sure why I did that. I mean, I only got a cat because--"

She was lonely, and in Washington, cut off from the one thing she really wanted.

She didn't say that.

"Perhaps you felt that Narrim would benefit more from the animal's companionship."

Sam stared at him. Thor blinked, slowly.

Sam grinned. "Yeah."

She thought that maybe--about some things--they understood each other perfectly.

OMG.
this is great and completely not what I thought you'd write.

Nice moment with Thor and Sam. I love it.

sharon who also wants to know why the crystal technology keeps working.

I suspect there's an energizer bunny involved.

It's not at all what I thought I'd write, either. But it's certainly more interesting!

Glad you liked it. *grins happily*

I suspect there's an energizer bunny involved.

Well...the aliens did take him away in one of the commercials. It's definitely possible.

Sam/Thor OTP! *g*

Thor is sneakily perceptive, sometimes. Which, you know, is probably a good thing for a Supreme Commander. And poor Sam - possibly the most frustrating thing ever for her, not being able to understand something. Very sweet.

I think TBTP really could have used that frustrating technological gap a little more, sometimes. Oh, well. Allowances must be made so we get happy endings.

It's so supremely obvious Thor is in love with Sam. :-D
