Stubborn Sickie VS Annoyed Babysitter

... That, uh, wasn't about you, by the way.

Tell me about it. I'd complain about the treatment if it weren't for the fact that I'd probably have starved to death if Kaylee and Ziva didn't keep checking in on me. I can't hold anything down right now.
Oh good, you had me worried there. I'd hate to think I'd already made that bad an impression.

Good to know you've got folks looking after you. And if you start thinking about running out to do something, stop thinking it and tell me. I'd be glad to have something to do.
Of course not! You're some kind of angel by comparison to the guy I was talking about. Heck, you even throw up more politely than he did.

...Thanks, Brisco. I appreciate that, really. I'll admit it, it's nice having people looking out for me. Looks like Kang is going to want to skin me as much as Ziva now, though.
Ha! Sounds like a charming guy. And he's your partner?

Just do what they say and you might actually survive the ordeal.
Yeah, well, back in the 19th century he was, technically. "Rough around the edges" doesn't really begin to cover it, but in all honesty he's a great guy. Dependable, even when he's pretending he doesn't like you. A real softy on the inside, if you ask me.
...And he'd probably hit me for saying so, if he were here right now.

Sounds like a few people I know. Why don't you tell me about him? I haven't got a lot else to do besides lie here feeling like death and...well, use your imagination.

More about him, huh? Let's see... He's about six and a half feet tall and goes by the name "Lord Bowler," mostly because he wears a bowler. Doesn't act much like a Lord most of the time. He's got quite a collection of crystalware though, even if you wouldn't ever ever think he'd have it. Mighty impressive stuff, honestly. Makes enough money bounty hunting to pay for all of it too, seeing as he's so dang good at it. Better than me, probably. Just a little more... let's say "direct" in style than I usually am. Too bad he's not here, he'd be great at all this crab hunting business.

'Lord Bowler'? That's a fake name, right? That's...really interesting, ha. So you're both bounty hunters, then? You know we have a lot of stories about the bounty hunters of the 'Old West' in this time period; some good and some bad, but your profession is pretty popular with fiction writers.
Not that we don't still have bounty hunters today; they just don't ride on horses anymore. I should know, seeing as my team's been the bounty one or three times. Which can be pretty hairy when the people after you have alien technology to work with.
(OOC: XD Please have him ask, I want Daniel to talk about those incidents. They were all just so interesting! Esp. when the one bounty hunter told him he was only worth a good meal.)

Yeah it's fake. It's the name he used when I met him though and somehow... it just fits, y'know? Lord Bowler's about the best name I can think of for a guy who'd fight a bear with his... bare hands. [chuckles at his own weak joke]
C'mon, so what'd you do to get on the wrong side of the law huh? Is that friendly demeanor of yours just cover for the sinister criminal with in?

Oh, I'm a daaangerous criminal where I come from. Of course, that perspective depends on whether you're a human, or an evil alien overlord who's a little too comfortable being the enslaver of millions of humans. Our friendly neighborhood goa'uld didn't much like how much trouble my team was causing for them out there. As they don't exactly have galactical wanted posters, though, so we didn't find out until one of them...well, caught us. (Honestly, I still don't know what they wanted for me; the jerk said the bounty on my head was worth maybe a good meal until right before he left when he said something different, so I don't even know. That was kind of annoying, for some reason.)
To be fair, we only any of us got caught by actual bounty hunters twice. (That doesn't include the innumerable number of times the goa'uld caught us themselves.) First time would've been the last if Sam wasn't really good at appealing to the good in a ( ... )
