*Rina is in a sleeping car, standing in front of a full length mirror, staring at herself. She's got a plain button down on with her tan school skirt, the costume she had on earlier lying on a bed near by.

After her talk with Walter she's feeling pretty crappy about herself, not really noticing that she's standing in a slightly public place with

Rolled a dice. Came up with Daniel

[stuckonwrist]

There was a chill mist passing through the sleeping car at that moment. Though the sight made Daniel stumble and flash into the visible spectrum.

Seeing Big Chill fall over and hit the ground in an epic faceplant would be jarring enough. "Ow," hissed the alien-slash-archeologist. "Sorry, didn't notice you here till now."

fft. Whatever works.

[heartofahime]

That got a pretty good jump out of Rina, though to her credit she didn't shriek or yelp. Turning, she pulled her shirt together, staring down at the creature.

"Wh-... i... it's okay..."

Could be Ed XD

[stuckonwrist]

Big Chill got up to his feet as dignified as possible. "Pardon me," he said, averting his gaze. "My apologies for walking in on you miss."

Ed seeing Rina half naked would be funny as hell. xD But Daniel works too.

[heartofahime]

"It's... it's okay..." Rina repeated numbly, moving to button her shirt up. "Shoulda been paying more attention..."

XD /plots to get Ed in the Bath Car

[stuckonwrist]

Big Chill nodded -- and in a flash of green changed back to Daniel. "Sorry," he said. "I usually get around when intangible or at super speeds. But at this time of night, it's kinda weird."

omg do eet.

[heartofahime]

Rina blinked a couple of times, the statement prompting her to look out the window next to the beds.

"Is it really night... or is that just another illusion?"

I will! /plots to do it once out of the shower

[stuckonwrist]

"Feels like it," said Daniel, rubbing his eyes and feeling the usual sensation of evening strain coming upon him. "At least that's what my body's been telling me for the last few hours though. I'm in for another all-nighter in the library car."

Epic win.

[heartofahime]

Rina attempted to respond, but it came out as a yawn instead.

"... I guess it is. I couldn't tell. My internal clock is completely off. I haven't slept right in days..."

Fighting off another yawn, she goes to the bed she picked out, hanging up the skirted military uniform she'd gotten from the costume car.

"Why are you pulling all nighters in a library?"

XD

[stuckonwrist]

"Literature, ancient scripts, the whole nine yards," replied Daniel. "The more I find, the more I discover there's even more in the library. It's my job as a archeologist and linguist."

He grinned, a semi-amused expression. "And it keeps me from going NUTS being stuck here."

[heartofahime]

"Oh..." Rina mumbled, rubbing at her eyes again. She was beginning to look pretty horrible, but the more she stared at the bed the more she wondered if she was going to be able to sleep.

Shaking her head to clear it, she looked up at Daniel, smiling tiredly.

"Sorry..."

[stuckonwrist]

"You look tired," said Daniel. "Do you need a sleep aid? I can get one from the medical car."

[heartofahime]

"Um..." Rina hesitated. Her nightmares were bad enough - not being able to wake up from them was a terrifying thought.

"N-no... I'll be fine..."

[stuckonwrist]

"All right," said Daniel. He knew that haunted look; he had seen it before on Jack, Sam, Teal'c, Cam, Vala, everyone at least once. Even in his own reflection when he lost Sha're.

"You know, I'm a good listener if you want to talk," he offered. "Not like I have anything to do right now."

[heartofahime]

Rina sighed. It was hard not to be obvious when one felt like the entire world was falling down around them.

Sitting on her bed, she rubbed at her eyes again, trying to fight the tears that were threatening again.

"I-I can't sleep... not well, anyway... this one moment just keeps playing over and over again..."

[stuckonwrist]

Daniel nodded, sitting down on a chair and sighing. "I'm sorry for your loss," he said finally, realizing what kind of pain it was. "I lost my wife too. Years ago."

[heartofahime]

"My brother..." Rina said quietly, a tear finally escaping. She brushed it away quickly.

"It was gonna happen... one way or another... but I did something horrible after..."
