Sedge ficlet
I just wrote this as comment fic for celtic_sky who wanted "Ronon with a dog" and I thought I'd post it here too.
Characters: Ronon, Elizabeth, Sedge
Genfic, Kiddie friendly, fluffy
"Come on in, Ronon. It's small, but it's better than sleeping at the SGC."
Elizabeth gestured for Ronon to enter the small apartment she now kept for the short periods of time she returned to Earth. The poor guy had been questioned all day by Woolsey and the other officials, but he'd never been phased once. He just sat back and answered all their petty questions with one and two word responses and an air of bored disdain. "They were really stupid questions," he'd told her on the drive home, and she'd had to admit he was completely right.
As Ronon stepped into the apartment though he froze, sniffing the air slightly.
"What's wrong, Ronon?" Elizabeth raised an eyebrow to his back, looking slightly puzzled, as the big guy raised a hand in a gesture for silence. "Something's in here."
That was when Sedge came bounding in. The medium-sized mutt was barking with excitement. "Hey girl. Hey Sedge," she called, more than happy to see her pet. Simon must have dropped her around earlier as a surprise.
Ronon looked puzzled.
"It's okay, Ronon. This is a dog. Her name is Sedge."
"Good eating?" he asked.
"Noooo, this is my pet. You never had pets on Satedan?"
Ronon just shook his head, watching the dog as she jumped up on her owner, tail wagging madly.
"She won't hurt you Ronon. Sedge, this is Ronon." She turned the dog around and pointed to the man.
"She can understand you?"
"Well no, not exactly."
"Then why are you introducing us?"
"Well, she's my pet. Why don't you give her a pat and maybe you'll see what I mean."
Ronon looked doubtful, but he bent down to the dog anyway, patting her on the head. The dog happily licked at his face, jumping up on him and Ronon smiled. Soon the two of them were wresting on the floor and it was hard to tell which growl came from Ronon and which from Sedge, though the laughter was definitely Ronon.
With a small shake of her head and a large grin, Elizabeth left the two of them to play as she wandered into the kitchen to make some tea.
