Why This Must Be Read: This fic sparkles with the subtler kind of humor, with Teyla and Teal'c providing amused commentary as Bra'tac teaches Ronon a thing or two about sly old codgers and their tricks. Teyla and Teal'c friendship is always a treasure, and so is Bra'tac awesomeness. Put it all together, and this fic is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
Master Bra'tac swept Ronon's legs again and rapped him on the skull with his staff weapon. Dazed, Ronon remained on the floor and Master Bra'tac knelt beside him, taking him firmly by the heavy locks of hair and giving his head a little shake.
"You must learn how to lose, boy. You must learn to submit to the greater strength, to learn from it. You must learn to wait. There is no shame in failing against an opponent, if you live to fight again, if you can use that failure to know your enemy."
"It is good advice," Teal'c murmured to her. His face was placid, but she could see a warmth in his eyes. "It is advice Master Bra'tac himself would do well to take."
Thinking of the stories she had heard of Bra'tac, and of Teal'c, from General O'Neill and Colonel Carter, Teyla felt that Bra'tac and Ronon were not the only ones who could benefit from such wisdom, but she held her peace, and only smiled.
