[Halo] This is not the tea break it was meant to be

[erudite_watcher]

Ten minutes. That was all he wanted, just ten minutes of quiet to drink his tea and perhaps read a chapter of a book without any fighting, yelling, complaining or weapon tossing going on around him. He had hoped his library might provide a safe haven, as few of the girls seemed to have any use of the space other then using it as temporary

In response to the 'technology will damn us all' Jack pipes up to the new arrival, "Couldn't agree with you more! The stuff completely overrated."

Incidentally, Jack looks pretty happy for a guy who has a bandaged up shoulder and a arm in a sling. He waves his free hand, "So, get the welcome speech yet?"

Giles does not comment on the irony of someone agreeing with him on technology via a piece of technology. He does not the wounded arm but is too polite to ask anything about it.

"I don't have the first idea where I am, let alone if I'm welcome here."

Jack does love himself some irony.

"Well, frankly I would like to know the answers to those questions myself," he gives an aborted shrug, remember your shoulder Jack! "Ah... Uh, Yeah. Place is called Tax-son something or other. Says so on the nifty tablet thingie."

"And hey, as long as you don't start talking crazy and try to kill me, I'm fine with ya. Name's Jack O'Neill by the way."

"So long as you don't have the insatiable urge to kill people and drink their blood we should be fine, then. I don't 'talk crazy' nor do I kill humans." Hardly ever, at least, but there were circumstances.

"Taxon," he repeats. At least the place has a name, that should make research easier.

"We'll be getting along fine then. Unless your eyes start glowing... then, not so much," he makes a so-so gesture with his hand.

"Yep, don't know who named it. But that was what I was told when I got beamed in. Daniel probably knows more about it than I do, you could ask him."

[erudite_watcher]

"Glowing eyes? No, my eyes are completely free of any glowing." Te fact that it is a concern of the other man, however, is a concern. "You've seen someone with glowing eyes?"

He almost laughed at the lack of answer. "Someone named it a name meaning 'naming things.' How ironic."

"More than a couple," Jack cants his head to the side, "Only had one of 'em here so far." He gestures with his free hand to his injured shoulder, "Bit of a mess but we got her contained before too much damage.'

Jack tilts his head back to think for a moment, "...huh."
