Comments: A friend of Daniel’s is leaving the SGC and gives Jack & Daniel a little gift.

Roslyn and Calvorn walked slowly around the outskirts of the settlement, almost mirroring the path that Daniel and Jack had followed earlier. As the stars came out Roslyn found herself staring up at the starry sky.
“Wow.” She said quietly.
Oshra’s resonant chuckle filled the night air, “That was eloquent.”
She smirked at the Tok’ra next to her and went back to her stargazing, “It just hit me that we’re really on another world. The stars are different and I don’t recognize any constellations.”
The situated themselves on a sand dune and Oshra spent a long while pointing out things that would be familiar to her, and he found the blinking speck that was Earth’s sun. They sat quietly for a long time just enjoying the view and the companionship.
“Oshra, may I ask you something?”
He gently took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, “Anything at all, Roslyn.”
“I know Calvorn has never been married, but do you have a mate?”
He smiled, “Yes. Her name is Mianash.”
“Do you see her often?”
A quick flash of pain crossed his face and she suddenly wondered if she had offended him. He bowed his head and in the next moment she found herself speaking with Calvorn. She could see by the light of Fratari’s twin moons tears glistening in his eyes.
“I’m sorry Roslyn, it is still not easy for Oshra to speak of what happened five years ago.”
She thought for a moment, “That is when you blended, right?”
“Yes. Mianash and her host Livvan along with Oshra and his former host Bragan were in a small transport vessel when it was shot down by the Gou’ald. There was a terrible fire in the vessel and they were trapped. Both Livvan and Bragan sustained horrific injuries. Bragan was too injured for Oshra to heal and he succumbed to his injuries. That was when I became host to Oshra. Livvan was also severely injured but survived. However Mianash was unable to repair all of the damage and Livvan has very limited physical mobility and has lost her sight. They are living in a safe colony being cared for by kindly people that Oshra and Mianash had befriended long ago. Livvan was devastated by the loss of Bragan and as time has gone on, she has almost lost the will to live. Much effort has been put into finding a suitable host for Mianash but we have not been successful.”
Roslyn didn’t realize she had tears streaming down her cheeks until Calvorn wiped one away gently. Impulsively she embraced the man next to her and whispered in his ear, “I’m so sorry, Oshra.”
When she had first embraced him, the Tok’ra was stiff but soon allowed himself to be comforted, and even went so far as to embrace her back.
When they finally separated, Oshra stroked her hair, “You remind me a lot of Mianash. You both have beautiful spirits. The four of us were together a long time and the grief is still fresh even after five years. I did not wish to burden you with it.”
“It’s not a burden.” She said gently and reached up to stroke his cheek.
Calvorn came forward and smiled, “He’s right you know. In sharing his memories of Mianash I can see how similar the two of you are. I guess that is just another reason we both are so affected by you, Roslyn.” Her name came out just as his lips brushed hers. It was chaste, as if asking to be invited in. And Roslyn did something she had only done twice before in her life, she gave into the passion of the moment. She allowed herself to stop thinking and to just feel. And she knew in that instant that this Tok’ra was the person she wanted to spend the rest of her days with.
---------------
The next morning found everyone up early, the goal was to journey to ptegu before the heat of the midday was upon them.
Roslyn went looking for Jack and Daniel. She found Jack hanging back in the doorway to one of the tents leaning on one of the poles watching something. She followed his gaze to see what he was studying, and seeing it she smiled. Daniel was sitting on the ground with a little girl perched on his lap. She had apparently brought him some sort of sticky bread to share with him. He was making silly faces and exaggerations as he alternated between eating bites himself and feeding her bites.
Roslyn caught Jack’s unguarded tender expression and if she had suspicions of their relationship before, the raw emotion in Jack’s face solidified them. And she realized that they weren’t just lovers, they loved each other. Air Force be damned, Roslyn was glad for her two friends.
Roslyn purposely dropped her pack to make some noise so she wouldn’t embarrass Jack. It gave him the moment he needed to put back on the mask of the Colonel. Seeing Roslyn he teased, “So where’s your other half this morning?”
He had managed to say the one thing that would make her blush and she did so spectacularly much to Jack’s amusement, “Oh, did I strike a nerve Miss Sanfield?”
“No.” She tried to be adamant but it really didn’t work.
Daniel approached them and Roslyn pleaded, “Daniel, he’s picking on me.”
“And that differs from a normal day how exactly?” Daniel teased. He looked around and asked Roslyn, “So where’s Calvorn?”
Roslyn felt the heat returning to her cheeks and she pouted, “Do you two practice this tag-team comedy routine a lot?”
