I was accustomed to the idea of things arriving from time to time. My treasure box, the Ori alter, and now this. A nondescript case that had something so dangerous and so precious that I could hardly believe it was here

Daniel did come home eventually, but he had one arm curled under the laptop and was using the other to type something on the keyboard. "William down?" he murmured, not looking up at Vala to see her response. He'd already forgotten his work on the sociopolitical culture of the island and had, in fact, forgotten almost everything except his classes and that was because Guy hounded him whenever he so much as thought about being even a few minutes late to a class.

He sat on the edge of the bed and put the laptop on his legs, glad for the ability to use two hands now.

I stood near him with my hands on my hips. The slinky satin moved against my skin as I moved.

"He's been asleep. I made sure to get him to bed because..."

I moved forward and straddled his knees and began to descend. I wasn't too concerned about sitting right on the laptop.

"...I think we should spend some time together."

Daniel snatched the laptop out from under her just in time. "What are you doing?" he snapped, making sure the thing didn't have any damage. "Back home you might have been able to break a laptop or my glasses," he added pointedly, "but here I only have a finite supply. Just one."

"Then perhaps you should set it aside for a change, Daniel. Honestly, you'd think you were dating it instead of me," I told him.
