Introduction to Archaeology, 5th Period

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel's attention is focused on his laptop as he waits for his students.

"Okay, hopefully you're all set to present today," he said. "And after that, I hope you've all remembered the gifts Pippi so thoughtfully gave you last lesson, because I get to be the adult supervision."

Daniel's pleased with this. Normally he's the one who has to be supervised.

Blair nodded. "Although I don't know everyone on the floor because I'm a freshman. Plus I try to stay away from the sex and naked stuff. It gets me all flustered and I sort blush and once I fell down."

Daniel mentally *flailed*. And would quite possibly had physically *flailed* if that wouldn't be, y'know, unteacherlike and stuff.

"Oh," was all he managed to say, his voice cracking slightly.

"Do you know someone on that floor besides Sam and Charlie?"

"I know some of them, yes. Jack O'Neill when he's actually around, Cameron Mitchell, Vala Mal Doran. Elizabeth Weir and Janet Fraiser," Daniel replied, his voice managing to sound vaguely normal.

Blair nodded. "Oh yeah, I've seen Vala and Janet around there. Elizabeth too, although I don't talk to any of them much. They're a tight group." Blair winked and grinned. "You know what I mean, man?"

"I think Cam's into drugs. Steroids maybe." He winced a little and decided that was too far. "Well, probably not, he just has some anger problems."

Daniel's mind really was going places it shouldn't. Places his mind shouldn't go even when he was at home by himself.

"Cam's a good kid," he said, completely skipping over the subject of the girls.

"Yeah, that's what people keep telling me. All I know is he's bigger than me and he's got some anger issues."

Re: Journal presentations

"I'm sure he'll work them out," Daniel said, slightly concerned. This was good. He was concentrating on something that was not... well, y'know. "But if he does cause you some trouble, talk to someone, okay?"

Re: Journal presentations

"It's not a problem. I talked to Angel who's a vampire. And Pip, who's a mercenary or something." Blair's eyes got wide. "Not that I'm going to have him killed or anything! They're just teaching me self defense!"

"Weren't we talking about girls or something?"

Re: Journal presentations

"Self defense is always a good skill to have," Daniel nodded, remembering way back to the beginnings of the SGC and his own self defense lessons.

"Um..."

"I'm big on the peace thing, but sometimes..." Blair shuddered a little. "Sometimes a guy my size needs more than just his mouth to get him out of trouble."

Re: Journal presentations

Daniel nodded. "I understand you completely," he said. "I've found a number of times in the past where words haven't been enough."

Re: Journal presentations

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I never really imagined that would happen. I mean, peaceful resistance should be enough. And I guess it would be in this case too..if I just wanted to get beat to a pulp."

Re: Journal presentations

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

This was a topic of conversation Daniel was much happier with than the previous. Yay.

"Whilst peaceful resistance is good in theory, I'm afraid it's not so good in the real world," Daniel said sympathetically.

Re: Journal presentations

"Did Ghandi promote peaceful resistance? And Martin Luther King?"

Re: Journal presentations

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Well, yes, but in the grand scheme of things, it's still not something we can rely on."

Of course, Daniel's grand scheme of things now included two galaxies and aliens. So his grand scheme was probably different to just about everyone else's.

Blair nodded sadly. "Although if everyone tried peace, then it would work."

He grinned and bounced. "Watch out, I might start singing Kumbaya!"

Re: Journal presentations

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"But then it wouldn't be peaceful resistance any more," Daniel pointed out.

Daniel suddenly had a very bad thought of the System Lords all sitting in a circle and singing Kumbaya.

It was disturbing, to say the least.

"Do you ever think we can advance to being totally peaceful?"
