*Daniel looks up from the paper he's editing, which actually happens to be his own work, and not a student's. He sees Janet standing there and smiles.* Hey, come in.
Thanks. *smiles back and enters the office, closing the door behind her* I brought coffee. *she tries to be diffident, but fails miserably* Extra whipped cream.
*tries not to melt as Daniel's hand brushes against hers* Thanks. *takes a seat and sets her mug down on the desk* So, grading papers, or working on something on your own?
OOC: I am all about playing up the UST and stuff, if you are. Actually, I'm pretty much comfortable with about anything you are. Cool?
I'm not Jack O'Neill, remember? I don't find science boring. *she shakes her head and tries not to feel awkward* What have I been up to lately? Trying to cope, I guess. Also getting locked in the bathroom with a giant squid, having to pull a crazy psychic teenager off of a friend, and, well-- It's kind of a madhouse around here, you know?
Sometimes I forget. I'm so used to having just Sam around who likes science.
*He pauses to take a sip of the coffee*
Oh trust me, I know. Between grading papers and fighting off what I thought were Goa'uld...and then they turned out to actually just be students. That was rather embarrassing, actually...
*laughs softly* A foothold incursion at this school? I'd almost feel sorry for the Goa'uld. *sips coffee, but doesn't look away from Daniel* So... What brings you to teach here?
SGC's funding was finally cut too much and they had to "relieve me of my duties." So I came here to teach, because it was the only place that would actually hire me despite me unusual theories on Egyptian pyramids *smirks*
*had been kind of hoping for another reason, but tries not to show it* I can't believe they cut the funding that much. Don't they know how important you are to the program?
I was beginning to think there was another reason behind it. Unfortunately I have no way to find out. *He sighs* But at least one good thing has come of this. I get to see you again *He smiles sweetly*
*melts* When they kick you out, they tend to do it right. I'm sorry that they did that to you too. *smiles at him, obviously happy* But yes, I am glad to see you again. I'm sorry I avoided you for so long. *looks down uneasily* I just-- The sudden age difference is awkward.
*grins* It's all right. It is kind of awkward. But inside, you still seem like the same Janet that I remember. Just...in a different body. and a hot one at that
It is me, Daniel. I just-- *pauses* I don't know how, and I don't know why, and that's hard for me. I'm used to understanding something, or looking until I find the answers, and they can't be found. *notices his glance at her and shifts in her chair* *decides that teenage hormones are hell* Oh, I don't know, you look pretty damn hot yourself.
Well, we had...and have again...a similar problem with Jack. It was him the way we all remembered him, but he looked to be about 17. Perhaps this is the same thing? *He places a hand on hers in a comforting gesture*
I guess it's just a different view from this end of the age spectrum. *tries to control a faint shiver of pleasure at the touch, but fails miserably* I could see how he deals with it, I guess. From some of the things he's said, he didn't do so well at first, though. I don't want to bring up any unpleasant memories. *decides that she really needs to lace her fingers through Daniel's*

I was editing an article I'm hoping to publish in one of those boring science journals. *He pushes it aside.* How about you, what have you been up to?
