“Huh?” He looked up, green eyes unfocused for just a moment before his brain kicked into gear and he sighed lightly, leaning forward and running hand down his face as he secretly wished he could sit here on his own, wallow in self pity for a while.

“No it’s just…” Jonas found himself pausing, not really having the heart to lie to her, “yeah.” He admitted, his voice softening as he offered her a small but soft smile, “just, important family day, was just…thinking about how they are you know?” If they missed him, if they wanted him back…and almost worse…what if they didn’t.

“Nothing important, what are you doing awake?”

She’s been watching him for a while now; every toss and turn from his bedroll echoes in the room of the hut they’re bunking in and she’s familiar enough with the struggle to sleep that she recognizes the restlessness for what it is. When he speaks, Sam sits herself to mirror his position and smiles sympathetically.

“The first big anniversary after losing family is always hard,” she says quietly, mindful of the colonel sleeping nearby. She can’t say she knows exactly what Jonas is feeling but she’s no stranger to loss and she knows how much the what-ifs suck. She notes his diversion and smiles again - amused by her teammate’s tactic - though the smile fades as she considers his question.

“I tried to sleep but something the Prime Minister said is rubbing me the wrong way,” she admits, losing herself in thought for a moment before bringing her focus back to Jonas. “He said he’d never seen the ‘gate active, right? But SG-9 said they’d seen goa’uld activity when they did the initial recon last week and it strikes me as odd that the minister wouldn’t know anything about that, considering how heavily armed the soldiers were who met us at the ‘gate.”

Jonas rolled his eyes, let out a small sigh before reaching out, wrapping an arm around Vala’s shoulder and pulling her closer a touch. “Deal has to work both ways.” He stated simply, almost serious before a smile broke through. “Then again, let’s just think positive thoughts. Team will show up soon and then we’ll be back through the gate and off home.”

“Everything will be fine.”

“Well then, you’re in luck! Because I do not snore!” Probably. Vala huffed out a breath, resigned to their apparently very-much-stranded fated, and leaned her head against his shoulder. She let out a throaty chuckle and a smile quirked at her lips. “Mmm yes, positive thoughts. And until they arrive, at least we have a rather homey cave. A few throw pillows and it would be quite comfortable!” she added dryly. But she did appreciate his good humor. It made it all a bit easier.

“How can you be so sure? It’s been hours...”
