Why this should be read: The team may or may not be stranded, and until they know for sure, Jack is having a hard time waiting. So is Daniel. But somehow they wait better together than they would have alone. Lovely friendship fic, with lots of unspoken understanding and bonus smart!Jack.


Daniel sounded almost like his normal self as he said, "At least we got stranded someplace with computers. Hot and cold running water. Flush toilets."

"I would rather have been stranded someplace with lavatories and abacuses and real big spaceships." Jack paused for dramatic effect. "Abacuses? Abacii?"

Silence.

"Missed your cue, there, Daniel."

Daniel moved suddenly, like he was jolting himself out of reverie. "Abacus, abaci, masculine, Latin second declension. But the root abax is Semitic, so some people say the plural in English..."

His heart obviously wasn't in it. After another long pause, Daniel asked with a false lightness, "So anything else I know of? Big dipper, North Star?"

Jack wondered who was distracting who, here. And if it mattered.
