What: Awkward morning
Where: Their cabin
When: Day One
Warnings: unlikely
Status: closed/in progress

Spending years exploring other planets meant that Sam typically went from sleep to awake in an instant. She wasn't one of those people who was groggy and took a while to wake up, having been trained to be on alert in the field. So when she woke up, she was immediately aware of two things. One, this wasn't her bedroom, and two, the body next to her was not Jack O'Neill.

She immediately jumped out of the bed, looking around and hoping to spot her sidearm. No such luck. Only then did she get a good look at her companion. She was in bed with Martouf. Was this one of those alternate universe things? Did she somehow swap places with another Sam? One that was in a relationship with him? This could definitely get awkward fast.

"Martouf?" she said softly. "Wake up."

Martouf was used to sleeping with one eye open. They found themselves under attack so often that it was deadly to do otherwise. Still, he missed the point where he'd been moved from his bed to another until he woke up when a woman spoke his name.

He blinked, and turned to look at her, nearly jumping out of the bed in surprise when he saw Sam.

"What - what is this?"

He was quite certain he wouldn't have forgotten going to bed with her last night.

The fact that he seemed as confused by their current situation as she was Sam was going to take as a good sign. It probably meant this was some kind of dome thing and not her in another universe. That would make things slightly less awkward. She hoped.

"I'm not sure," she said. "Presumably the dome has sent us somewhere. I'm not sure where."

Now that she at least confirmed that he didn't think they were in a relationship, she decided to poke around the room and see if she could find any useful information.

	He definitely didn't think he was in a relationship with her, as much as he would have liked to be. He could take rejection, and had accepted that they would always just be friends. "I feel movement," he said. "We're on some sort of vessel." He couldn't see outside well, so he wasn't sure what sort, but he could contribute that to the question. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A quick glance out the window answered the rest of that question. "It's a ship," Sam said. "A cruise ship, I think. On the water." She had no idea if any of the planets the Tokra spent time on had oceans or boats, so she didn't know if he'd get the reference.

She found the itinerary on the desk. "An Alaskan cruise. That's up north. Colder weather. Glaciers. Things like that."

He knew what oceans and boats were, but the concept that was hardest for him to grasp was why. Why would everyone take a boat somewhere? It had been a very long time since he had even known the concept of a vacation. If he ever had.

"Why are we on this - cruise? Who has put us here? What are we supposed to be doing?"

He was very cautious and more than a little suspicious.

"It's a vacation," Sam said with a smile. She supposed such things were not a concept among the Tok'ra. "We're supposed to have fun. The ship has a whole bunch of food and activities and then we'll stop in different towns that we can explore."

Sam could understand why he was suspicious. To be honest, she was wondering if there was a catch. It wouldn't surprise her if there was. "I need to make sure that Jack and Six are okay," she said. She knew that Jack would be fine, but if her daughter ended up sharing a room with someone random, that could end poorly.
