Carter, I swear I can explain.

*amused, but hiding it* So, the buzz around the jell-o is that we're getting married, sir.

*jaw drops open and he just stares at her*

*bites back a grin and instead plasters on one of her patented Carter "looks"*

*somehow manages to find his brain through all the "oh shit!" going on*

So the rumor mill found out about what Daniel said huh?

Yeah, apparently. Though, what I got from Vala was that you started it. *pause* Sir.

I didn't, I swear I was just making fun of Daniel and he said it and then he told Vala and apparently either Vala's been talking or Daniel has and... sorry?

*smiles* I know.

*awkwardly rubs at the back of his neck*

I didn't mean for it to... I guess being in Washington for so long made me forget how the rumor mill works.

It's okay, sir. There's no harm done.

It's not something that people should be saying.

No, but that's the nature of rumors. Anyone who knows me, sir, knows it isn't true.

Yeah. Doesn't mean I like people talking about you like that.

I know and I appreciate that, sir.

Yeah. So got another assignment yet?

Not yet. I'm hoping I can land back at the SGC.

Back in SG-1? I'm sure Mitchell wants you back. I know Daniel does.

That would be ideal.

You should talk to Landry, I'm sure he'll take you back in a heartbeat.

*nods* I will, sir.

You know, I never said welcome back. So welcome back Carter.

Thank you, sir. *smiles*

*smiles* You're welcome, Carter.
