Prompt me with gen Teal'c prompts!

[fignewton]

I was very happy with the Jack drabbles, so let's go for another round, shall we?

Prompt me with gen Teal'c prompts! No promises of first come first served, and classic team will more likely get a response than S9-10, but I hope to do twelve all together.

It's so much fun to watch Teal'c deal with Tau'ri culture, that I've come up with a variety of prompts. I'm not greedy though. You can just pick the one that resonates with you


Teal'c, Rocky Horror Picture Show
or
Teal'c at the ballet
or
Teal'c, Wagner's The Ring Cycle, Brunhilda sings
or
Teal'c, Team, "So, Teal'c... You thought you'd need your staff weapon. Whatcha been watchin'?"
or
Teal'c, Halloween

Teal'c's expression remained stolid, but his eyebrow radiated disapproval.

"Don't you like ballet, Teal'c?" Cassie asked anxiously. "I'm performing after intermission."

"I am sure I will enjoy it," Teal'c assured her, his voice suddenly gentle.

When Cassie left to change, Janet whispered, "Now tell me how you really feel."

Teal'c admitted, "I see no purpose in watching children walk on their toes in costumes with poorer taste than..." He stopped.

Janet twinkled at him. "Yes, the costumes are gaudy and the dancing is lousy. But the children learn grace and confidence -- and joy."

Teal'c considered. "Yes. That is reason enough."

Oh, I love this, Teal'c softening for Cassie, and moving beyond his initial rejection when Janet shows him how to look at the custom from within the society!

This is so much how this happens in the real world. My stepfather came to America from Palestine (it was in Jordan then) as a student, and after he married my mother and it became impossible for him to move with us back to his village, he had many such moments where we had to teach him how we saw things before he could appreciate them or see them as acceptable.

Janet makes a good guide, and this piece in just a very few lines lets us see why she was the right choice to become Cassies mother.
