Daniel nods thoughtfully. "OK. Eris...my wife was a gift. The elders of her tribe gave her to me because they thought I was a God. I played along because I was worried about what they might do to her if they thought she'd displeased me. I didn't exactly wine and dine her. I don't know how to wine and dine. My ex, Sarah, she used to say that I was about as romantic as the dead bodies we dug up." Daniel grins sheepishly. "And that was one of the nicer ways she expressed it. I was always driven by my work...always, ever since my parents' deaths, all I could think about was learning more, being smarter than the others. I didn't...understand romance. I didn't want to. Even when I was married...it wasn't an easy life on Abydos, there was so much work to be done...there wasn't a whole lot of time for the hearts and flowers thing, y'know? So...the point of this, I guess, is that you're not alone in the not having to think about it thing. I have absolutely no idea how to go about this, and to be completely honest, it scares me like very few things have ever scared me in my life...but I think it's worth trying."
