Random trivia on Hathor: Stargate SG-1 (S 1, Ep 14) is titled Hathor. Dr. Daniel Jackson refers to her as, "the Egyptian goddess of fertility, inebriety and music." O'Neal responds along the line of, "so the goddess of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll"
They're definately mates, if Jian has that much mental pull over him. Loving the story, and glad things are better between them. At least Emm has admitted to his brother why he's scared. I wonder if Ry will tell the Tiger?
