Serious question: Is Daniel attracted to Vala?
I know all of *us* are, but I'm wondering if he's just annoyed. And not in that annoyed I-want-to-do-you way, just peeved.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Is Daniel attracted to Vala?
He's missing Jack.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I'm gonna buck the trend and say no, not terribly. I mean, he's got eyes, but I don't think he really wants to do her; I saw some describing his behavior toward her as looking like big brother and annoying little sister, and I think that's closer to what I see.
I think he could get there--they click together pretty well every now and then--but he's not there yet.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Is Daniel attracted to Vala?
Nope. Very with Katie here, although I'd add that they'd have to sell me pretty hard to buy that changing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the best she could get right now would be a pity fuck. And I'm not sure she'd be interested in that.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Well, only if you take them as a wacky screwball comedy couple. They do remind me of Cary Grant and the Katharine Hepburn characters in Bringing Up Baby, although Vala creates mayhem deliberately rather than unintentionally.

That was pretty much what she was asking for in his bedroom; "I'm bored, let's do it." And boy, was he unimpressed.
Cary Grant in BUB is both fascinated and appalled by Katharine Hepburn; Daniel seems to me to be just appalled.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
But it would be pretty!

Yeah, I'm with Katie. Daniel's traditionally been attracted to women he can protect. Although Sarah, pre-Osiris, doesn't really fit that mode. Well, nor Sha're, really. I guess I'm just thinking of Kira, and to a certain extent, Reese.
I still think that Vala's not hit whatever it is that Daniel requires for him to really be attracted to her: one of those things is that he find her trustworthy, and he so doesn't. I don't see much in the way of physical awareness by him, and the chemistry isn't hot, just funny.
I'd still read good smut, though. If someone had some. IJS.
But it would be pretty!
So. Totally. Pretty.

That's not how I read it. I think she wanted to be attractive to him in his bedroom. Via sympathy, if necessary. Not pity.
