[Jack is wandering on one of the edges of the city, getting steadily closer to the Wastes. When he sees the PCD's activated, he speaks in a crisp and business-like voice.]

The Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond have gone home. The Tenth is -- that shouldn't happen. Not here, he should -- ...Dammit. [A sigh.]

I knew there was a reason I never liked December all that much.

[Armand raises an eyebrow and smiles.]

Ah, so your the sort that likes to get in trouble.

[It's not long until Jack arrives, limping only slightly now that he's almost completely healed. He gives the other captain the smallest of smiles, pulling a bottle out of his pocket.]

Don't tell Ianto, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to take alcohol without asking.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Or maybe I make trouble.

[He gives Jack a brief smile back, and shrugs.]

I don't think he'll mind all that much.

[He glances around for something to sit on and plops down on a rock, leaving enough room for his companion to join him as he works at opening the bottle.]

Do you want to talk about it, or would you rather a distraction?

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

[He settles down next to Jack and makes himself comfortable.]

Distraction would be nice.

[After he opens the bottle, he realizes his mistake and smiles ruefully.] Damn, I forgot cups. You don't mind drinking from the bottle, do you?

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Definitely not, handsome. [That at least gets a little smile.]

[His own smile brightens to see one on James' face, and he offers him the bottle.] Have at it. You need it more than I.

[He takes it and takes a long swig, sighing.]

Have I told you about the Doctor, yet?

[offline]

[cpt-namesake.livejournal.com]

You've mentioned him before, but never any details. [He'll just scoot a little closer.]

[likesavantgarde]

When he comes back you can make sure he doesn't do it again. Although, that would be a bit kettle, black.

[ Sits next to him. ]

Hi. Sounded like you could use company.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

I will. [What does he care if it's kettle, black? :| The Doctor needs to not do stupid stuff like get killed.

He gives Ianto a tired grin.]

Or else you just didn't want to find me on a rooftop, huh.

[offline]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

He's an old friend. I used to travel with him, a long time ago.

[offline]

[cpt-namesake.livejournal.com]

Where did you travel?

[likesavantgarde]

Good.

Not particularly, no. I didn't really fancy the idea of climbing a roof after you. I prefer to keep both feet on the ground when possible, thank you.

[offline]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know. Time and space.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Oh, darling, I thought you liked it when I swept you off your feet.

[likesavantgarde]

As long as it's not on a roof, you can sweep me off my feet whenever you like.

[cpt-namesake.livejournal.com]

I honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not. [slight smile]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Noted. I'll keep that in mind.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

[There's a little laugh.] I was, for future reference.

[eternally17.livejournal.com]

I have a penchant for finding that sort, it seems. [That smile seems to say that he does not mind this.]

[offline]

[cpt-namesake.livejournal.com]

Okay. [He nods a bit, trying hard not to be a skeptic.] Explain how that works to me.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Well, we're not that hard to find.
