The Doctor has been in the sewers for a few days now. He'll continue to be down there until he's sorted out what's wrong, because... well, because it's the Doctor, and he's not good at giving up on a problem if he thinks he can sort it out. He is, at the moment, wandering down a tunnel lit only by some sort of phosphorescent fungus, sonic

He's starting to think he has at least one lead though, and he's rather relieved when he exits out of one of the side tunnels, and catches sight of the Doctor. "So have you had any luck yet?"
Best to see what The Brilliant One has discovered first, just to make sure it doesn't make his measley little lead look pathetic in comparison.

"Ah... that depends on your definition of luck. For being a Doctor, I'm actually not so good with actual... sick people... Still, the good news is, find the source of the poison, cut it off, everything should be fine. I think. Say, you didn't happen to run into a cat nun down here? Could use one of those..."
Sometimes he just keeps talking to hear himself talk. This may be one of those times.

"Well, I think I might have found something that could be the sou- did you say cat nun?"
One of these days Des is going to get used to the Doctor saying ridiculous things like that. Oh sure, Broadway vampires and dragons in Aztec temples are the norm for him, but cat nuns are completely off the beaten path.

She's not going to think about that.
"Marshall! Hello. I didn't expect..." Oh, and then there's the question. She presses her lips together for a second and nods. "I'm fine." She looks, really, anything but.

"Oh, well, yeah. I'm kinda... Unexpected, but, uh, in a happy way! Not like the Spanish Inquisition or anything." He chuckles a little nervously. "And not to call you a liar or anything, but you really don't seem fine, which is understandable given the week... Or month.. Or, well, some timeframe- I've really lost count, honestly, with everything's that been going on." A pause, followed by a wince. "Not helping. Um... If there's anything I can do..."
He trails off. Occasionally, he's rather useless in empotional situations- not like some people are, but rather in the whole bumbling, socially awkward, rambly way.

...Only in Torchwood is that a valid change of subject.

"Annie? What's wrong?"

Her tail keeps lashing irritably like a cat's, and she can't seem to stop it. That's annoying.

"Oh, stop grumbling and come here," she says, smiling a little. Hey, a little scritching is good for the soul.

She pauses a moment, and then sighs, hopping down to a bench nearby the tree with a short glide. And then she turns to give Becky a questioning look, complete with headtilt. What do you want?

But honestly, he just felt like making coffee. And seeing if anyone else wanted some. And he heard Tosh was back.
So he just slips into the control room, not at all surprised to find her there, and sets a cup of coffee down next to her.
At the moment, he's wearing the closest approximation to a suit he can manage, with his trousers modified into a sort of... skirtish thing. Not terribly well -- his skill with clothing extends mostly to simple mending -- but he's not precisely comfortable going around with the lower half of him naked, either. So it's a bit odd-looking, but the best he can do for himself at the moment.

And then she stops, noticing something a little off. Frowns down at Ianto's legs for a second, and then back up at his face. "The Rift?" she guesses, because that's her best guess here. She really hopes it's the Rift, because there are few other theories that make sense.

He smiles a bit. It's a good thing he has a sense of humour, he thinks, otherwise he might have gone insane by now.

Not that he swims or golfs, but it's nice to know those things are there.
He does, however, like to sleep at whichever place is closer and he just happens to be in the Main Gauche when he comes across Annie. In dragon form.
Not good.
Rusty glances at the clothes, and then glances up at her. "You okay?"
Dumb question, considering he's about 97% sure that she's angry, because of him. It doesn't hurt to check.

Annie glares at him for a moment, and then lets out a sound halfway between a growl and a hiss. No, she is not okay. Because her brother is an IDIOT.

"Yeah. So it's about me... still. Right. Look. I get bored, y'know? Bored's not good with me cause then I go try to use my powers and get dumb about it. And we need money, in case shit happens and stuff. Not like I can hold down you're regular kind 'o job so even if I was high and probably wouldn'ta been so 'sign me fuckin up' sober... it's not half-bad."
He takes out a cigarette and lights it before adding as if it'll somehow help, "They got this apartment complex for employees and it's got a pool, Annie. A big one."
