[Oh, it's the Doctor channel. Today the show is set in a simple downtown jail cell full of all sorts of nefarious types and the Doctor. Yep. He's currently yelling at an officer.]Oi! I was trying to save the city! How was I to know he kept his wallet in his coat, an EVIL coat might I add! You can't lock a man up for saving someone from an evil coat

[Ianto looks...less than pleased. He's disheveled and flushed, but not in a pleasant way. It's apparent from what can be seen behind him that he's in the Doctor's house.]

Jack is a little tied up right now, Doctor. I've been trying to get in touch with you for the past twenty minutes. Get out of there and help me.

[Have some frowning]

Yes, well, I'm very flattered, but I think you and Jack are more than enough for each other.

[Ianto's mouth thins, looking distinctly unimpressed.]

Get your mind out of the gutter. There's something wrong with him.

[What can one expect when dealing with Jack?]

What did he do now?

His whole personality had changed. I thought he was just internalizing things, but he's...cold. Even cruel. He doesn't care that Rose has gone. It's like he's turned into John bloody Hart.

[There's a bit of thinking before he nods]

Right. I'll be right there.

[Pause]

Whose John Hart?

[He lets out a huff, as if the name alone offends him]

Jack's former Time Agent partner. [There is quite a bit of disdain in that sentence.] Wouldn't think twice about selling his own mother for profit.

Oh, that sort. Don't worry we'll figure it out and get Jack back to Jack!

Thank you. [He slumps in relief. He isn't always impressed by the Doctor, and clearly sees some of his flaws, but he trusts the Doctor to succeed when he sets his mind to help. Straightening up again, he gathers himself and shoots a dubious look at the Doctor, wondering why he's still in jail.]

Now stop messing about and get over here as soon as you can. I'm keeping an eye on him but he has his tricks.

Cassie will be here with the bail money soon.

Did you take away his vortex manipulator?

[suitedforcoffee]

Of course I did! Do I look like an idiot?

...You're actually paying bail?

[daft_old_man]

I have lots of money in my pajama drawer. You don't think I'd just leave do you?

video; private

[suitedforcoffee]

Yes. Yes, I thought you'd just leave. [a pause] They took your screwdriver, didn't they?

[daft_old_man]

I get it back when I post bail.

[suitedforcoffee]

Ah.

[Don't say it Ianto, don't say it. He's agreed to help you, don't say it...]

You're a bit useless without it, aren't you?

[Damn.]

[It's a good thing he likes you Ianto]

I'll have you know I'm perfectly capable without it. Even rebooted the universe without it!

[Sort of]
