[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

You sound like you could use some company.

[jackedthename]

[A pause.] I probably could.

[cpt_namesake]

Send me your coordinates, then. Maybe I can cheer you up.

[jackedthename]

[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.

[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]

[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]

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]

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

[jackedthename]

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

[cpt_namesake]

Where did you travel?

[jackedthename]

Oh, you know. Time and space.
