Giving Ianto's shoulder a quick touch in a silent bit of communication, Jack moved away from where they were working and down towards Susan.

"Yes, Ma'am." Jack confirmed, stepping forward and holding out his hand towards her. "Captain Jack Harkness, at your service."

He just managed to stop his tongue before he could add on 'in more ways than one I hope' just because, given the manner of her dress, he had a feeling she might not appreciate his being too forward.
