*goes to see his parents* *bad stuff goes down* *calls Jack*

Comments

[cjharkness]

*answers* Captain Jack's Love Shack. Tin roof, rusted.

[cjharkness]

*wraps an arm around Ianto's mum, looking... pensive and frowny*

[sexyteaboy]

Mum: *sighs* I suppose it's silly of me to ask, but..can your people help?

[cjharkness]

*eyebrow* My... people?

[sexyteaboy]

Mum: I'm not blind Jack.

[cjharkness]

No, of course not. *looks at her cautiously* Can I ask you to be more specific? Who are 'my people'?

[sexyteaboy]

Mum: Torchwood. You lot are awfully bad at keeping secrets. Ianto's terrible. Every lie he tells is written across his face.

[cjharkness]

Hunh. *is quiet for a long moment, then frowns* We can't. Any medical instruments we find are either far too risky, or meant for use with alien species. The only one we've sussed is for taking foreign objects out of the body.

[sexyteaboy]

Mum: I think everyone in Cardiff knows about you lot, you know. And...you. I knew you. I recognized you.

[cjharkness]

... Did you? *looks a bit skittish, because, let's face it, forgetting somebody when you're Jack is bound to suck because you've probably shagged them*

[sexyteaboy]

Mum: We've got a picture. Well, David's parents had a picture. Taken during the War. They kept it on their mantle for decades. You're...not the subject of the picture of course, but it's definitely you. And what's scarier is that...there's a person facing away from the camera that...well, it's definitely Ianto.

[cjharkness]

*comprehension* Oh! That picture. *briefly considers the 'my dad and I look astonishingly alike' line but decides against it*

[sexyteaboy]

Mum: *sighs and wrings her hands more* Ianto and his Da never got along. He's...sensitive and moody. And David was always very...blunt and a bit...corse.

[cjharkness]

*nods and strokes her hair* *is going to listen far more than talk in this case and is being sweet and nice*

[sexyteaboy]

Mum: Ianto...was happy to move out I think. Dylan was always much more at east with his Da. Ianto's so quiet. Then he got..that job in London and got even more quiet.

[cjharkness]

*softly* That job didn't end well. A weaker man wouldn't have survived as well as he has.
