...so, there's a program on my wrist device that uses trace imprints from universal constants to determine whether two peoples' universes of origin match. So far, no one I've met has come through from mine.
One of them doesn't seem to understand that our histories are different - or possibly just that I have history here - and one of them understands a little too well and is treating the subject with his trademark tact and consideration.
I figure that strangling them both myself would at least cut out the unpleasant period of waiting for them to strangle each other.
How does one delicately explain to someone who's set one up as a primary authority that certain other members of one's team have perfectly legitimate reasons to detest one and that even if said member of one's team is baiting this particular someone, said someone should perhaps not be overeager to leap to one's defense?
It would have nothing to do with Owen, would it? I believe he is the member of your team that is most vocal about whatever issues he has with you.
And I talked to Ianto at the camping trip so I'm going to throw out a wild guess that he is the other one involved.
Am I close?
Unfortunately, I am not certain that you can explain it delicately. No matter how many times you try. I know you are talented at many things, but that would be doing the impossible.
I was afraid of that. Well, I suppose my only other options are to let them kill each other or strangle them both. Jury's still out on which of those is going to be most pleasant in the long run.

Um, how does that fit into you wanting to strangle the team?

I suppose you could strangle them a little bit.
I am not helping, am I?
How can I help, Jack?
Drinks? Talk? Words of wisdom? Providing dummies to act out your desire for strangulation? Yes/No?

In all seriousness, is everything alright?

You know. Hypothetically.
