....Ianto's gone again.....I guess he went home...

How long does it tend to take before you know if someone's not coming back?

Captain...?

[He doesn't know exactly what's going on, but he can at least gather that somebody left and Jack's upset.]

Is there anything I can do?

[Voice]

[sometimes_boe]

....I wish there was, Shingo...I appreciate the offer, though. I'm afraid there's not a lot anyone can do at this point.

[Voice]

[keijisan]

...all right.

[He looks a little pained--everyone's going home...]

You're more than welcome to stay at our place for a while, if you just... need people around. You extended the same courtesy to Ankh, it would be more than fair.

[Voice]

[sometimes_boe]

I...just might...For once I think I might need it.

Thank you...

Check the Hall of the Missing. If they've left, they'll be in there. Or at least, their image will be in there.

[Don't mind him, he's just in the kitchen, doing dishes and making slightly more noise than is likely strictly necessary, willing his blush to die down as he waits for Ankh and Jack to finish... whatever they're doing.

[And speculating wasn't helping him not blush, dammit.]

[sometimes_boe]

[Jack walks into the kitchen, having left Ankh to his rooftop ventures, or whatever it was the other man wanted to do, and leaned against the wall of the kitchen.]

You know, your face is awfully red...

[keijisan]

I made tea.

[Shingo's voice is mild, and he throws Jack a calm but mostly unreadable look--he's still sort of processing how he feels about this himself.]

You're welcome to some, if you like.

action;

[sometimes_boe]

[Ignoring the suggestion, he shoots Shingo a pointed look.]

What's wrong?
