Welcome back. ...I suppose, anyway.

[Smiling hesitantly over the SFC, tilting his head slightly.]

Ah... are you looking for someone...?

[teaboyisms]

Um. Thank you. I wasn't expecting to be back here to say the least.

Yes. I am, actually. A Captain Jack Harkness. Do you know if he's still here?

[keijisan]

Oh! He is, yes--he's staying in our spare bedroom, actually.

[His smile warms, slowly.]

...are you Ianto Jones, by any chance?

[teaboyisms]

Oh? I'm glad to hear that he wasn't all on his own this whole time.

And yes, that would be me.

.......three days...You were gone for three days.

Are you in the plaza?

[Yep, trying to hide his overwhelming relief]

[teaboyisms]

Only three? Makes sense - I was gone three days back home as well.

Yep. Same place as last time.

[sometimes_boe]

I'll be there in a moment.

[And he does show up, as promised, towel in-hand. Said towel finds itself around Ianto's shoulders before Jack's lips are on the younger man's in a desperate 'I thought you weren't coming back' kiss.]

[teaboyisms]

[ He's for a moment, not sure what he's happier to see - Jack or the towel. But the second Jack presses against him, he's returning the sentiment. He died. And now he's here again and jack is still here. He kisses the other man back, pulling away to breathe finally. ]

Hi.

You lose someone or what?

[teaboyisms]

It certainly seems that way...

[He almost feels sorry for the guy. Almost.]

This place is shitty like that, isn't it?

[A pause and a gesture upward.]

There's something up there messing with our heads, I think.

Agreed. I don't know why they felt the need to send me back in the first place, only to be brought here again a few short days later.
