Ianto wasn't sure whether he was grateful that Sulu was able to carry him or not. On one hand, he really couldn't walk without passing out anymore, so he supposed it was really for the best that Sulu was as strong as he was, but at the same time...it was rather embarrassing, to be carried through the hallways of the Enterprise, having people that Sulu at least vaguely knew staring at him. Unable to handle their gazes, Ianto turned his head, tucking it against Sulu's chest, so at least he wouldn't have to watch them staring at him.
When Sulu had woken him that morning, telling him that he'd had a conversation with Doctor McCoy the night before and that they were going in to see him, Ianto had been struck with both a feeling of relief, because they might finally get some answers here, and also a feeling of dread, because...what if they didn't. But no, he couldn't go down that road. Not sine he'd promised Sulu that he would try staying optimistic for him, try believing that everything would work out, that McCoy was an excellent doctor and that Sulu was taking him to capable hands, that this was the future and that they had to have something to figure out what was going wrong there, right? Ianto certainly hoped so. Although he couldn't help but wish that Jack had still been around when he woke up, so that he could at least give him a proper goodbye...just in case.
"I can only imagine the sorts of rumors they're going to spread about you now," Ianto said, trying to keep himself feeling lighthearted, though it was hard, considering how sick and tired he felt after not even being awake for all that long, considering what he was about to have to discuss and go through, considering that it was his very life that was at stake, there.
