	I think my strengths are more library oriented. [He point out dryly, still moving and trying to get a lucky strike in throughout the conversation.] I suppose I just always assume you need, I don't know, powers or something to beat someone like you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not true. All you need is to stay alive long enough to have one lucky day. [ He moves with Ianto, genuinely distracted now. This is an important topic for him. Probably wouldn't be too difficult to find a careless opening. ] How do you think I've stuck around this long? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Ianto actually does notice how distracted he seems. It's one things he's noticed about Spike in the past, how he tends to get emotional about things. It's the first time he's realized he can use that sort of knowledge to his advantage in a fight and, so he does his best to keep the vampire talking as he watches him.]

You're giving luck all the credit for your survival?

	Not all... but saying luck has nothing to do with it is too arrogant even for me. [ And in figuring out his one true weakness — his arrogance — Ianto has a good, honest shot of taking him down... right about now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-09 12:58 pm UTC (link)
	[And he's going to take that opening, suddenly rushing in - okay, scampering, maybe, he hasn't quite graduated to badass rushing levels yet - while Spike is talking and doing his very best to once again hit him with the weight.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Had it not been Ianto, that blow may not have landed. It's all about the unexpected and although Spike has been goading him on all this time, he doesn't expect it. It lands neatly, making him stagger back with a grunt. Shit. Had that been a stake, he'd be a pile of dust right now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-09 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	[Ianto looks just as shocked as Spike by his success and is left standing there awkwardly, like he's not sure what just happened.] Did you let me do that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-10 11:16 am UTC (link)
	[ He makes an attempt to shake it off and escape with his dignity intact. It's not super successful. ] Of course I let you do that. What, you think I'd be caught off guard that easily? [ He was. He so was. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-10 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	No, I suppose not. [He looks like he can't decide if he believes you or not, Spike.] Shall I go again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-10 03:09 pm UTC (link)
	[ He wants to say no, that this is enough but on second thought they could both use this. No harm done in keeping it up a bit longer. ] Keep it up until you've beaten yourself tired. I won't break. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-10 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	I could use that. I haven't been sleeping well since. [In a way it's easier to admit this sort of thing to Spike than other people. Maybe because he feels like he knows where he stands with him, or that he knows he's more likely to get a neutral, honest response.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-10 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... that happens. [ A small confession. He'd never go as far as to call them friends but they do have some kind of understanding by now and damn if it's not nice to have someone around to be honest with. He's so damn tired of keeping up appearances and yet that's one of the few things he has left. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He just nods tightly and adjusts his grip on the weight. Jack has spent so much time trying to get him to talk about things and be alright with it all that it's refreshing to have the subject just accepted, acknowledged and left alone rather than being pushed to discuss it.] You dropped your guard when I was talking to you just now, but it seems like conversation isn't always the safest tactic for me to try out, is it?

[ The thing about being okay with your own mortality is that it's complete and utter bullshit. Death is a big deal and life even more so, you can't just kiss it better like a skinned knee. It's traumatizing and terrifying and it has to be allowed to be that rather than covered up in lies.

At least, that's what he believes. ]

Not great if it distracts you, but if you can keep your head in the game it's not bad. Especially if you piss your opponent off — nothing like working someone into a flustered lather.

	That would explain how things got out of control between you and Jack so quickly. [A bit of dry humor there. He has no idea if Spike works hard to be obnoxious or not, but either way he seems very successful at it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-11 12:24 pm UTC (link)
	Things got out of control between me and Jack because Jack can't play the game he got himself into. [ That's his story and he's sticking to it. Also, Ianto isn't wrong. Spike does work pretty hard at being obnoxious. Best way to get someone to make a fatal mistake. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-11 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	He does tend to do that. [He tries to duplicate his pervious success of attacking while Spike is talking.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-11 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	[ No hit this time. He's not quite that stupid. There are a couple of close calls though. ] How do you put up with that bozo? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-11 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	Oh please, don't tell me you haven't imagined what the sex is like. [Have you, Spike? Have you? Because he's going to make fun of Jack's not so secret secret forever.] Surely that must answer your question. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-11 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Oh no, don't start that again. [ Please don't make him puke all over himself, he hasn't done laundry in a while. Or ever. Although now he's thinking about it and there is one thing that comes to mind. ] You must have some really low expectations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-11 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps. Or maybe your imagination isn't very good. Surely he's hit you with those pheromones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-12 06:23 am UTC (link)
	I've also borrowed his body. Still don't see the big deal. [ No, he does see the big deal. Pheromones and all. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-12 12:17 pm UTC (link)
	[He does not seem to believe you and does not hide his smirk.] In reality I suppose we just work well together. We're a good team. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-12 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	If you're such a good team, why are you here with me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-13 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	Because if he was trying to teach me this we probably would have started having sex by now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
