Day 332 - closed to Ton
[ It was a morning like any other. A morning just like yesterday and the day before that, of warmth and curling up against Ton's back, arm loosely draped over his waist. An arm that's a little heavier today than it was the morning before — there's still a ring on her finger.

She smiles happily in her half-sleep, burrowing her nose into his spine. A sneaky tactic to get him to wake up, for sure. If this doesn't work she might just toss Gadget on him. ]

[ Video, closed to Jack ]

Hey, Jack! I have a favor to ask you. Well, two, actually.

	Absolutely, already did :-) foreverjack 2015-07-14 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	[He sighs dramatically, and smiles.] It would be my honour. ... So who will you get to give you away instead? [He can't very well do both, can he?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess I'll give myself away. That sounds oddly appropriate, now that I think about it. After all, it's no one's decision but my own how I live my life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think that's an excellent choice. [Even if he's still a little wistful about not still being her actual brother any more.] So, you'll write your own vows? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It's okay, she can adopt him later. ] I guess we are. Do you have any suggestions? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-15 02:07 pm UTC (link)
	[He would actually really, really like that.] Make them from the heart and person to you. And only things you'll actually stick to. No point in promising something you can't see through. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Then that's what she'll do. Once she's done with the marriage thing, of course. ] I'll remember that. [ A beat. ] Kind of sounds like you've already thought about this a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-16 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	[He quirks a grin.] Yesterday's marriage wasn't my first, you know. I've had a lot of time to think about these things. [And yes, he might have been thinking about it a whole more today, too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2015-07-16 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't know you'd been married before! Goodness Jack, you can't just keep these things secret from people. Especially when people means me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-17 07:10 am UTC (link)
	[Chuckling] It's not exactly a secret. I'm a hundred and seventy years old. Of course I've been married before! [A slightly coy look.] I don't tend to go round advertising it, though. [And not just because it's bad for his image.] I... don't have a great track record with it, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She wrinkles her nose a little. ] Relationships are hard. They take a lot more work than some people are willing to put in, I think. [ Not that this is a jab towards him, of course. Judging from what she's gleaned off Ianto, they're doing fine. ] I guess you learn from your mistakes. The more mistakes you make, the more you learn... I hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-20 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	[He gives a soft snort of laughter.] By that reckoning, I should be an expert at it by now! [But he looks a lot more relaxed.] Thank you. I think I needed that. Yesterday was... hard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2015-07-20 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	I bet... how's Kitty? And Ianto, for that matter. [ She kind of wants to worry more about Ianto than Kitty but some of those good feels from yesterday are still there. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-20 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	[He makes a face.] Not so good. Kitty, I mean. I'm afraid this is going to hit her hard. Ianto's okay, though. Just weirded out by yesterday! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2015-07-21 11:41 am UTC (link)
	Did he make through it okay? I didn't really get a chance to talk to him yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-21 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	Uh. Sort of? [He makes a sort of rueful face.] ...Apparently he was engaged to Spike. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2015-07-22 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	What, seriously? [ Oh my god. ] Me and Kitty were joking about that yesterday! Not about Ianto but... someone getting stuck with Spike. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-22 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Seriously. [Yes. Oh my god is right.] And by the sound of it, he certainly didn't think of it as being 'stuck with' spike - at least at the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2015-07-23 11:59 am UTC (link)
	Oh wow... are you okay? Is he okay? [ No way that didn't cause some serious psychological trauma. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-08-03 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	I... yeah. I think so. I mean, it would be a lot easier if we had retcon here, but... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2015-08-04 08:12 am UTC (link)
	Retcon? [ What. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-08-04 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	A useful little drug we had back home to help people forget things they didn't want to remember. [Well, that's the socially acceptable way of putting it, anyway.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Oh boy does that make her frown a whole lot more than a girl who routinely drugs people with homeopathic mood stabilizers should ever be allowed to frown. ] That's awful! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-08-04 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	[He gives her a wry look.] Not nearly as awful as trying to deal with traumatised people running amok all over Cardiff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2015-08-04 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	So instead of dealing with the problem, you just pretend it never happened? I'm really disappointed in you, Jack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-08-04 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	Oh come on, you know things are never that simple! [Or are they, where she comes from? It's a very different world, after all.] It's necessary. We don't have the resources to deal with mass hysteria. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
