He spoke occasionally as they danced, but only really to warn her what move he was about to swing her into; he didn't have breath for more than that! He smiled at the little kiss and pulled her in for a quick hug, before nodding his agreement at the drink request. He could do with one after that too!

He selected some cider, having tried it earlier, and glanced at her over his glass as she spoke. "Yeah, he mentioned it. I'm glad things are getting better between the two of you now."

He'd hated having the two of them against each other.

	Martha took a sip and smiled, albeit a little sadly. "I missed him. And you. Even though i think it was right for me to figure out some boundaries it was hard not having you as my go to people. I think it's going to take some time with Ianto, but there's hope." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"There's definitely hope. He can hold a grudge, true, but he can also let go of them surprisingly quickly." Look at his turn-around regarding Spike, for example! He smiled warmly. "You'll be fine, the two of you. Just need some time for things to work their way through. And you know he'd still do anything to help you if you need it, don't you? We're always there for you, if you need us."

	"Thank you, Jack. I do know that." At least, she wants to believe it, though she's not always sure sometimes. She turns the conversation to something lighter. "What do you plan to do with your points from today?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm saving them up for something special," he says promptly, because he doesn't want to give too much away. He wants this to be a surprise, partly to please her, partly because he suspects she'll refuse his points if she knows in advance. To put her off the scent, he adds, "And, you know, for emergencies. I need points to get bullets for my gun, for example. And you never know when you're going to need those!"

	"Yes. I imagine the bullets would cost a pretty penny. Do you need to use them often though? The bullets?" Perhaps for the velociraptors. "I decided to take your advice and ask the Wardens for scar removal. Hopefully this can at least get a bullet wound or two removed." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Not that often. But I ran out the last time the raptors escaped. It seemed sensible to stock up for the next time!" It's likely there'll be a next time, after all. Or something worse.

He regards her quietly for a moment, pleased that she's actually made the step to ask the wardens about getting rid of her scars. "They said they'd do it, then? If you get enough points?"

"Definitely. I was out for the last one with nothing better than a kitchen knife. Kind of dumb in the grand scheme of things, but they don't give us much to work with here do they?"

Martha sipped her drink, though she ended up sputtering at his question. Laughing and drinking don't mix. She reached for a napkin to mop her face as she answered.

"They said they are capable of removing any scars received at any time. And they intimated it would be a steep price. I wasn't in the mood for fighting so I took their offer to gain more and figured I'd ask again in a few days."

[OOC: Speaking of, Martha's probably due to talk to them again about this. And I'd love for her to find out somehow that Jack did donate some points to her, though obviously that's up to you how that happens.]

"Yeah, exactly, kitchen knives aren't the best weapon against those things." He grinned. "Perhaps we should both brush up on our archery skills for when the bullets run out!" Remembering their joint attempts at archery at the Day 365 celebrations. "At least bows and arrows can be made from the materials around here!"

He frowned when she spluttered, ready to bang her on the back if she seemed to need it, but she recovered on her own and he nodded, brain working fast. "Thank goodness for that! I was kind of worried they'd say no, that it was good for you to have to work through it or some crap like that."

[I'll have him go and talk to the AIs this day/week. Then they can surprise her with more points than she thought when *she* goes to talk to them! :-)]

	"Oh god the archery!" She laughed again. "I never spent all that much time in the shooting range here, but that's not a bad idea. The laughter died away then. "Do you think they'd let us make arrows? If we just started sharpening sticks and storing them away, would they stay put do you think?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He grinned along with her, because their attempt at archery had been rather laughable. "I'm pretty sure I remember someone made bows and arrows while they were here. Artemis, perhaps?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh! Then yes. Perhaps we need to start a woodworking class. And archery lessons." Martha bumped shoulders with him. "I'm up for it if you are!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2017-01-19 04:24 pm UTC (link)
	"It's a plan." He thinks a moment. "Might need to actually take woodworking classes first. It's not something I've had much experience of, really!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2017-01-20 12:40 am UTC (link)
	"I might have to check the course catalog again. I don't remember woodworking classes being part of the curriculum at the education center," Martha replied with a laugh. "Though I'm sure the library has some excellent books." (Reply to this) (Parent)
