	[ That's honestly why the thing at the Defence Force went so surprisingly pear shaped. He thought he and Ianto would be on the same page more than they were. Mismatched expectations. ] Not on purpose, but you know how they are. They always find a way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He feels like he's making a habit of ruining his relationships lately. This is only one of the examples that springs to mind. Maybe it's the state of things with Jack just now that have him wanting to make an effort to fix it.] Speaking of, I'm afraid there seems to be one incoming now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ On Reid's side, he's seriously starting to give up on friendships here. He can count the people he trusts on one hand and maybe he's just been here too long with too little space. Things deteriorate quicker when there's nowhere to go and cool off. ]

Oh. [ He looks in the direction of the robot with a defeated sigh. ] Sorry, but I'm not even going to try and escape. I'm starting to think that just agitates them more.

	[If it's any consolation Ianto feels like he's been running low on friends lately as well. Too many of them are disappearing for his taste.] No need to sound so resigned; surely I'm not that terrible a kissing prospect? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's nothing personal. I'm a germaphobe with Aspergers, physical contact in general can be, ah. Uncomfortable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-02-14 01:59 pm UTC (link)
	Is there anything I can do to make it less uncomfortable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-14 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	[ He shakes his head. ] Let's just get this over with. No offence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-02-15 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	None taken. Now, if you'll permit me. [He tries to balance the kiss somewhere between enough to keep the bot happy while still being brief enough not to make it overly uncomfortable for him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-19 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	[ He's been here too long to be completely stiff and unresponsive about this. At least he's not trapped with Tyki and a lit cigarette again. He responds to the kiss with the same straight-to-the-point approach, trying to strike the same balance of just enough. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A few moments later and there's a pop of confetti that allows him to step back with a faint smile] There. Not too terrible, I hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-24 10:32 am UTC (link)
	No. That was downright tolerable. [ He takes a moment to brush confetti off himself. Ugh. ] So, uhm. [ Clearing his throat. ] How are things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-02-24 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	Ah yes, just what I aim for in all my kissing endeavors. [This is where things have the potential to become awkward so he does his best to steer the conversation away from any sensitive topics for the moment.] Oh, you know me. My life always seems to have some sort of drama at any given moment. And yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-25 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	It's... fine. Same old, you know. [ Casually overthrowing the government. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-02-25 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	[Yeah that would beat his drama if he knew about it.] Hard to believe kissing robots counts as same old, but that's this place for you I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-26 01:51 pm UTC (link)
	I've been here nine months. This is my fifth time around. [ So, yeah. Same old. ] I'm surprised they're still keeping at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-02-26 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	I think it probably amuses them. [Some of the things here genuinely do seem random and unintentional but he gets the sneaking suspicion their captors do this one because they think it's funny.] I sometimes wonder if we're like some sort of soap opera to them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-26 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	Wouldn't surprise me. [ Although that makes him wonder. ] Have you talked to them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-02-27 01:46 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. One of them, at least. Mary. We've spoken quite a few times. [There are notes but he will not ask if you saw them while ransacking headquarters because he's a classy guy.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-03-07 06:09 am UTC (link)
	[ Mary. He didn't see that. Maybe Ianto caught him before he got that far or he didn't realise what he was looking at. ] You... know one of them by name? That's unexpected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-03-07 10:02 am UTC (link)
	Yes. We've spoken several times now. She's answered a few questions I had. Nothing I really think we could use but overall I get the impression she's being truthful in what she does say. [He'd never think of her as a friend and he's still quite intimidated by her but he respects her and, oddly enough, trusts her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-03-08 09:05 am UTC (link)
	[ He's reeling a little bit from this bit of news, partially because he doesn't know if he has the right to ask for more information. ] Where... [ Hngh. ] Where did you meet her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-03-08 10:05 am UTC (link)
	Originally? That day the doors opened. But she tends to show up whenever we have a larger celebration or event here. [Just as your questions let this be a peace offering between them here okay.] I've spoken to her a handful of times since then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-03-09 05:28 am UTC (link)
	So you've... you've seen her outside of the simulation. [ How has he missed this? ] What's she like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Not human. [Not getting a real look at her hasn't stopped him from forming an impression. Torchwood will do that to you.] Not a species I knew, but she reminded me of some of them. Sometimes we'll find something or someone so completely and utterly alien you can't really find a way to describe or understand them at first. Everything is too different, even basic impressions don't translate well. She's easier to talk to here since she appears human. Overall she strikes me as very professional. It's hard to get her opinion on something, but that leads me to take her facts at face value since that seems to be what she focuses on as important.

	[ This is a lot, enough for him to completely forget the fall out they had. ] So you've tried asking her questions... about the prison? About why we're here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
