Day 414 / Open action
Jack's out and about today but he's starting to like Mistletoe Days less and less the longer he's here. And especially just now – given the current delicate state of his blue-band relationship, getting caught by a bot today just seems like it'll be asking for trouble!

Nevertheless, he will inevitably get caught. A man can't live without his coffee, and he's determined to make up for his binge drinking over the last couple of days (or twenty years) by getting back into his early morning swim routine.

He's kind of looking for Ianto too. A little too nervous to actually call him and get this talking thing started, more kind of hoping he'll just run into him and – well. Things will just happen.

((OOC: Decided to put this in a separate post for easier navigation on potentially long threads!))

((Note: NSFW happenings in the Ianto thread (surprise surprise!!!) ))

	He gives her the hug gladly. It seems pretty unusual for the two of them to have a good, celebratory reason for a hug, and he's going to make the most of it! "Yeah, me too. I think we've got a long way to go, but considering how scared I was that there was nothing left for us at all..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just keep listening and talking. You'll get there." She pulls back with a smile. Really happy for both of them. "And I will kick your asses if you don't." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, ma'am!" he says smartly, with a grin - and, really, it does feel good to be talking to her like this with no angst at all. He lifts an eyebrow. "How are things with Chekov?" He knows their little trip into the future affected them too, even if not quite as much as him and Ianto. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Who knew angst-free was even a setting anymore? She's edging toward happy some days! She smiles as soon as he asks about Chekov. Such a tell.

"They've been good. I mean, mostly good. He's a little further along in things than I am which is awkward sometimes, but I think I want to be where he is. I'm pretty sure. I think I'm ready to leave the past behind." Meaning, her on again, off again thing with Reid mostly, but if she takes her past as a whole it's a big, heavy, complicated mess and instead of dragging it around it would be nice to walk away with just the important parts. "He told me he loved me. A few times. Before the glitch too."

"That sounds really good," he says sincerely. He always rooted for her and Reid at the time, but in retrospect, she and Chekov seem a much healthier thing to root for.

"Oh yeah, you said about him saying he loved you thing." He might have been self-absorbed that morning after the future glitch, but he still remembers they talked about this. "How's that going? He's still not pressuring you to say it back or anything?"

	It's okay. She was rooting for her and Reid for a long time too. Rooting for something new is still something she's adjusting to. "Right. I guess I did." she smiles and shakes her head. "Can you even picturing Chekov trying to pressure someone?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He thinks about it for a moment and then chuckles. "Actually, no. He could be just about the sweetest person I know. And I think you really deserve that after all you've been through." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I just hope..." She trails off, looking thoughtful as she tries to gather her words. "I don't want to be bad for him. I'm still figuring out how to be okay again. He doesn't deserve to be screwed up by that." Not to mention that part where he is really sweet. She knows his life isn't all sunshine though. He can deal with things. He isn't entirely innocent. But she wants to be someone who can be kind and affectionate and giving and she isn't sure if she's that person yet or if she's still healing and hurting and regretting.
