So where's the best coffee in town? And better yet, where can I commandeer an amazing coffee maker, mechanically speaking rather than personally speaking, of course.

Opinions? Ideas? Helpful suggestions? Coffee is important, after all.

Why are you always dragging me shopping?

[captaininnuendo]

Because if I'm not dragging you out, we risk the option of me trying to drag you in. I'm trying to be good, can't you tell?

[likeabreath]

I can tell.

You can drag me along if you want.

[captaininnuendo]

And while we're out, maybe we can find me a date. It's been way too long and we all know how crabby I get when it's been way too long.

[Why yes, he just suggested his finding a date with you on his arm, Gwen. Sorry.]

[likeabreath]

Jack. I'm not a dating service.

[captaininnuendo]

No, but you're the closest friend I have here and... Alright, I'll go out by myself and find a date. But you know, just in case there were no attractive people around to date with, you and I could be attractive together... out.

[likeabreath]

... I wouldn't want to be a second choice.

[captaininnuendo]

I would never make you the second choice. That's why I invited you in the first place. Gwen...

[There's a pause and a deep breath here.] You've always come first, since the day I met you. You know that.

If that were true, I might not have gotten married.

You were with Owen... and Rhys... and... then there was me and Ianto. I was just trying to live up to who you thought I could be. It's an awfully high pedestal, Gwen. I don't think I ever clawed my way to the top of it.

You might be surprised. Especially now.

[Jack shakes his head, the only argument he'll vocalize about that at the moment. So much of him feels dead inside. Having Gwen around gives him a little spark of life that is necessary for him, but he also sees it as dangerous. That spark had brought about so much death and destruction.]

I don't know what to do with you. Usually I always know what to do.

Funny. I feel the same way.

[There's a smile, tight smile before she cuts the feed.]
