[Ianto's working on fixing a heavily modified piece of tech from instructions Tosh has given him.  He's alternating between paper and machine, working methodically through the instructions.

Loud pterodactyl is loud, and so it's easier to get it done on the Astral Plane than at the Hub (or so Ianto hopes).]

[Jack doesn't even answer, just let's out a soft growl under his breath; he wishes Ianto would just listen to him and stop arguing with him, but it doesn't seem like something that'll happen anytime soon]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't say anything straight away; because how exactly are you supposed to respond to a growl?]

Do we usually argue this often? In your own reality.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You don't usually disagree with me so feverishly about things.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You aren't usually so adverse to us saving you.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

All the more reason for you to listen to me now.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

That isn't easy with what you're asking.

((This (http://community.livejournal.com/shifted_ooc/43930.html) is the reason I died the other day, btw. Really sorry. D:))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You don't join Torchwood because you expect things to be easy; we have to make hard choices, and part of that is listening to me even when you think otherwise. [long sigh goes here]

I need you to trust me, Ianto.

[ooc: I saw D: And don't worry about it just hope you get yur comp fixed soon? Also replied to Ianto's entry, btw]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I do trust you.

((Oh, good. Wasn't sure. Should be fixed in a couple of weeks, depending on when I manage to get it in the post. And I noticed.))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Then I need you to listen to me on this.

[Ignore that previous comment; I was trying to do a hyper-link thing for a thread I just received the notice for, and LJ randomly posted >>]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'll try.

((Still not getting them anyway. |Db))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

{sighs again, because this is probably the best he's going to get out of Ianto]

[ooc: >< Responded to this (http://community.livejournal.com/realityshifted/98027.html) thread]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He pauses, not really sure what to say to him.] I won't unless I have to.

((Haha, okay then. XD))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You won't have to; just five more months, and everything will be back to normal.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Anything could happen in five months. I can't promise you anything.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You have no reason to risk both your lives to try and get me from the Valiant.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

We're at risk even away from the Valiant.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

But there's no need to draw the Master's attention to you; it's what I spent most of my time trying to avoid.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Even if we don't draw attention to ourselves there's still a chance we won't survive.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You'll still have a better chance than if you anger the Master.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I know.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[loooong sigh goes here, because the fact that Ianto understands his logic just makes the stubbornness all the more frustrating]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't say anything, realising that wouldn't really be a good idea right now.]
