[Ianto is currently out cold, but slowly showing signs of coming round.  He's not exactly in his best state; his nose is shattered, and he has a stab wound in his chest.

For once?  This has absolutely nothing to do with the Master.]

...what is?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Flicker of a smile] That humanity that kept you from pulling the trigger.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You held back as well. You could have killed me.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I... [STOP DOING THAT IANTO.] I'm not human. I'm a Contractor. I had a reason.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Ianto says no- he likes logic just as much as Contractors. :|b] What reason?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I had to have a reason.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Threatening you wasn't reason enough?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Staring at you, Ianto, hai.] I'm a Contractor. I had to have a reason. I had to have a reason for not killing you.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Why didn't you, then?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

...

..............

...I don't know.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You don't have any ideas at all?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

No.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...are you sure you aren't still human? Even slightly?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

That's impossible. You can't be a Contractor and a human.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Can you think of a better explanation?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I'm not. It's not possible.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Why else would you let me live?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

So maybe it is possible.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

It... can't be possible. There's no... I'm a Contractor. [And hullo scalpel. Her brain is breaking a little bit, and she does not like it.]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[And would be backing off now.] What are you doing?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I... [EVEN MORE CONFUSION because killing him for presenting contrary evidence = NOT LOGICAL] Don't know.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Jack won't be happy if you kill me, you know.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[So lost] His feelings have no bearing.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Even if his feelings don't matter to you, he'd most likely kill you.
