[Tosh brings her desk with her to the Plane again, though for once, she's not working. Instead, she has her head buried in her hands, her shoulders heaving with quiet sobs. It's pretty obvious that she's come here to escape the rest of her team for a few minutes.

There are a few crumpled tissues on the desk in front of her, and a fresh box to her right. The crumpled tissues cover a file strewn across her desk, but you can still see the black-and-white picture of a handsome soldier, possibly from the early 1900s.]

[Sorry, Tosh. You don't get to escape Ianto. He slides a cup of tea onto the desk in front of her, along with a plate of her favourite biscuits. His hair is slightly mussy from having just woke up, and he's feeling a little guilty for not having come to check on her sooner.]

[Tosh sniffles, dabbing at her eyes with a tissue for a moment, then gives Ianto a weak smile] Thanks, Ianto. [she takes the cup, holding it in trembling hands, and sips the tea]

[He momentarily returns the smile, and starts picking up her discarded tissues.] You going to be alright?

[shrug] Haven't got much of a choice, do I?

[He sighs, and puts the tissues back down, not really having anywhere to put them.] I suppose not. Still, if there's anything I can do...

[she shakes her head] I just need a bit of time, that's all. [sipping her tea] I just...[pause] Do you think it was wrong to allow myself to be attracted to him in the first place?

[He sits on the edge of her desk, picking up Tommy's file and studying it for a time before he replies.] No... certainly inadvisable, but not wrong.

[snort] We all do inadvisable things from time to time, I think. [she worries her lower lip] He trusted me completely, and I sent him back to die.

[He looks a little hurt at that, and suspects it might have been a jab at one of his past courses of action. But this isn't about him, so he puts aside the file and turns back to her.]

You did what you had to, which is more than I'd have been able to if I'd been in your place.

[Noooo Tosh loves her BFF and wouldn't do that to him. D: Everybody else in Torchwood has done stupid things - like, uh, Owen opening the Rift and releasing Abaddon?]

It was one of the hardest things I'd ever done. [she takes a deep breath] I didn't want to. He didn't deserve to die so young - and not like that.

[Oh, yes. That was all Owen's fault, and none of the rest of the team were involved at all. :|]

He didn't deserve to. But he had to. If he hadn't gone back, none of us would've survived.

[The mun insists that shooting Owen was totally the right thing to do there, by the way. Tosh may disagree with this.]

I know. [she nibbles on a biscuit] And if we hadn't been...attached, it would've been impossible to convince him to do what he had to do. It's all perfectly logical, really.

[Yes, if only he'd been aiming for his head instead... the mun may disagree with this.]

I think what's logical is pretty irrelevant at this point.

Logic is generally pretty relevant, I've found. It makes me feel better when I've let emotion rule me for too long.

((ooc: sorry for disappearing earlier, had to angst ;;))

Tosh...

((It's fine! *pets*))

[Edges over, looking slightly awkward] Um... [Thinks for a moment and then drops from the plane, reappearing a few moments later with several boxes of chocolates]

[blinking at the boxes of chocolates] Er, thank you?

[Juni is rubbish at comforting people, at least she didn't bring a demon dressed up in pink bows or something] Um, what's your favourite type?

[sure, let's talk about chocolate when Tosh just sent someone to die D:] I...like white chocolate? [she still looks a little perplexed]

[Juni has no sense of appropriateness at all D:. She'd would be balancing two of the boxes on her other arm as she passes over the white chocolate] Well, here you go.

[she obediently eats a couple pieces of chocolate] 's nice. Thanks.

[Tries not to look too relieved] You looked like you needed some.

[Here comes a horsey, an underlying current of human concern drawing her over to nuzzle at Tosh's shoulder. She's barely there, in human terms; more mentally horse than human at the moment.]

[Tosh gives the horse a confused look, but scratches her nose anyway - she thinks that's what you do with horses? Tosh has never exactly been around farm animals a lot.]

[She snuffles at Tosh's hand and huffs a breath into the woman's face by way of greeting.]

[small smile] Er, hello there. I don't think we've met before.

[She has the smell of Ianto on her, so Aniki feels quite relaxed in her presence. She snuffles at Tosh's hair and lips gently at her shirt.]
