Well, in truth, it really was the ghost's fault. If the ghost hadn't done anything, than there would be no reason for them to be in the parlor, trying to reason with it after being upset by its actions. Ianto winced at the tone in Sulu's voice as he spoke back to him, knowing that this wasn't easy on the other man, and that he was going to have to be exceptionally understanding in all of this.

As Sulu spoke to the ghost, Ianto squeezed his hand in support. He was really glad that Sulu was humoring him and making the effort to try things that were definitely less than an exact science, like reasoning with ghosts. "We're..." Ianto swallowed, picking up where Sulu left of. "We're not going to do any more yelling at you, so. In return, could you... Could you please calm down a little? We're... We're not trying to do anything to harm you..."

The decanter slowly stopped rattling in its place on the table, and the room fell eerily silent as all of the noise from things moving about suddenly stopped. "Th-thank you," he said in response to the ghost, although he turned to look at Sulu, addressing him as well. There was another whispering, the same voice as before, repeating his name, and then the giggles that had happened before. He wasn't sure how it knew his name, or why it kept repeating it, but he figured that if how it had reacted before was any sort of clue, he should probably just let it keep repeating, however uneasy it made him feel.
