Sulu couldn't help but laugh at just about everything Ianto was saying; it was just so good to hear him making jokes and being more like his old self. His usual self. It was nice and normal and it only helped reinforce the fact that yes, things could and would get better. Right now they were at a low point, but after he talked to McCoy and asked him to help, and after they calmed Jack down from what was inevitably going to be a pretty bad reaction, things would be back to normal.

"I'm not making any promises," Sulu said with a grin, picking up his mug with both hands and taking a small drink to bolster his mood. "But I'll try not to do anything just because I would love to hear you shriek. It'd be entertaining, to say the least."
