When Jack stood, Sulu shifted as though he might get up as well, but he stayed seated. There was that name again, Lisa. He knew only the vaguest things when it came to whoever Lisa was, and he was more and more sure with every passing mention that he didn't want to know. Not now, definitely. And he also could tell that this wasn't the same as that situation, whatever it had been, and that it wasn't worry but anger that was making Jack bring her up.

That wasn't going to help. And what was more - Jack's exclamation, that Ianto was using him, just didn't make sense. Though he found himself wondering, what if Ianto was hiding more from them, what if there was more he wasn't telling them - he couldn't think like that. He couldn't imagine Ianto keeping anything else, not after how upset he'd been about this situation itself and how guilty he felt. Sulu was far too optimistic to think anything less of the other man.

"Jack," Sulu said instead, tone firm, "He's not lying about anything else. This is all he has to lie about. He hasn't even been outside, how could he have anything else to hide?" Sulu realized that was harsh, and maybe it would sting for Ianto, but he couldn't help it. It was the truth. He could only hope it was all true, even the part about him not hiding anything else. "I know you're pissed, believe me, but don't lash out in anger."
