He quirked an eyebrow at Sulu, regarding him closely. "Well, I should imagine a lot of this is a first for you. I mean. It's a first for me and believe me, I have lived long enough to have a lot of things happen to me over the years." He gripped Sulu's shoulder for a moment longer, before letting it go, not wanting to keep it there for too long, knowing the other man wasn't as physical as he was. He didn't move his hand away completely, though, instead moving to rest it on Ianto's chest.

"You're doing a pretty good job of handling things, from where I can see, though," he said, softly. "I mean. You sure as hell handled today a lot better than I could, as you might have been able to have guessed. Handled my issues with all of this a lot better than I would have, if I was in your shoes. ...I'm going to end up owing you quite a lot, when this is all over, I've come to realize," he said, shaking his head and smiling softly, warmly at the other man.
