Jack glanced back at them, before he burst out laughing again. "Wow, Bertie," he said, "where would you be without each other? Not that I'm one to talk. Where I'd be without my morning cuppa joe, I have no idea."

"You flatter me," Ianto said, looking back and smiling himself as he watched the man fight with what they'd consider today to be a simple piece of machinery.

"You know," Jack said, turning to Ianto, "I should try to appear helpless sometime, then maybe you'd be as considerate as Jeeves here and help me out.

"Alas, Jack," Ianto said, a mischievous glint in his eye, "I know you too well. I'd just think you were up to something and then be wary of you for a while." While Jack proclaimed that Ianto wounded him with his words, Ianto himself turned back to the two in the back. "All set now, then, Jeeves?" he asked.
