Called into work early. Something serious is afoot. May be unavailable today.

You gonna be okay?

Yes, we'll be fine.

[Private to Lorne]

There's no immediate danger to us; just a few things that we need to attend to.

[Private to Ianto]

Keep me posted okay? As much as you can.

[Private to Lorne]

I will. Don't worry, okay?

[Private to Ianto]

Right. ~~And while I'm at it, why don't I just reverse the Earth's rotation so that the sun comes up in the west?~~ I'll try.

[Private to Lorne]

That's my boy.

[Private to Ianto]

I aim to please.

[Private to Lorne]

And you hit the mark excellently.

[Private to Ianto]

Well, I was top of my class in small-arms training. I almost went on to be a sniper.

[Private to Lorne]

I had some training in the OTC. We have to be qualified for firearms use for the job.

[Private to Ianto]

OTC? Sorry, my military acronym knowledge is specific to this side of the pond.

Maybe we should add a trip to the shooting range to our list?

[Private to Lorne]

Officers training corps, at Cambridge. It's a bit like your ROTC, without the mandatory service after graduation.

You want to see me shoot? I'll see what I can find.

[ooc: Have to pop out for a bit--be back in an hour or two.]

[Private to Ianto]

That's what I was guessing. Only I couldn't get around the mandatory service thing, and I was pretty sure you were never actually in the military.

There are a lot of positives to having a date at the shooting range.

[Private to Lorne]

No, I was recruited elsewhere after graduation.

Oh? Like what? I'm not going to leap into your arms at the loud noises.

[Private to Ianto]

Torchwood?

No, but...there tends to be an overflow of adrenaline and other lovely chemicals in your blood.

Plus, you look damn sexy with that gun.

[Private to Lorne]

Yes.

Mm. Yes. Adrenaline is very nice indeed.

Thank you. So do you.

[Private to Ianto]

I've never actually had a date at the shooting range, but I recently experienced the positive aspects of doing so.

[Private to Lorne]

Oh? Do tell.

[Private to Ianto]

Back during the genderswap virus? Ronon took me to the range and let me shoot his gun. There was adrenaline and excitement, and have I mentioned the man is enormous?

[Private to Lorne]

Yes, you may have said something to that effect.

[Private to Ianto]

That's pretty much the story then.

[Private to Ianto]

Did I say something wrong here?

[Private to Lorne]

No. I just find I have nothing to add.

I'm afraid things have gotten . . . difficult here and I'm not feeling terribly clever.

It would be hypocritical of me to be jealous, anyway, particularly of a relationship that's over.

[Private to Ianto]

I have a bad habit of sticking my foot in my mouth sometimes, so if I do say something wrong, please tell me.

Anything I could do to help?

[Private to Lorne]

I will.

No, there's really nothing. Just a mystery to solve.

[Private to Ianto]

Good luck.

Good luck, and... other sentiments to that effect. Stay safe.

Probably a pointless offer, but we're not that far away if ever you need additional assistance.

Thank you. We're doing our best.

Be safe, my friend. I'll be thinking of you and your companions.

Thank you. We're managing.
