It worries me a bit when things are quiet at work, but I'm going to just count my blessings for it and catch up on paperwork.

[Filtered to Lorne]

Guess what was waiting for me when I got to the Hub this morning?

That would be your latest package. Dr. Jackson must had paid a fortune to get it here so quickly.

The blanket is going right on my bed when I get home tonight, and I love the pictures. (I will admit to tucking that one of you in the astronaut's uniform into my breast pocket.)

For what it's worth, you're not a dick. I've never thought that.

So, tell me about the umbrella.

Dw i'n dy hoffi di.

[Private to Ianto]

*eyebrow* And? What does it mean?

[Private to Lorne]

If I tell you now it'll give you nothing to look forward to in the next package.

Don't pout. It's a good thing.

[Private to Ianto]

*sigh* Fine. I can wait.

*does not pout, does not pout*

Hm...I think I like it better in Welsh. :P

[Private to Lorne]

I don't know, there's something poetic about it. I am yours . . . liking you. And if I were talking about you in the third person, I am his, liking him.

[Private to Ianto]

You know, you're right. I think I got distracted by having it broken up into its component parts. It's harder to parse that way.

[Private to Lorne]

Language works better as a whole rather than in parts.

That sounded deep in my head, but it just looks nonsensical written down.

[Private to Ianto]

Not at all. It's like "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Only less pretentious sounding.

[Private to Lorne]

Don't mistake the forest for the trees?

No, that doesn't make any sense, either.

[Private to Ianto]

That's because it's "Can't see the forest for the trees." Which is like me trying to parse that sentence in pieces rather than all together.

[Private to Lorne]

Yours am mine to be loving.

O:-)

[Private to Ianto]

Welsh rendered into English requires transcendental reading, doesn't it? You have to sort of get the spirit of the words, rather than the words themselves.

But, uh, me too. I think. ;)

[Private to Lorne]

Or maybe I'm just playing with words. I do that sometimes. How much can I twist them up and you still understand me?

[Private to Ianto]

I work with McKay and Zelenka and Parrish and innumberable other eggheads. I'm pretty good at pulling meaning out of gibberish.

[Private to Lorne]

Gibberish?

*pouts*

[Private to Ianto]

I didn't mean it like that. Just that if you're being intentionally convoluted, I'll still know what you mean.

C'mere. *kisses your pouty lips*

[Private to Lorne]

I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised at that. You've always understood me.

*goes into your arms and kisses back*

[Private to Ianto]

And you understand me. Which is just another reason why I love you.

*holds you close and kisses you softly*

[Private to Lorne]

I love you too, sweetheart.

Mmm . . . that feels good.

[Private to Ianto]

It does, doesn't it? Soft kisses on your cheeks and your nose and your eyes and your forehead.

[Private to Lorne]

It feels like heaven.

[Private to Ianto]

I don't ever want to stop.

[Private to Lorne]

Oh, don't, then. Particularly on my account.
