Notes: The boys commiserate their first bad day together

Jack pulled the crystal stopper from the decanter and poured out two measures of amber liquid, passing a glass to Ianto.

'I don't think I've ever seen you drink,' he observed.

'Rough day,' Jack explained. Ianto had to agree.

'Have them often?' he asked, sipping the warm contents, grateful for the edge it seemed to take off his reality.

'More than I like,' he admitted.

'Is that why you don't drink? Too many bad days?'

'I just like to keep a clear head. Never know what's coming around the next corner.'

'Let's hope it's something good.'

'I'll drink to that.'

Jack's seen a lot of bad stuff, but it doesn't get easier over time.
