Challenge: 439 - Buff at tw100
Notes: Ianto has to find something to do, else he'll go mad

At first, he'd been scared to touch it. It wasn't natural, and he worried that it might try to hurt him. Then he remembered himself. This wasn't some monster, this was the woman he loved. What did he have to be afraid of?

Every inch of her was covered in blood and grime. He took the cloth and gently began rinsing the worst off the metal and skin. Once he was done, he took a second cloth and buffed the metal parts to a high sheen.

Now it was just habit, every day, taking his mind off what came next.

Oh, wow!

I can just see Ianto, tending to Lisa and keeping her shiny out of habit.

The nights are long and lonely, so there's not much else to do, and he doesn't really know what else to do. Poor thing.
