Warnings: none

Summary: Ianto has to consider his options carefully. A double drabble.

The Doctor groaned as he sat there, itching to move but forced to bide his time as Ianto pondered the options in front of him. 'Is your husband always this indecisive?' he asked Jack, his impatience growing steadily by the minute

'He's remarkably good under pressure,' Jack replied, defending his lover. 'Let him be.'

Ianto cast his gaze momentarily in the Doctor's direction before returning it to the task at hand. There was no denying they were under attack, but Jack had stepped away and let Ianto take charge. 'I have faith in you, Ianto,' he'd said, so Ianto was determined to prove that Jack's faith wasn't unfounded.

He studied the battleground before him. A complex web of alternative strategies abounded. He could sure up their defenses, that was the most obvious play. On the other hand, if he was prepared to sacrifice one of them... It was risky and not guaranteed to work, but if he took the defensive position, they could be stuck here for hours.

He looked across at Jack for confirmation and Jack nodded. 'Whatever you choose, I'll back you.'

Ianto blew out a breath. 'Okay, knight to E4. Check,' he announced.

'Finally!' the Doctor exclaimed.

So who won?

Probably the Doctor in the end I expect.
