[a pause, as Jack weighs his options] ...you don't have better things to do with your time, now that you're off shift? [Which translates to yes, please, Sulu. Take him away. He's just going to go off and brood himself into an even worse mood otherwise]
[Sulu shrugs, locking the door behind them so that nobody could wander in unannounced.] It's... kind of my fault, anyway. I was being a little overzealous, earlier.
Yeah, well. I listened to your advice knowing that it probably wouldn't work, so. [Jack runs a hand through his hair, shrugging his jacket off and tossing it across the closest chair] He's just so goddamned stubborn. I should've realized...
[Jack shrugs] I tried to talk to him. He said he didn't want to. I... Might have pressed a little, but. Then he seemed to think that you'd put me up to it, and that was the end of that.
[Sulu doesn't want to say that, well, he sort of did put him up to it. That's probably not what Jack wants to hear. Instead, he goes to check on a few plants that he's been caring for since the shoreleave.] He should know you don't get put up to doing things. You're a little too stubborn for that.
[Jack flops down in the chair he'd hung his coat over, sitting back and pinching the bridge of his nose, slightly] Yeah, well. Apparently the fact that I never talk to him means that when I do try to talk to him, it's obviously not my idea and therefore it's not worth his time, so...
I hate to say it, but he does have a sort of point - I mean, you don't think about it until someone mentions it. Not that it's not your idea. [Sulu sighs.] It doesn't help that he was already tired, that's for sure. But, I'm still... [He frowns and shakes his head,] I'm still disappointed in Ianto. He said he'd try to listen.
Yeah, well. He didn't. [Jack rubs a hand over his face, sighing] I guess you're right, though. About him being tired. He'd been at work for a while, and he's not always at his best when he's sleep deprived. Still though... He really pisses me off, sometimes.
Yeah, well. [Sulu shot Jack a grin, though it was a little less than his usual caliber of cheerfulness.] He still keeps us coming back for more, irritating or not. For good reason, too.
Don't I? [Jack runs his hands over his face. No, he doesn't really mean it. But he is upset with Ianto at the moment, and that means that he's up for saying anything he so desires about it]
I know I'm not good at this. And he knows it too. [He pauses for a moment, before:] But I'm trying. The least he can do is acknowledge it...
I'm sure he knows that you're trying. He's just... kind of an idiot when it comes to these kinds of things. But that doesn't mean you should give up on him. [He moves down the workbench a little to check a plant sealed in a glass tube.] He's going to feel kind of like an ass for having kicked you out once he's got more sleep in him. But that's his thing. Neither of you are good with communication. [He chuckles a little,] I'm not even that great at it, myself. It's just going to take time and willingness, I guess. [Like he's one to talk, not talking about the occasional moods he gets.]
[Sulu can't really remember whether or not he'd told Ianto about how the amulet worked. He doesn't think about it enough to know for sure.] ...I don't know. I... haven't told him a lot about anything like that.

Date: 2011-06-06 09:15 am (UTC)...thanks. For, y'know. Having me over. Going back to the Hub didn't seem very appealing, all things considered.
