Jack held his hands up in front of him for the second time that day. "Okay, okay, I can take a hint. Guess I should lay off of the complimenting your womanly physique for a little while, at least. Although well. It's not like you seem to care. It's Ianto here that seems to be taking the offense for everything, though I'm just going to say that all I'm doing is stating the obvious, here. But if you insist..." Jack turned in place, moving to grin at the opposite wall from where Sulu was standing. "Does this work for you?" he asked. "I promise, there aren't even any mirrors in this direction for me to spy with. Scout's honor, as you like to say."
Ianto, on the other hand, was a bit nervous for this, because for one, getting clothes on one-handed was a challenge. He knew from when he'd dislocated his shoulder and he'd been ordered by doctors to keep it in a sling for a few days, that it ached too much to move around enough to use it to get dressed. He was actually worried that Sulu just might have to use his other hand, and then Ianto's hand would be that much closer to touching and things could just go so horribly wrong, there, and. Jack reached out a hand and put it on Ianto's shoulder, and he jumped, snapping back into his thoughts. "Yes," Ianto said, knowing that it would probably be a long time before this blush left his face, "right. We'll...we'll give you as much privacy as we can, and you can just. Change. I'll...I'll obviously need to stick close by, but."
"Relax, Ianto," Jack said, physically turning Ianto around, "we both know that you won't be anything less than a gentleman about it. Now. Give the lady her space," he said, winking at Ianto before turning back to look at the opposite wall with Ianto. "Alright, then, Lieutenant, work your magic!"
