"Huh?" Jack turned his head to look at Sulu in the rear-view mirror, causing the car to swerve a little bit because of the speed and the lapse in attention, as well as causing Ianto to swallow audibly. "Oh, come on. Not you too." Jack smiled, shaking his head and doing exactly that, toning it down a little bit. "I thought you would have more of a strong stomach, Lieutenant, what with all that flying that you get up to. Obviously, 21st century cars must just be too much for your delicate feminine physique, or something like that."
Ianto sincerely wanted to roll his eyes, but he decided to sigh instead, relaxing a little at Jack toning down the driving. He gave Sulu's hand a light squeeze back, to tell him that he knew that Sulu had just covered for him and made Jack slow down for Ianto's own benefit, not Sulu's. He also gave a small smile to the other man, to show him that he was grateful for Sulu going out of his way to speak up for him, when he wouldn't speak up for himself, there.
