"Don't be mad at him," Sulu said immediately, almost blindly defending Ianto - who was at least partially to blame for the whole mess, after all. Sulu just didn't see things the way that he probably should, when it came to people he cared for. "I should have been paying closer attention, and it's not like you can help yourself when you get nauseous." Sulu wasn't even aware of Jack's train of thought - it seemed that the virus was sporadic, to him, and that none of this was really Ianto's fault. Except for the part where he failed to tell Sulu he was starting to feel the effects, that was.

He wondered if Ianto would feel better seeing Jack or Sulu himself. He had a feeling that he might not recognize Sulu immediately, not like this, and that if he saw Jack - well, he'd know that they'd made it back to him safely. "You should probably do it," he said finally, "I'm pretty sure your face is the one people like waking up to. Especially since it's more recognizable than mine," he laughed.
