In the momentary lull before the band begins to play

CHARACTERS: Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, and Luthien
LOCATION: Space Bar & elsewhere
WARNINGS: flirting, couple fighting, & Jack Harkness
SUMMARY: Ianto has planned a special dinner for him and Jack. Too bad Jack unthinkingly blows him off to hit up the space bar with a very beautiful someone else. And is promptly found out.
NOTES: Two threads! One for Jack & Luthien at the space bar, the other for Jack & Ianto after he is in Trouble.


So maybe Jack should have checked with Ianto before he invited Luthien to a drink or two with him at the bar. Maybe he should have connected the dots when Ianto had asked him when he would be off of his Security duties. What was it they said about hindsight being 20-20? They should include another whole separate clause about what happens when Jack Harkness gets thrown into the mix, as far as relationships go. He should have known that things had been going too well for him lately.

Jack looks good in his shirt, braces, and greatcoat, and he knows it too. Of course, he looked good out of them too, but she's obviously a bit more comfortable running into him like this. He rocks on his heels slightly, grinning down at her.

"You clean up well, Princess," he comments, approvingly.

It's not often that she finds someone looking down at her, with a father who stood at eight feet. She doesn't let it bother her though, her confidence never came from her own height. And she can appreciate how he looks now without embarrassment.

"I should hope that I do. Especially now that my dresses are dry and no longer smell of the sea." Or what she thinks the sea smells like. Doesn't help that she's never been there but her fathers stories gave her an idea.

"I am glad that I can see you dressed, this time."

Jack motions down at himself with a smile. "I clean up well at times myself. And Ianto would probably have something to say about it if I tried to go around in the nude, for that matter," he adds, with a wide grin.

"Hopefully you approve. I'll have you know, some people have told me I look incredibly handsome like this." They've never really accused him of being modest, however. "And I'm pretty sure if he'd be upset with me if I had to strip it all off to meet your approval, princess or not."

She can't help but laugh lightly and shake her head.

"I think there would be many who would say something about that." Some good and some bad, though her thoughts don't go so far. She can at least agree that he does look handsome. That much she can appreciate without being embarrassed.

"I promise you, your being clothed is enough already." Part of her rushing each jump is to avoid those kinds of situations as well as avoiding certain people.

He chuckles in response to laugh. "Well then," he says, with a chuckle. "Hopefully you won't object to an invitation of a drink with me, then," he says, with a smile. He makes sure not to wink this time, since she didn't get it last time. "With me and my clothes," he adds cheekily, after a moment.

"As long as it is with you and your clothes, I see no reason I might object." It would be nice to see a bit more of the ship too. She'd been so careful up until then, not counting when she got lost in the corridors.

"Lead the way?"

Jack shoots her a saucy look (with no winking this time though, he knows better now), and offers her his arm. "It would be an honor, milady," he says. And only Jack Harkness can make even the most innocent of statements sound like a flirtatious come-on.

Looping her arm around his, she grins. It's clear that she's pleased, hard not to be when she was getting to see more of the ship, had pleasant company and he was being a gentleman about it.
