Ianto's task
Ianto was worried, not that he would let the others notice it. If Owen got the tinniest hint that Ianto Jones was nervous, he would never let him live it down. Just as Ianto thought that if something else happened between now and his task that might make his head explode, Tosh walked over, putting a comforting arm around Ianto.
'Hey, what's wrong? You'll be okay, you know. I was nervous. You can tell me how your feeling.' Ianto considered it, on one hand, sharing his thoughts was probably a good idea (a problem shared and all that). On the other hand, Tosh was know Owen girlfriend, Ianto had worked with her for almost two years and he knew that if Ianto told her, she would tell Owen his problem, or even Jack.
Just as Ianto was pondering what to do, his envelope arrived, throwing him a great lifeline to get away from Tosh.
'Ianto, it's for you!' Jack called, in a voice that made him sound like a housewife. When he informed Jack of this, Jack told the rest of them that is how he was going to act for the rest of the day.
'What are you all moaning for? Anyway, Ianto get on with the challenge.' Ianto opened the envelope and, after reading what it contained, let out a sigh of relief. He now did not need to worry.
'What's your task, Ianto?' Gwen asked, concerned. Ianto turned to face her.
'It says that I have to be a tour guide a give a tour around Cardiff Castle. That's ok. I can do that!' Gwen smiled, happy for him.
'Right well, I'll see all of you guys later.' With that, Ianto left the Hub. Jack turned to the others.
'Whose up for some Ianto following?' When none of them jumped at the opportunity Jack sat down and sulked, hoping that someone would offer to go with him.
'This isn't how housewives behave, Jack!' Petal informed.
'It is in our time, and I am now on strike.' Everyone except Jack laughed.
At last, four hours later, Ianto returned. He looked tired but relaxed and calmer.
'Well, how did it go?' Frida asked.
'It was fine. I never knew that the history trips my dad took my sister and me on would ever be of any use. Anyone else up for a pizza?'
