Mine-key was drying in the sun as Imp floated past, Ianto now standing and watching intently as the wee man flicked his hands about to change direction.

"Such a lovely little swimmer" a warm voice chortled.

Ianto looked up and found the Captain crouching by the pool watching Imp so he smiled and reached out to hook the child to him so he could talk to the Captain without having to look at the beast, "Thank you. Jack had a wonderful pool put in for me and Imp loves it too."

"I see the resemblance, same nose" the Captain grinned as he watched Imp hoot to his left and turned to find Jack crouching to check the monkey.

"OK, Mine-key is dry love, wanna go get some food?" Jack asked looking over and seeing the Captain, "Oh. Hi. Admiring my lovely water babies are you?"

Jack and the Captain struck up a conversation, Jack showing interest in the man's work history and the vessel he was currently in charge of as Ianto walked to the steps and out of the water. The Captain glanced over and saw the scars, then Jack was rushing to take the boy and relieve Ianto's back, "Come on love. Poor Taddy can't get dry with an Impy bum attached."

Imp walked over and tested Mine-key for himself, sniffing to make sure he was OK. He liked sniffing things that kid. Ya know…Ianto sniffs things too.

Huh.

Jack turned back to find the Captain patiently waiting and he grinned, "So, Captain. You have Maritime laws and things right?"

The captain nodded and warmed even more as Jack laughed and told him some stories of their life and their many wonderful children. Ianto tuned them out as he carried Mine-ley, making him wave at Imp who was grinning over Jack's shoulder at him with open glee.

They walked down to the food and found Ton there with his friends, all having a party that Imp was excited ot join.

"Come sit with me" Ton said happily, "This is my baby borther Imp. He is cool!"

"HI IMP"

Imp squealed and clapped as he pulled at his saggy nappy Daddy had put in quickly at the poolside. He told the nearest person all about swimming and she seemed really nice, laughing and nodded as her eyes smiled like Ton's do. He really liked having all the Ton People around, they were all so friendly.

All Ton People are cool.
