“I feel like I’m never going to be clean again,” Ianto complained, vigorously scrubbing at himself in the locker room showers, grateful for the almost unlimited supply of hot water the Hub’s furnace provided. “I’ve got mud, not to mention alien blood and other… substances in places I don’t even want to think about.”
“It was a bit messy,” Jack agreed, “What with the rain and everything.”
“A bit?” Ianto paused his scrubbing just long enough to stare incredulously at Jack. “A BIT? It was like a mud wallow out there! And that was before the alien knocked me down and I had to shoot it! If I hadn’t managed to shove it off me, I might have drowned in mud and blood, not how I’d choose to go out. One of my shoes is still out there somewhere, and my suit would be ruined even if the sleeve hadn’t been torn off in the scuffle.”
“I’ll buy you a new suit,” Jack promised. “I’ll buy you TWO suits.”
“While that would undoubtedly be appreciated, what I’d really like right now is for you to get in here and scrub the parts I can’t reach.”
“I can definitely do that.”
The End
