1. What we do not say is just as telling as what we do.
2. I admire your evident strength.
3. Footsteps echoing on tiled floors.
4. The youthful gentleman from Top Gear.
5. The same.
6. Older than I should, though that is hardly original.
7. We are relatively unknown to one another.
8. A state I would like to alter.

(pppssst pretend my unobvious is unobvious. You have anon comments disabled!)

... Reinette? I think I could recognise your writing anywhere.

Thank you for the compliment, and likewise, actually. And I think with all we have seen, it isn't a surprise how old we feel.

1- The more you care, the stronger you can be.
2- I'm glad you've got Rhys to go home to. If any of us deserve a normal life it's you.
3- I'm planning on nipping to Tesco's tomorrow. Anything you want while I'm there?
4- The ones I hate to admit to are the ones I won't admit to.
5- Shirley Eaton, in her younger years.
6- Older than I am, for the most part.
7- Must be about two years now.
8- I don't think you really need one. I'm not very good at anonymity, apparently.

Oh, Ianto, can you pick up more of those biscuits? The ones you got last time were great and I think Jack ate them all.

And thank you. I know I haven't said much about it, but I'm glad you and Jack... well, you know. It's nice that we all have someone, now.

I'll get extra, and put some to one side. Maybe that way we'll actually get a chance to eat some of them.

I know. And thanks. Infuriating as he can be sometimes, I'm pretty glad I have him for the most part.

Thank you! I swear, I don't know how he keeps his figure eating biscuits like that.

He really is quite fun, in his own way. And, you know... experienced. Not that I'm jealous. Cos I'm not. As a matter of fact, Rhys looked a bit too relieved when he realised what was going on.

No idea. By all rights he should be at least slightly overweight, with all the rubbish he eats.

Oh, he is. He might have the manners of a pit bull sometimes, but he's a lot of fun, and he definitely knows what he's doing. How long was it before Rhys realised, anyway?

It's not fair, is it? Even with all the running we do I've still had to cut down on the crisps.

Oh, I think he suspected from the beginning, but you two weren't particularly subtle at the wedding. Made his night, it did.

I don't really bother cutting back. It still shows a bit sometimes if things have been quiet, though.

I'm not sure that's the sort of thing that's supposed to make your wedding night, Gwen. Although not much of it did go how it was supposed to in the end, really.

I think it's a bit different with blokes, Ianto. You don't quite show it the way we do. Though, running in heels gives you a better workout, if you wanna try it sometime.

I've given up on things going the way they are supposed to anymore, Ianto. I'm quite happy now with I can get.

I'd rather not, thank you. I had enough trouble with getting that wedding dress for you; I dread to think what'd be like buying womens things for myself. I generally favour practicality, anyway.

And at least you didn't have to go down the aisle pregnant, in the end.

Designer high heeled boots are absolutely practical. Though Rhys doesn't think so what with me having to buy a new pair every two weeks or so. By the way, I don't think I thanked you enough for the wedding dress. It really was beautiful and I really did appreciate it. Shame the blood will never come out.

I am extremely thankful the pregnancy didn't make it to the photos. I would have had a hell of a time explaining that to my future children.

I think I might be inclined to agree with him. And don't worry about it. Couldn't have had you going up the aisle without a nice dress, could we? So far as things go, it was one of the better things I've had to do in this job.

Instead you'll have a hard time explaining how your dress got to be so messy to them.

You'll always be my wedding fairy, Ianto.

Good point. I'm thinking of telling them it had to do with Rhys punching Jack. Because that's one thing I don't mind remembering.

Nice to know I'll be remembered for something.

Me neither. I think that's the one part he'd rather forget, though.

Oh, I hope you know you'll be remembered for much more than that.

As for Jack, I have a feeling he hasn't seen the last of getting punched by me or Rhys. He should start a tally to keep track.

I hope so. I'm aiming to be remembered for my coffee, at least. Possibly for my well-cut suits, or ability to find a dry cleaner who can get stains out of anything.

I'll keep one for him, if you like. If he did it himself he'd either forget to keep track, or cheat.

You'll also be remembered for being courageous and cleaning up after all us with rarely a thank you. But, yes, mostly the coffee.

Please do. I'd like to see how that tallies up over the next year. He was certainly on a roll this year.

Lots of C's, then.

I've got it pinned up in the Tourist Office. Any this year I don't know about and should add?

Quite better that what I'll be remembered for, I'm sure! Besides, "Remembered for his Courage, Cleaning, and Coffee" seems like a catchy thing for a tombstone. Though I don't suppose we get those in the Torchwood morgue.

Not as of yet. Though, things could take a turn quickly, so always be prepared!

Oh, Gwen. You'll be remembered for much greater things than cleaning and coffee. Not in the morgue, no. But those of us who are still in contact with our families get a grave. Empty, of course, but at least we get a headstone for it. The only thing in the morgue is a number.

Got a pen next to it, and a space for making notes.

Oh, I'm sure Rhys will bloody love that. Do me a favour, and make him think I'm actually buried in the coffin. I don't think Jack will appreciate him trying to bring flowers to the morgue.

Ianto Jones, always prepared!

Well, it's usually a part of the point that the family thinks there's a body in the coffin. I think there even has been in some cases. Just not... well, not who they think it is.

I do try to be.

Oh, God, I don't even want to think about some other poor soul being buried in my coffin.

You do it well. You know Jack keeps you around for more than one reason.

Sorry. Probably would've been better if I hadn't mentioned that.

For one thing no one would ever know where anything was, if he didn't.

No, it's better I know now. I think. Just swear to me you won't let Jack bring me back willy-nilly as he seems to enjoy doing.

Oh, it's more than that. After all, I'm convinced we would have been lost if you hadn't been here the last time he left.

He won't, Gwen. Gloves only come in pairs, remember?

I wasn't any less lost than the rest of you were. You would've been fine.
