Well, well. It's been a while since anything truly disasterous has happened to our fair town. Might we have gotten a reprieve at last? One can only hope.

Thank you to everyone who sent Ianto well-wishes while he and New Brew were out of commission. It means a lot to the both of us. But things seem to be more or less back to normal around here, so let's enjoy the peace while we've got it.

Private to Aisling
Want to help me with my greenhouse? I could really use your touch. Mostly because there's nothing in it. Would you mind helping me fix that?

Private to Tim
How are we feeling? We should talk.

Private to Gwen
So. Do you have a new boyfriend or what? Come on, I'm dying over here!

Just some things I have been putting off talking to you about.

I think now might be a good time to bring them back up.

Like what? I'm getting worried now. Should I come out to the shop?

[stopwatchesandcoffee]

I would rather talk to you about it in person. There is no need to be worried, though.

[chronosexual]

If you say so. I'll be out in just a minute. Been fighting the watering system in the greenhouse.

[stopwatchesandcoffee]

Take your time. I'm not going anywhere.

action!

As promised, Jack emerged from the secret entrance not long after his last comment to Ianto, looking either well-worked or like he'd spent a day at the water park, it was tough to discern which. He'd checked the monitors to ensure that they would be alone at least for a while before he emerged, and crossed over to greet his lover on the cheek with a kiss.

"You wanted to see me, boss?"

Ianto smiled at Jack, slipping his arm around the other man. His broken arm still wrapped up for good measure, but not in the heavy, frustrating cast it had been in before.

"Very funny." He slipped away and pushed the cup of coffee over toward Jack, leaning slightly on the counter. The store was open, but not many people knew about the reopening yet, so they had time before they were likely to be interrupted.

"Did you straighten out the watering problems?"

[chronosexual]

"I think so. It's nearly sorted, but I thought that I could do with a break." He smiled and accepted the coffee with thanks, sipping at the warm liquid and sighing contentedly. He leaned on the counter and smiled over at Ianto, happy to have things more or less back to normal.

"What did you want to talk to me about? I'm not in trouble, am I? I don't think the storefront is the proper place to adequately dole out punishment." Jack winked and grinned playfully.

"I wanted to talk to you about Tim." Ianto didn't dance around the topic too much, now that Jack was up here. There were certain things he had kept out of, so far, that he felt he should have spoken up about. Now was a bit late, but it still needed to be brought out in the open.

Flipping the sign on the door, Ianto took a seat at one of the tables, a cup of coffee in his hands. He looked up at Jack expectantly, waiting for the other man to join him.

Jack likewise carried his mug over to the table and sat across from Ianto. Tim? Yes, the two had been at odds as of late. Did Ianto know something that Jack didn't? "What did you need to say?" He asked, settling in and turning the coffee mug in his hands. "Have you been speaking with him?"

It really wasn't his business what his employees did in their spare time. Was Ianto about to suggest that perhaps Tim take his place?
