Summary: Ianto is a creature of habit, as Jack discovers. A double drabble.

'Did you find anything?' Jack asked as he and Ianto regrouped after scouring the building.

'Nothing. Any luck with you?'

Jack shook his head. 'Nada.' He groaned and picked himself back up. 'It's okay. It's fine. I mean, sure, it's annoying that whatever this thing is that it can just pop in and out of space wherever it feels like, but we're bound to catch a break sometime.'

He flipped open his vortex manipulator and studied it. 'Guess we just wait for another strong signal to point us in the right direction. Let's go wait in the car.' Jack made to move down the corridor when he noticed Ianto wasn't following him, but instead walking off in completely the opposite direction.

'Ianto! Lifts this way.'

'I know.'

Jack felt confused. 'So, why are you going the wrong way?'

'I need to take a leak.'

'A leak?'

'It's an office building, Jack. Lots of bathroom facilities, and a whole lot cleaner with less syringes on the floor than that nightclub we were at earlier. Always use the bathroom when you get the chance, because you never know when you might next. Nothing worse than chasing after aliens and getting caught short.'
