047: Scared

[livingmyths]

Something's wrong. I don't know what, but the clocks are dead and there's something in the wind and... it's just wrong. Like bad wrong.

And I'm scared.

I want to be home safe in my house where I can see the stars, but it's dark and I'm afraid to leave the library.

Rain, you need to be safe. Once it's light again, there's plenty of spare rooms at my house, if you want.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I'm safe here, Ianto. I... I don't know much about your house.

[king-coffee.livejournal.com]

If you're sure.

My house has rather... tight security, shall we say. It's necessary.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I... I trust you, Ianto, but I don't know who else you live with. Maybe I wouldn't trust them. Or maybe they wouldn't trust me or want me there.

Are there lots of doors? Could I see the stars?

Most real houses are too scary for me to stay in.

I live with Jack, Gwen and Kyle. I think you've met some of them? They won't mind you there.

Plenty of doors, and we have windows in some rooms that go from floor to ceiling.

Jack who cooks? I know him. I don't think I know the others.

[king-coffee.livejournal.com]

A different Jack. One who wears a big military coat.

Abby lives there, too.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh. He scares me.

But Abby's one of my best friends!

[king-coffee.livejournal.com]

He can be a bit loud. I'll make him behave.

She's lovely, isn't she?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

She is.

Okay, then. I think I'd like that. But if I get scared I can go back to the Library, right?

[king-coffee.livejournal.com]

Of course you can.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay. Then when it gets light out I'll come over.

[king-coffee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, make sure not to go out when it's dark.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I won't. I already promised Mat I wouldn't.
