Halloween Party!
Ianto finished setting up the last of the pumpkins along the spa's wide front porch. Q had gladly agreed to provide some decorations for the party, and, in Ianto's opinion, had really outdone himself. They were fantastic.









He went back inside, checking his costume one last time in the mirror. The khaki trousers and blue work shirt and red braces, even the heavy work-boots, he'd had no trouble in finding, but he'd had to borrow Jack's coat. WWII greatcoats just weren't easy to find these days. He'd had to pin it a bit to make it fit his more slender frame, but he was pleased with the results. The hair, well, not much he could do about that; it was too short. He'd made an effort to brush it the way Jack did, though.

He walked through to the kitchen to check on the refreshments. There were bowls of crisps and pretzels and candy. He'd made a fresh pot of coffee, in case anyone wanted some, and there were two bowls of punch, one alcoholic and one not, and a soda and beer on a cooler of ice by the door leading outside. He didn't know how cold it would be, so wanted to leave the option for people to stay inside or go out onto the grounds.

He and Jack had taken care to wear the pups out, giving them more practice walking around the grounds with their leashes, and then relocated them, bed, blankets, waterbowl and all, to the largest of the bathrooms, keeping the door firmly shut.

Everything seemed to be in good order, so he went back out to the porch, waiting for the guests to arrive.
