[Ianto had only been intending to idly play around with the scanner. Catch a glimpse of someone's liver here, watch another person's heartbeat there. It's a fascinating instrument and since he can't take it away to be used as it should, at least he can give it something of a workout here.
At least, that had been the idea. Before he had come across the man before him and the display had all but lit up with anomalies. Ianto is no health expert, but there's something off about his lungs, he has bruising all over his arms, chest and neck and when he toggles the scanner deeper, the bone in his leg is...
He all but drops the thing completely as he realizes he's become so engrossed in looking at the display itself he's forgotten there's a man attached to it as well. A man who has, it would seem, taken notice of Ianto's study. In a manner of speaking.]
Ah. [He says, smoothly. (Welshly.)] You... Say that as if you have a bad one. [Hopefully flattery will help him dig himself out of this hole? Save for the fact that he has yet to toggle the scanner out of its x-ray setting, and probably won't be able to, if he doesn't want to draw attention to what he's been doing.]
