Ianto has been wandering the Nexus for a while now, mostly observing the going-ons. Finally, it seems he's actually ready to ask a question.

"What do you do when you can't remember something important?" Ianto asks, glancing around. "And is there any point in trying to get back home, when you've really got nothing to go back for?"

"I've been trying to figure that out," Jackson answers, because there's something he thinks he's forgetting, but he can't figure out what it is. "Keep going over it in your head until you figure it out? I don't know. That's not really working for me, just gives me this awful headache."

The secondary part of the question gets a confused headtilt from the teen. "I ... isn't there always something to go back for?" He thinks it's sad, even if he feels like they're in the same boat. Metaphorically speaking.

"I've tried and I just can't place it, and I should be able to it. I can remember meeting everyone else, why can't I remember meeting him?" Ianto says, biting his lip.

"The only reason to go back, is here, with me." Ianto says, quickly.

Jackson is confused, obviously. "I don't understand. Who don't you remember? What's the only reason?"

"I can't remember meeting someone. A teammate and I can remember meeting all my other teammates for the first time." Ianto explains. "And my lover is here with me." Yes, the teammate and the lover are the same person, but Ianto doesn't want to explain that.

"Because he's not... not real."

[torchwoodbutler]

"Whose not real?" Ianto asks.

"Can't remember meeting him, can you?"

[torchwoodbutler]

"I'm sorry, have we met?" Ianto says.

"Eye Candy! You recognise me right?"

Hey it happened with one of 'em...maybe they've all completely forgotten him (horror of horrors!)

[torchwoodbutler]

"Unfortunately," Ianto says.

"Oh, I'm so happy!" John cries dramatically, and wipes an imaginary tear away.

"If that's the case what have you forgotten that's important?"

Ianto blinks, staring at the other man, because he was there, wasn't he?

"You should know, we talked about it earlier." Ianto replies.
