"A bit more advanced than your average mobile, but it's similar. We usually call them tablets," Ianto tells her, putting down his own mug of coffee whilst he speaks to her. He suspects it would be cruel to keep drinking it when she appears to have just been separated from her first mug of the day.
"As for your coffee, you should be able to get another one from the hatches after you've left the room you're in. The doors should just open for you, now that you've got your tablet."
Oh, a little person! Tonks blinks at the mini-Ianto, and then runs a hand through her short hair, looking thoughtful. Tablet, not quite a mobile, go through the door, opens because of the tablet. Easy enough.
"Right then," she replies, picking up the tablet and examining it. "These-- what'd you call them, hatches? These hatch-things, what's the spell for getting coffee?"
Pause. "Also, not to be a bother, but you wouldn't happen to know why I can't Apparate, would you?"
Ianto blinks a little at that, still not used to the whole magic thing, even though he knows there are quite a few people in Taxon who use it. "Spell? There... isn't one, actually. You just put your hand on the hatch, think it, and it appears."
Apparate? The word's unfamiliar, and yet Ianto's sure he's heard it before. It only takes him a matter of moments to remember who's told him about it before, and he remembers it's a sort of teleportation. "I would imagine that's got something to do with our captors not wanting us to leave," he tells her, pausing a moment before he continues. "You wouldn't happen to know a Luna, would you?"
Well then. Tonks is intrigued by the idea of these hatches, and will be investigating immediately, heading out through the door and barely noticing it opening by itself. Even if Ianto hadn't told her about it, she wouldn't have given it a second thought.
"Captors?" Tonks asks, blinking. "I was only joking about the kidnapping bit. It's really true?"
Pause. Luna, Luna... oh! "Oh, yes, Luna! Luna Lovegood, she's a friend of Harry's! She's here?"
Ianto hesitates, taking a long moment to respond. He hates this part, and he suspects most other people do as well. "It would appear that way. None of us have ever seen who or what brought us here though, so far as I know."
He nodded at that, granted he hadn't seen Luna in a while, but he was sure she must still be here. "She is, yes. Haven't seen any Harry's, though. Lucky for him, I suppose. Ianto Jones, by the way."
No, Tonks isn't all that happy about being stuck here, especially when she has urgent things to attend to back home, but then again, who doesn't? Frowning slightly, Tonks shifts the tablet in her hand and checks her pockets for her wand.
"And this wristband contraption, I'm to assume this is from our lovely friends as well?" She asks, distracted by the band around her wrist.
"I'll have to seek her out, then, say hello," Tonks replies, nodding. "Hi there, Ianto Jones, the name's Tonks. It's a pleasure."
