It's very nice to meet you, as well. Ah, I-- [He hesitates, then confesses.] A very dear friend of mine was sent home recently as well, but... permanently, we think. So, I'm glad to have the opportunity to meet you.
[Something painful twists in his chest and he struggles to keep his face neutral.]
...longer than that. We know he's probably gone, but... at least he's gone home, I suppose.
[He shakes himself a little after a long moment and manages a smile, his expression clearing.]
Regardless! If the Captain has seen this I expect he's gone pelting for the square, but if you don't meet up with him you're more than welcome to drop by our place to collect him. We live... slightly in the woods, so if you have any troubles finding us, please let me know.
[ Ianto pauses, answering with a grin. ] Last I heard, he was on his way here already. But I appreciate that - and you looking after him. I'm glad to know he's found good friends here.
[Shingo's smile turns slightly curious at this odd echo of the same sentiment he'd shared with Jack over Ankh and he laughs softly, looking pleased and a little shy.]
Well, he offered the same to someone very important to me, when someone they cared about went home for a while, so I thought it was only fair.
[Smiling hesitantly over the SFC, tilting his head slightly.]
Ah... are you looking for someone...?

Yes. I am, actually. A Captain Jack Harkness. Do you know if he's still here?

[His smile warms, slowly.]
...are you Ianto Jones, by any chance?

And yes, that would be me.

Ah, I'm sorry--I didn't introduce myself. I'm Shingo Izumi.

It's a pleasure, Shingo. [ A brief smile ] I'm well - Ianto Jones as I already mentioned. Hello.

I'm sorry to hear that. It appears the trend is they aren't back in three days, then they aren't coming. How long has it been for them?
