Ianto readjusts his tie, heart pounding as the elevator carries him down into the Hub.

(today, today, he's coming today)

The group walks happily together, across the Millenium Centre's yard. Gwen looks a bit outraged, however as she turns to look at Jack, and then to exclaim at the others:

"He's never seen a live rugby match!"

"I have other things to do with my time!"

"Rhys knows a bloke whose cousin works at the Millennium Stadium." Gwen announces, as they keep moving. "We should all go to the next home international."

"... to get my chance..." he continues, almost to himself, as he pulls out a penlight and shines it in her eyes. "To study... to work with... anything like this."

"Anyone," Ianto corrects. He's wary, protective-- he doesn't want Tanizaki to get too carried away or to forget that this isn't some zoo sample, that this is his Lisa"Tell me," Tanizaki says as he continues his inspection, "what happened
