Really, he should be surprised when this place shows up instead of the conference room. Ianto should be completely, utterly surprised that this strange, warm place has suddenly thrown him in its grip
( Read more... )
Jack happens to be still lounging near the door when Ianto walks in, and for a moment he sits there silently just watching him with a faint smirk. New one. That much is obvious. Good-looking new one, which is the part Jack's really focusing on.
"You're not going to find any of them here, whoever they are," he says at last. "Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be there when you get back."
Jack, for his part, is not dressed the way Ianto would be expecting. Granted, he's usually an anachronism anyway, but usually of a different sort. Today, he's wearing a World War I uniform, about thirty years off his usual style. A very dirty and very bloodied World War I uniform, though both the dirt and blood are old - he could've gotten a new uniform, but none of them had clean uniforms where he was going, so it would have just looked out of place.
"Are you ever surprised, sir?" And he'll return the smile.
As if Ianto was one to talk, what with his constantly stoic expression. Sure, there was the flicker of a smile (sometimes even an unintentional pout!) every so often, but other than that, his calm exterior stayed in place.
Considering his portion of the job, he had to have that front. He hid their operations, so if he was questioned on them? He had to look believable.
No matter what he saw, he had to remain focused because, in some sense, the team's efficiency depended on it.

Time Agent, Torchwood tea boy... the required skills are more or less the same, yeah?
