Svetlana has been restless. She's gone through all the usual ways to occupy herself - reading, talking a walk, relaxing with a cup of tea. She's even tried knitting, of all thing. Nothing's helped

Ianto happens to be slipping from downstairs when he notices a familiar face in the lobby once again. He's a little surprised to see him sleeping (because really, it can't be too comfortable).
He'll think up a cup of his own coffee and move so that one hand brushes against the man's shoulder, trying to wake him slowly.
"Molokov?" At least get him back up to his room. Sleeping in the lobby couldn't be pleasant.
Molokov starts at the hand on his shoulder. His eyes fly open and it's a moment or two before he realizes where he is and who's talking to him.
"Mr. Jones."
He wonders how long he's been asleep. That even he even fell asleep in such a public place in the first place worries him, but that's neither here or there at the moment.
Ianto offers the man the hints of a smile. He's done his share of falling asleep in public places (mainly the Hub, but well, it happens), so he can sympathize on some level.
He holds out the mug of coffee, "Sorry to wake you, but your room might be a more comfortable place to sit."
Molokov doesn't strike him as the sort to fall asleep in public, really. But he won't bring that up.
College students have a way of forgetting to eat, even in a place where they can think up food, until someone or something reminds them food would be a good thing. Smelling someone else's culinary exploits? That'll do it in a heartbeat. So there's a Cosmo packing up his problem set and wandering over. "Smells good."
Svetlana smiles wider, pleased to hear this. It's nice to have your work validated, especially when your children generally take no notice of what they're shoveling in their mouths.

"No, I appreciate the thought. I shouldn't have fallen asleep here. Too much on my mind, perhaps."

There's all kinds of food - chicken, beef, soup. And there's tea. Plenty of tea.

So he does. Less so the tea than the food - he's more of a coffee person by nature.
"This is good."

"I'm glad you think so."
