No, Ianto had suspected that Jim would probably give him an answer like that. He seems the sort of man to really throw himself into the job. He knows the type.
What he isn't expecting is the statement to follow. It's enough of a surprise that it shows on Ianto's face, and he fumbles his response for a few seconds before he does his best to recover and offer a reply.
"I..." He raises his eyebrows slightly, before flicking the other man a little smile. Still half wondering if Jim means to be addressing him in the offer, but he's not going to test his chances by asking him otherwise. "I'd like that. If all goes well." He takes a step back from the other man, before flicking him another self-conscious smile. "I'll see you around, Jim."
Best make a hasty retreat before he embarrasses himself any more than he can salvage the situation from.
