Ianto raises an eyebrow at the prompt. Aren't you supposed to ask questions that you know the answer to, so that you might know if a man is making sense or mixing up facts in his head? How is John to know whether he's telling him the truth or not? Moreover, should he tell him the truth. He's never been very good at admitting anything around his upbringing.

After hesitating longer than he probably should have, such that he's sure John is probably questioning whether he is concussed, Ianto raises his eyes to meet the other man's and admits, "Newport. I grew up in Newport." His only consolation is that John probably has no idea of what sort of connotation that carries with it.
