Ring? John squints, and it takes him a moment to put everything together before he finally works out exactly what they're talking about.
"Right," he says, with something like -- resignation? Mild irritation? "The thing Kirk gave you."
He didn't say 'Hot Date' or 'Boyfriend', at least, so that's one thing. Herding Ianto through the streets John largely tries to block line of sight to Ianto where he can until they're back out of the built up area, into slightly more wild paths -- for good or ill. His hands steer him vaguely, flitting between his shoulders and his back just in case he needs to yank him away at a moments notice. Eventually, though, they're away from the crowds. His eyes flit around, still, as if wary of something surprising them, but so far nothing has. So far, either anyone following them lost track or lost interest.
"Tell me you at least got something before we left," he says finally, because it doesn't feel like they should walk back after making a rapid exit like that.
