The hand covering his is at least promising, even if John can't look him in the eye while he does so. He supposes there must have been a reason why John's changed his tune and decided that they go down this path towards Khalo instead of trekking up the mountain to take a look at the altar instead, but the fact that he's done so already puzzles him. Investigated the altar, looked into the rest of it.

Does he really hold it against Ianto himself that he'd had a rest while he'd been so busy himself? Should he not have tried harder? No, that's a ludicrous thought. He'd been hit on the head, he'd needed his rest, and anyway he'd managed to uncover some useful information besides. And John really is going to get himself killed at this rate, if he doesn't ease off on himself a little.

"What pointed you in the direction of Khalo, then?" he asks, though what he wants to know is whether the other man really did sleep at all. Whether he's had anything to eat between when Ianto saw him last besides that piece of bread.
