Ianto can't help but flick a smile at the other man at the suggestion. Who knows when or if something like that is even possible, but the thought of it is oddly charming, and the fact that John suggested it in the first place is even more so.

"I'd like that," he says, raising his sandwich to take another bite of it so that he doesn't embarrass himself -- or John, he supposes -- with anything else. But he would. He'd like to get to know John's friends. He'd like to get to know John more in general. In any way he can. And John obviously cares for these people, enough to have kept them close to his chest for as long as he had.

"I found Owen," he says, after a long pause. "In the stasis pods. I know the rest of them are supposed to be out there somewhere, but. While you were..." He trails off awkwardly, because he doesn't quite know how to talk about John's death and his time in the medical pods while he'd been recovering. "It's silly to say, but. It's good to at least have proof."
