Ianto shrugs slightly at the heathen comment. What can he say, he's a city kid and he's never set a foot too far from some takeaway spot or another. Save for, he supposes, that recent field mission in the Beacons but he doesn't really like to think back on that experience if he can help it.

"Yes, we had a lovely time stumbling through what I know are some of my favorite memories, I don't know about you?" he comments, sardonically. He doesn't know about John but he would rather have not re-experienced that particular moment in his life, if it could have been helped. He raises his coffee again to take another sip and hopes that they can be finished talking about that particular turn of events.

"I suppose by comparison we might have had it easy, though," he replies. "Apparently when the tensions were high between the cities they actually shot one of the drop ships down."
