"They had to smuggle the refugees into the cities, but no one was harmed," Ianto reassures as well.

Of course John would go on to talk about the Coalition and the food, though. He definitely has an obsession with food. Ianto called him out on it once and he got sensitive about it so he knows not to do that again, but he gives the other man a look as if to suggest that he's doing it again. And no, he won't mention the drinking contest you got yourself into either, John. That's entirely on you.

"It was a Peace Coalition," Ianto corrects. "Put together with the leaders of both cities to mend bridges after all the tension before then. It seems to be holding so far, you know. Fanatics notwithstanding. Which is where the dragon comes in, I suppose."
