Wow, John, after he offered you a 'Ianto Jones special' and everything? He's wounded. Ianto makes a face at the other man and steals a few more fries from the plate just for that. John did push it closer to him again, after all.
Her question is obviously directed at John and he sits back and lets the other man field it, swiping a few more fries as he listens to John's response. It really is a sort of military mindset, to be fresh out of a pod and looking for some sort of structure or chain of command to follow. He doesn't know what it says about himself that he'd always assumed from the start they would be on their own to figure it out for themselves. Perhaps it's his lack of military training. Or perhaps it's what his experience from Torchwood has taught.
"The natives have a king and queen," he points out. "Of Wyver and Olympia, respectively. But it's a bit more of a free for all amongst the rest of us. The Natha only brought us here," he points out. "They expect us to behave, and yes, I'm pretty sure they could put us right back where we came from if we don't, but there's hardly a structure to it beyond that." He glances aside at John. "It’s anyone’s guess when a person will wake up and no use asking the Natha themselves. I’ve certainly never gotten anywhere with that myself.” Though granted it had been about the pterodactyl but still. “You’re just going to have to wait for your grumpy Canadian scientist like everyone else.”
