Ianto would honestly really rather not talk about Jack with John, especially when things are still so tentative between the pair of them, but he supposes it's an honest question to ask.

"I think I know how to find him," he says, quietly. "He lives out there. In the city somewhere. He thinks he belongs here, that he's lived here all his life. It's a question of how to reverse what's happened to him -- what's happened to all of them -- that's another matter entirely. It's why I'd gone back out into the forest, to try and find..."

Try and find what? Even Ianto's not quite certain exactly. The forest goddess they'd spoken of? That glen that some people had mentioned? He hadn't exactly had the best of plans and perhaps that's why he'd gotten himself lost again. He shakes his head.

"I don't know," he says again. "I don't even know where to begin with... All of this. I mean. It has to be some sort of a spell, but I'll be damned if I know the first thing about magic."
