Ianto flicks the other man something of a smile -- it's meant to be reassuring, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes.
"It's not -- it's not that," he says, awkwardly. "It's just. Isn't it -- I mean, better to take care of it first? The longer it's left untended, the more risk there is of infection?"
That's what he's assuming, anyway. John's the medic though, not him. He would know better than Ianto himself. Still -- if the choice is left up to him...
"I can wait to finish this," he offers, gesturing at the soup. "I'd rather make sure that we did this properly -- while we still knew you wouldn't be able to feel it, yeah?" Who knows how much longer those drugs will last, or whether the other man will want to take more when they wear off. Better make the most of them while they're in effect.
