"I never worry about it," John said, still a bit too hung up on the whole "secret organization under Cardiff" part of the conversation to really care that Jack had called him anything less than handsome. Dashing would've been nice too, but that wasn't his side of the spectrum. Not that he was paying any attention to words at the moment.
He blinked at Ianto's explanation, listening to how he trailed off and, as any man who had to deal with a mad detective would do, scrambled to pick up the pieces that had been scattered about their otherwise benign conversation. Torchwood, all right. Never heard of it, that's right. Why wouldn't he have heard about it? Their worlds were practically the same. Except for the weird things in the sky. Sun disappearing, stars disappearing. And Ianto was assuming he wouldn't know of Torchwood because... Well. Because it was secret. And also because it had to do with the things he didn't know about, and those things probably meant...
"Ah," he said in comprehension, because really, it had to be either a NASA type thing, which wouldn't be outside of the police, or. Well, something like SETI, maybe? Who knew. Ianto was going to have to explain it - or this Jack fellow. Either of them. ...Lord, if they could. He really should have left a note for Sherlock.
