Did ... was he just called a potted plant? Ianto slowed to a stop, a rather confused expression on his face. "Er, no. No relation to a ficus, sorry. It's the lack of leaves that lets you know." He glanced over at Jack, an eyebrow twitched upwards in a very questioning expression. Did the Captain have any idea as to what was going on?
Blue eyes flicked between the two of them, and Ianto decided to stuff away anything he might have been feeling and to play the British professional as only he could. It wouldn't do to jump to conclusions and there were more important things afoot, after all. "Sorry, Jack, I was following an odd signal. Ah. You're putting out two of them, did you know?" The last was directed at the Doctor. Who didn't look like the Doctor Torchwood taught him about. Two blue box signals. Ianto pulled out his handheld scanner and offered it over. "At least, I'm assuming it's you, sir."
