Who? The Doctor & Ianto Jones. (Open to Jack to jump in on as well, if he wants!)
When? Morning.
Where? Out and about.
What? A strange sort of meeting.

When the Doctor had opened the curtains and peeked out of the window that morning, he couldn't help but shriek with delight. The planet had changed yet again, and this time it had transformed into a winter wonderland. He supposed that Rose had got her wish for a cold place after all. The sight of the snow practically turned him into a child, and instead of bothering with anything else at all, the Doctor had a desperate need to explore.

His outfit was the same as ever, while people around him were wrapped up in hats and ski jackets, but that was just the way he was. He did have a vague thought of searching the TARDIS for that long scarf he'd once been so fond of, but that would have to wait. For now, he was far too excited to think about anything like that - in the distance, he could see skiers and snowboarders, the frozen lake with ice-skaters already eager to get going, and... dear god, were there even huskies? He could hardly wipe the grin off his face as he started to explore a little further... although he didn't get too far in his thin-soled shoes, since after only a couple of metres the ground suddenly became a lot closer than it had been before. he looked about in confusion. "Eh, ouch!" he exclaimed, a bit of a delayed reaction to his fall, as he tried, unsuccessfully, to get to his feet once more.

Ianto quickly processed everything in his brain. If he had no companion after Rose, than that meant he hadn't met Martha or even Donna yet and if he hadn't met Martha and lost Rose then that meant... that meant...

"Oh god," Ianto muttered, running a hand over his face as he turned away in disbelief. Canary Wharf hadn't even happened for the Doctor yet.

He glanced back at the Time Lord, studying him silently. What was he supposed to say? He'd said all the reasons he had for hating and being grateful to the Doctor that the Time Lord would know but everything else that had yet to happen...

"I come from a bit farther along in your timeline. Almost two and a half years, I believe. Almost the end of 2008. Actually, I'm not even sure if that's correct since I don't know what year you're originally from. To keep things simple, my name is Ianto Jones, I love and live with Captain Jack Harkness, and you've hurt him very badly in the past. I do not appreciate the pain you've caused him and don't understand why he still looks up so highly to you."

The Doctor brushed the excess snow from his suit once again, but there was very little point considering he was soaked through. He listened rather impatiently to Ianto's story as he started babbling on about 2008 and so on; he was about to explain to him that it didn't matter what year either of them were from originally, that time wasn't a straight line and two years for Ianto could actually be 50 years later for the Doctor... but what was the point?

"Well, it's... eh, interesting to meet you, Ianto Jones," he said coarsely, although he couldn't help but quirk an eyebrow as Ianto mentioned loving and living with Jack. "You must be from further forward in my timeline than you imagine. Jack settling down? Immortality must be taking it's toll," he said, murmuring the last part. He sighed, crossing his arms over his chest in a pathetic attempt at keeping himself warm.

"I suppose you mean because I left him on the space-station?" he asked, not sure what else he could possibly mean.

Ianto resisted the urge to lash out physically once again, instead gritting his teeth and clenching his hands into tight fists. "He's different," Ianto insisted. "He's changed for the better. And yes, that's what I mean, among other things. Lots of other things. Most of them haven't happened yet in your time line so I will refrain from throwing them in your face. However, that doesn't mean I'm going to forget them. I've heard a lot about you, Doctor, and while I don't think you're as evil as I was first led to believe, I know you can be cruel. I also know you can be kind as well. You saved Jack's life even though he tried to con you. You've saved the world many times." He sighed, shaking his head a little. "You are a very confusing person. Hopefully I'll come to understand a few more things about you since we're all stuck here. You did know that Jack was here as well, right?"
