"Gee, and you'd think a queen would be a little more gracious!" He gives her hand a squeeze as she tells the story, laughing more with it. "What titles did she give you, anyway? Everyone used to make a fuss about spotting the 'blue box'. Ahhh, the running!" He grins with that. "It's funny how you can miss the running. When Torchwood's running, it's usually towards some threat instead of away. I think it's more exciting the other way!"
The touch is very much appreciated, and he meets her gaze. "Damn. What a way for the monarchy to pass. Do you know if they used to throw around 'phantasmagoria' as much as they did here?" He settles back in his seat once they aren't touching hands. "Ahhh. Yeah, that... that changed a lot of things."
He looks automatically to Ianto with that; does he tell Rose about it? Would Ianto want to? "I thought you were dead until I caught up to the Doctor. You were on the list here. Really glad that was wrong. And hey, a Tyler heading up Torchwood, that's gotta be good!"
