[RL WITH GWEN]

Ianto walked toward the pub, having parked his car a little ways down the street. He'd gone back home after he'd gotten out from the Hub, after he'd made sure that all paperwork that needed to be done for the next few days was done, that the creatures in the cells and Myfanwy were fed, and really, that Jack was placated and preoccupied for the night, so he wouldn't try and come over to his flat and find him, well, not there. He knew the man would track him down, if he really wanted to.

Ianto'd changed into more casual clothes, just a pair of jeans, a more casual button-down, and a jacket to go over that. He'd found the jeans that he'd bought with Sulu on that one day that the other man had visited and Ianto had tried to show him around Cardiff, but had ended up in a menswear shop. Not only were they too tight for just a night out to the pub with Gwen, but Gwen'd probably ask questions, and then he'd have to explain it all, and for now, he'd really prefer not to explain it all, especially considering he doesn't really understand what's going on with all of that himself.

He knew, entering the bar, that he would probably be the first one of the two there. Gwen, bless her, was always running fashionably late. Or well, maybe Ianto was just a little bit too much on time. Regardless, he went and found a table around the normal area that they usually sat, ordering up a lager for himself, and sat down to wait for Gwen.
