Ianto nodded, and headed off to the bar to buy said drinks, leaving Jack to answer Bertie's question.
"You can't think of these things in a linear time line," Jack said. "That's where it gets confusing. You need to think in numbers of years rather than specific dates." He chuckled to himself. "Hell, if you thought in dates, it would be dozens of centuries before I was even born yet."
He smiled at the two of them. Best use the time as wisely as he could while Ianto was still out getting drinks. "It's nice, though. You two, being as open as you are--it's really quite unheard of for the 20's. Even in the 21st century, people still really aren't comfortable with themselves really. Ianto for one..." he said, trailing off. Ianto had his reasons to be insecure, and Jack certainly couldn't fault him for them. He just wished... "I just wish he felt more comfortable in his own skin, y'know?" he said, lightly.
((Okay, so... xD; Really, I went online trying to find a venue that would be a dance club/nightclub/bar that didn't play all hip-hop and such, as that's not really any of their scenes. And the ones that don't are really more gay/drag type venues. So I found Oceana, which looks nice, and has theme days, and Jack loves his 40's and 50's, so. Voila. Basically, any hits of the 40's through the 80's are free to play. For example, Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald are going to play at some point (Ella for a slow song), because they're fabulous. So...yeah. xD;; Just good hit songs. Frank Sinatra, the Moody Blues, Steppenwolf, Jack Jones, the Beach Boys, Beatles, Elvis, etc... "Oldies" if you will, but the crowd isn't that old, because no one above 45 really goes to a nightclub like this one. A lot of explanation, but, does that help? :P;;))
"Janto-mun"? I...really like that! 8D
