It's probably a good thing that Ianto and Spike are both good at prodding him into action.
And since his lack of interaction with Ianto so far has been less about active avoidance and more just not actually seeking him out, he's not upset when it turns out to be Ianto knocking on the cabin door. Far from it. He smiles widely, genuinely pleased to see him, even if a tiny knot of apprehension does start to make itself known in the pit of his belly. He shoves it down for now, and focuses instead on the flasks in Ianto's hands.
