Coffee is always a good start, with Jack. So is that smile, which he's never been able to resist.

"You really don't have to bring me bribes, you know," he says gently, feeling a bit bad that Ianto apparently feels like he has to, even while he kind of understands that it's Ianto's way of easing into something he's apparently not feeling very comfortable with either.

He takes the coffee with a smile. "But yeah, I'd like that." He squares his shoulders a bit. "Let's do it. Have you made it to the beach yet? Or the lookout point? Or would you prefer a stroll around the coast to some of my favourite brooding spots?" he adds, with a rather dry little grin.
