Ianto did as he was told, concentrating on the hand on his back and not on the fact that he had just thrown up in front of the person who had asked him on a date, and he was probably the least attractive he would ever be in this moment, and how could Sulu want to date him after he'd seen him like this? He stood there and breathed, not too deeply and not too shallowly either, as he waited for his stomach to settle a little more, not sure if it really would, considering it was the fact that he wasn't touching Jack that was making him feel this bad, and not anything to do with his actual physical condition. Ianto was used to dealing with situations that might otherwise cause weaker-stomached people to throw up, so he knew all the tricks in the book to quell the urge to start the retching all over again, and he used them all in that moment.
It was probably a minute or two after he'd stood up that he raised himself from against the wall. The vertigo had done nothing to get better, and in fact may have gotten a little worse, he was pretty sure he was starting to see stars on the edges of his vision, but at least his stomach was behaving itself again. "Alright. I'm... I'm not sure that I'm exactly ready, but I really don't want to be here anymore..." He didn't want to have to say he wasn't sure how much longer he had until he passed out, but it could be any moment then, and he'd really prefer to be much closer to where Jack was than here, at the bottom of the stairs to the car park. He didn't want to have to say that, but he was pretty sure the look he was giving Sulu in that moment said enough.
"If... If you want me to be any help to you, we need to get moving and fast. And... Preferably not stop," he sighed. "I. The way to get to the Hub is pretty much just following the tunnels, but in section 5, the one with the table in the hallway, you take a left and follow that through until you're in the main Hub itself. I. I hope that it doesn't come to this, but. If for some reason I..." he trailed off. "There are intercoms as we get closer to the Hub. My personal code is 220589. It should patch through to the main intercom in the Hub and well. If. If Jack's got any sense whatsoever, he'll be ready to come and find us..."
