Ianto took a leisurely swig of his ale, moving to rest his chin on his hand as he did so, cocking his head to smile at Sulu. "I don't doubt it," he said, casually. "I have it on good authority that you're actually rather fond of having me around, and I don't think that losing me to space bears would be your idea of a good time, especially after your last mishap with them."
Maybe it was the alcohol again, but Ianto didn't even realize how much more optimistic he was being in this moment, and how he was actually really looking forward to this whole planet visit thing. He understood that it might not be for a while, but he was a patient man, he could wait. He also understood in turn that Sulu was assuring him that the two of them would still be...dating? together? whatever it was that they were in however much time that took and well. It was reassuring. Ianto colored at that thought, and yet found that he really couldn't stop smiling at it either.
