As usual, Ianto is sitting at the bar with a cup of coffee and his diary.

If one were to peek over his shoulder, one would see the words, "Today is my birthday" written at the top of today's page.

But one wouldn't do that, would one? It's terribly bad manners.

A few stools down the bar there's a teenager playing a nintendo DS. It's making irritating electronic noises, combined with the bapbapbapbap sound of a stylus.

Not exactly an atmosphere conductive to journal writing.

Bapbapbapbapbap-VICTORY MUSIC. Satisfied, Billy clicks the DS closed and looks up, a little sheepish.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you could hear it."

"The bar's pretty noisy, though," Billy points out, perhaps a little peevishly.

It's a DS. Do not insult the DS, Ianto, you'll look terribly old and unhip. "Sorry," he repeats. "Didn't meant to interrupt."

Owen would mock him.

"I don't think I've seen you around? I'm Billy."

"I'm new. Just got here a few days ago." Beat. "Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?"

Billy's probably doing well that he knows where Wales is, don't expect him to get Cardiff. "New York, 2006. Earth 616. It's taking some getting used to."

"Um." Ooh, ask a tough question, why doncha? "Within my ... world?, there are mulitple parallel universes that people have traveled to. 616 is the designation of the universe I live in."

"We probably aren't from the same world, then," Billy decides with a shrug. "Does your world have mutants?"

"You'd know. We have aliens, too, though," The last is said with a private grin.
