it's not what it looks like
"Maybe..." Ianto smiled weakly. Because for all of what she had said - the description of life within the barrier, the barren earth, the monsters of LongNight - the fox had been taught very strictly that it was not to come down. Then again, he very much doubted he could keep a former captain of the Storm Army from anything she put her mind to. (Mainly because he was more of the 'live to fight another day' sort of guy).
His smile warmed somewhat at the sight of her relaxing in the grass; it made her much more human in his mind, and he leant back to prop himself up on his elbows. "Mmhm," he said. "I mean, I wouldn't have, because it was far too dark, and some people do try to take advantage of it. But there's no... LongNight monsters, or whatever."
Further mention of the Fae had Ianto sitting up again, the fox chewing his bottom lip thoughtfully. "They're a private lot," he said. "Curious, but they don't trust easy. They didn't take kindly to me when I first arrived, put it that way. And... they can do a lot of different things. They have wings, magic, I've seen some shapeshift, like I do..." He shrugged, before nodding to her in confirmation about the paths.
"I've made myself as useful to them as I can," he murmured. "Though it wasn't Delah who taught me the ways."
