it's not what it looks like
Honestly, Ianto has no clue about what is where in the Hollowed Grounds - he's only been there a handful of times, and that was back when Zariah was ruling the roost. How strange it would be to set foot in the place again, when it's arguably more dangerous than before. Does that mean he has gotten braver? Unlikely. He's probably just more reckless than he used to be.
"I'll go in search of that manor, then. We'll drop by the forge on the way into the Greatwood. Be ready, aye?" Tipping a wink to the other man, Ianto reaches out and gives the side of the wagon a good pat with his hand. There are no horses to draw it, and yet it still rumbles away into the forest on its own accord. A moment later, and the fox merchant is simply gone.
