I think, I'm not sure where Kali is on this, that Jack knows how much he feels for Ianto, but maybe not how scared he is of losing him -- not just because of romance, but because Jack's used to him just being there and relies on him, and is someone Jack doesn't want to let down the way he probably feels he let down Owen and Tosh and the way he knows he's hurt Ianto in the past by just not noticing things.
You have no idea the level of self-restraint we had to engage in with the Boe thing. There were so many opportunities to do something insane. And we had to just keep stopping ourselves in a place where it's speculative for Ianto and the reader.
Well, she's getting a PhD and I studied Latin (and am sort of just an asshole). But we like words a lot. And we are glad when other people like us liking words, because some people find it off-putting!
