Rating: PG
Challenge: 427 - Bow
Notes: There's a right way, a wrong way, and Jack's way

Ianto was nervous. He'd never imagined he'd get to meet the Queen.

'So, what's the protocol for meeting royalty? Do I bow?' He'd seen them do that on the Royal Variety Performance. That seemed like the right thing to do.

Jack just shrugged. 'Sounds about right.'

As the ornate doors opened and the two monarchs proceeded through, Jack took a few steps forward to meet them.

'Lizzie!' he cried, wrapping her in a bear hug, and placing a kiss on her cheek. 'Phil, how's it hanging?'

Ianto was so flummoxed by Jack's greeting that he ended up curtseying by mistake.
