[While he's been understandably more than a bit on edge since his conversation with Jones, Jack's been >trying to act like nothing's wrong so he might actually be able to get Ianto to relax a little and talk to him about whatever's going on.
On top of that, even all the worries Jones planted in his head along with all the ones that are usually knocking around in his head, Jack is still himself and these last seven months have been the longest he's gone in decades without going into the field and he's getting more than a bit restless and not just because of the tiny feet and elbows that interrupt his sleep on a regular basis.
So for once he's actually trying to plow through paperwork to give his mind something to do, but even when trying to use it as a distraction it's still mind numbing, so he's also been futzing about with that 'smart phone' Ianto setup for him when he'd regressed back to his boyhood, and among other interesting discoveries has found several productions of a charmingly bizarre German musical he'd actually seen way back when it premiered in…1992? Somewhere around there. And brushing up on his German--along with hoping that maybe the slow, soft rhythm of a few of the songs might get a certain, not-so-little someone to settle down while he's working--actually is helping him focus and not think so very much about Ianto.
He was pleased to find more than a few productions with pretty good subtitles, but he's got his phone far enough away that he can't look over to them, seeing if he can follow the plot still and how much he can remember to let him sing along here and there. He's not all that surprise to realize he can recall more of Sisi's words than the others, and the fact Pia's voice has definitely gotten better with age doesn't hurt and makes it pleasant to sing along, softly but clear, as he works.]
