I do adore it when you comment! It's always intelligent and well-formed and it makes me smile 'cause I get to talk! *laughs*
Ianto, unlike Gwen, knows that demanding answers is an EXCELLENT way to get Jack to dig in his heels. WORD. Like in Cyberman, when she's arguing with Jack that he wouldn't really shoot Ianto. I think that Jack himself didn't know what he would have done, but when she pushed he clammed up. (and yes, Jack's an introvert where it counts, completely and utterly agree!)
For this universe, just take it whenever either of them play idly with the necklace or whenever it's mentioned in passing and not explained, there's a deeper meaning behind it. For the most part they're always warm because they're both alive. When either one of them dies, the necklace goes cold. When Ianto and Jack play with their necklaces, they're thinking about each other -- or the other is getting up to something he really shouldn't (Ianto is going to be playing with his necklace FOREVER AND EVER UNTIL ETERNITY). Normal little flares, like in this one, is the little subconscious kick in the pants going shape up, prats!.
And Ianto is completely, utterly obsessive about his necklace. Jack's come to terms with it over 150 years, but it's Ianto's security blanket for the most part.
