Ianto's own frantic, concerned looks of oh my god, Doctor, oh my god, please stop while you're ahead fall on blind eyes, apparently. Even he knows what a terrible idea it is to try to reason with children (even one as clever as Callie). Reason isn't going to replace her favorite clothes.
He falters for a moment when the Doctor nopes out of his attempt at comfort. Great, now it's his turn. Maybe he'll just try a few angles and see what sticks. "And the TARDIS - the other TARDIS - she'll keep all of your things safe." That had always given him comfort, knowing that even if he wasn't on the TARDIS, some part of him was still whizzing about time and space. "I think if we ask this one nicely she can recreate your bedroom. And your clothes." And everything else, well, it depends on how charitable the TARDIS is feeling.
Here, have a... a reassuring shoulder pat. "We'll replace what we can and we'll always remember what we can't." Ianto smiles and touches Callie's cheek. What a terribly somber memorial for some fanfictions. "What about tea and then the wardrobe room? Yeah?" The tea is really important.
