Summary: Tosh always knew there was something watching her down in the archives. A double drabble.
Tosh: Are you down in the archives again?
Ianto: They don’t tidy and organise themselves. At least not in the last hundred and forty years. Can’t imagine them starting to do it now.
Tosh: Don’t you find it a little bit creepy down there? I always get the heebie-jeebies.
Ianto: Is that a medical condition? Should we get Owen to check that out?
Tosh: You know what I mean. Like there’s something or someone down there watching your every move.
Ianto: Yes, the dust bunnies are truly frightening. You should see the size of some of them. Always carry a big stick. Personally, I find a hockey stick a most reassuring and effective weapon.
Tosh: You don’t think the archives are haunted, do you?
Ianto: By Torchwood ghosts of missions past?
Tosh: Is that a yes?
Ianto: There’s no ghosts here, Tosh.
Tosh: Well, that’s a relief.
Ianto: But as for that sense of always being watched?
Tosh: Yeah?
Ianto: That’s just Jack. He’s got hidden CCTV everywhere. I think he gets a kick out of watching me work.
Tosh: That is a little bit creepy.
Ianto: Yes, it is. Birdwatching is ornithology but what’s the term for Ianto watching?
