Summary: Gwen is trying to get Owen to check on Ianto. A double drabble.


Gwen: Are you done with that autopsy yet?

Owen: You seriously just asked me that when you’re perfectly capable of simply looking over your shoulder to see for yourself? What kind of investigative skills are those, PC Cooper?

Gwen: I just wanted to know if you’ve gone to check on Ianto, or were about to.

Owen: Why? Has he sprouted alien antennae?

Gwen: Don’t be stupid. I only mean, he’s been up in that tourist office for days now. He only comes down to make the coffee and then disappears again.

Owen: Well, maybe it’ll give him time to think about how much he screwed us over.

Gwen: That’s not fair. You know he didn’t mean any of it to happen.

Owen: Didn’t stop it happening, though, did it?

Gwen: He’s had a month’s suspension. Don’t you think we ought to let him know he’s forgiven?

Owen: He’s the one purposefully ignoring us. If he wants to sit up there and sulk whilst sorting out pamphlets, I say let him.

Gwen: Are you holding a grudge or is that your medical opinion?

Owen: Actually, it is. When you’ve seen as many PTSD sufferers as I have, then you can pass judgement.

Owen is no doubt right, in his tactless way.
