torchwood100Summary: Owen is less than enthralled by Torchwoods newest addition. A double drabble.
Owen let out a groan as he came to check on the small plastic tank housing their latest find which, quite frankly, he’d be glad to hand over to someone else. ‘Would someone please take this ugly slug thing away?’ he called out. ‘It’s pooping everywhere and I draw the line at having to clean out alien poo.’
Ianto was the only one who heard him and didn’t ignore him, shoes clicking on the concrete steps down to the bottom of the medical bay to come and inspect the situation. That was good. If anyone was in charge of cleaning up after things around here, it was the Teaboy.
Ianto took one look at the piles of translucent brown and frowned at Owen. ‘Poo-pay,’ he said.
‘Come again?’
‘It’s not poo, it’s pupae. As in eggs, Owen,’ he repeated, clarifying what he’d said. ‘Jack said there was a possibility it was a female, though he couldn't be sure.’
‘I thought Jack was the expert on sex,’ Owen quipped, earning an eye roll and a smirk. ‘So, we can expect more of these ugly things?’
‘Jack says they actually make good pets.’
‘Yeah, I can’t wait to take mine to Crufts.’
