torchwood100Summary: Owen has had a whoopsie moment. A double drabble.
‘Owen!’ Jack called out from the top of the spiral staircase. It was only the two of them here so there was no point in wasting courtesy when yelling would do the job.
‘What?’
‘Were you using that Mavavallien power bank as a coffee warmer again?’
‘Yeah. So?’
Jack leaned further out over the railing. ‘So that's not what it's supposed to be used for.’
Owen heaved a sigh. ‘It's coaster sized and emits a nice amount of warmth that's perfect for keeping a cup of coffee hot. And we don't have any technology that we can connect it to for use as a power bank anyway.’
‘Well you might want to rethink the portable coffee warmer idea as well since it's just burned a hole right through the boardroom table.’
Owen raced up the stairs to see for himself the freshly black charred ring that went all the way through three inches of solid beech. ‘Bollocks.’
‘Ianto's going to kill you,’ Jack said.
‘Maybe we could super glue a coaster over it.’
Jack smirked. ‘Or maybe we could travel back in time so you'll have plenty of time to make your funeral arrangements.’
‘Oh, just shut up,’ Owen moaned.
