Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 408 - Copper
Notes: Ianto takes up numismatics for reasons unknown

Ianto thrust the note in Jack's face.

'I need to break a twenty. Give me every spare penny you have. Coppers are preferable.'

Jack frowned, confused. 'But you hate loose change.'

'And you horde the stuff. I keep finding them everywhere. Pockets, drawers, underneath mugs...'

'Coins come in handy,' Jack countered.

'Agreed. That's why I'm asking for them now. I'm willing to reimburse you.'

'But why?'

'Turns out that magenta parakeet we recovered last night considers them haute cuisine. I'd prefer we make sure she's fed before she discovers the miles of copper cabling keeping the lights on around here.'

One man's loose change is one alien parakeet's fine dining... I guess it takes all kinds to make a universe!
