Title: More than words
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Ianto, Jack, TW Team
Rating: G
Challenge: 337 - Unloved prompts, 172 - Untranslatable
Notes: none

In all his years stationed in Cardiff, Jack had stoutly refused to learn Welsh.

Sure he knew the odd word, mainly from roadsigns, but he'd gotten by just fine.

Ianto had tried and failed, so when they finally scored a weekend away, he took them to a remote part of North Wales where English was nonexistent

Adding insult to injury, he refused to converse with Jack in English during their stay.

Somewhat miffed, Jack threatened to withhold sex if Ianto continued to withhold English.

Jack didn't need a translation to know that Ianto's reply suggested Jack would cave in first.

Hehe, what's Welsh for 'doesn't stand a chance'?

Yeah, Jack should learn to make better threats, or at least ones where he's capable of holding up his end of the bargain!
