Rating: PG
Challenge: 463 - Attract at tw100
Notes: Jack thinks he's solved their fussy eater problem. A double drabble.

Ianto nearly retched when Jack brought the brown liquid concoction towards him.

'Dear God, what is that?' he said, holding a hand over his nose.

'The solution to our problem.'

'Which one would that be?' Ianto asked, mentally running through the long list in his head.

'The one to get your newest pet to eat her food.'

'I'm working on it,' Ianto protested. He might have only been here a short time, but he wasn't about to give up on any challenge his new job threw at him. She was just homesick, that was all. She might have disliked Owen, and ignored Suzie and Tosh, but she liked Ianto. That none of his pleading and begging her to eat had worked so far was just a bump in the road. She'd get hungry and come around eventually, he was sure of it.

Jack sighed and looked at him in askance. 'Can you just accept my help? Would that kill you?'

It might, he thought. 'So, what is that?'

'Something I cooked up myself. Try putting it on her food. It should make it seem more attractive.'

'That remains to be seen.'

'Trust me. One man's disgust, is another dinosaurs delicious.'
