Challenge: 476 - Thirst at tw100
Notes: Jack and Owen have more in common than they think.

'I don't understand you, Harkness,' Owen said, watching him over his beer as his boss sat there nursing a glass of water. 'A whole bar full of options and you choose water.'

'I like to keep hydrated,' he replied.

'So do I,' Owen said, raising his glass.

Jack smiled at him over the top of his own glass. 'The twenty first century is when everything changes, Owen. You never know when you're next chance to stop and drink might be. You gotta be ready.'

'Exactly,' he said, taking another long draught. 'Saving the world from impending doom is thirsty work.'

Alcohol isn't exactly known for its hydration properties - as a Doctor, Owen should know better. At least Jack has the sense to stay sober most of the time.
