Summary: Owen has issue with the amount of noise Ianto makes.

'Would you like a fresh coffee?' Ianto asked.

Owen nearly jumped out of his chair, grabbing his chest. 'Jesus Christ, Ianto! Are to trying to scare me to death?'

'No.'

'Then stop slinking around the place,' Owen complained.

'I do not slink,' Ianto replied, sounding thoroughly offended at the suggestion. It sounded dirty and like trickery, as if he was up to no good.

'Then what would you call it? Because one minute I see you in Jack’s office, then you’re in the kitchen, then you’re nowhere to be seen, and the next thing I know you’re right there behind me.'

'So?'

'So, it’s creeping me out. It’s not normal. Normal people make noise when they move around.'

'So, you’d rather I go stomping around like Jack, making a hell of a noise, so much so that you can’t even think straight?'

'Yes, actually I do. Better than sneaking around in complete silence like some cat burglar.'

'Who's been cat burgled?' Jack asked, also managing to appear seemingly from nowhere.

'Are you people trying to give me a heat attack?' Owen grumbled. 'We should put bells on you.'

'What's his problem?' Jack said, looking at Ianto for an answer.

'Apparently I slink around the hub and don't make enough noise to properly announce my presence.'

'Oh, really? Well, maybe Owen shoulda been here last night, then. Trust me, Ianto made plenty of noise when I had him bent over your desk desk last night, Owen. A real screamer. It was hot.'

'Get out!' Owen yelled. He'd heard quite enough of Jack to last him a lifetime.
