Title: Reward for good behaviour
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Suzie, Jack, Owen, Myfanwy
Rating: PG
Challenge: 585 - Habit at tw100
Notes: Suzie's latest assignment is tougher than she thought. A double drabble.

'No!' Suzie scolded, pulling her hand away as the prehistoric creature made to snap at it again. 'No!' she repeated, her face twisting into a scowl.

'Having fun out here?' Jack asked, unable to keep the smirk from his face as he leaned against his doorway.

'No, I'm not,' Suzie pouted. 'This stupid creature is totally untrainable,' she said, gesturing at Myfanwy. 'I don't know why you thought this should be my job.'

'You trained Owen, didn't you?'

'I heard that!' came Owen's voice from down below in the medical bay.

'At least Owen doesn't leave droppings the size of dinner plates everywhere,' Suzie complained.

Jack chuckled. 'Thank goddesses for that.' He watched as Myfanwy tried to steal Suzie's jacket from the back of her chair so she could add it to her nest. Suzie would be pissed off if that happened. 'You know, they say the trick to training animals is to reward good habits.'

'Reward it with what?' Suzie huffed. 'It eats everything that isn't nailed down and then some.'

'Ianto suggests dark chocolate.'

'That's insane. Dinosaurs don't eat chocolate.'

Jack shrugged. 'Or you can just keep going with what you're doing. It seems to be working out well.'

I think Suzie needs training first, lol! Maybe Ianto should take over with Myf.
