Summary: Jack is having trouble keeping up with their newest Torchwood team member. A double drabble.

Jack flopped back on the sofa with an exhausted sigh. Ianto just rolled his eyes at Jack as he passed by with his stack of completed reports, watching Jack manually heave his feet up onto the coffee table before lying back again.

'Tough day, cariad?' he teased.

'You have no idea,' Jack replied. 'My feet are absolutely killing me. We must have walked about fifteen miles today. Even my blisters have blisters.'

'Best not take your boots off in that case,' Ianto said. He could only imagine how bad those feet would smell.

Ianto cast his gaze around the hub before finally spotting a lump of black fur hiding under Tosh's desk. 'Ah, here you are,' he said, poking his head underneath the desk. 'Hero of the hour.' The black labrador got up and tried to lick at his face. 'Did you and Jack have fun tracking down all those bits of spaceship?' It turned out their pet had quite the nose for sniffing out all things alien. It might have taken weeks to find all the pieces of broken up shuttle otherwise.

Ianto smirked. 'I don't see Buddy complaining, Jack.'

'Yeah, well he's used to working like a dog.'
