Summary: An uninvited guest has left an impression on Ianto's new backyard. A double drabble.

As Ianto came to stand by the windows that looked out onto the porch, his arm and the coffee mug it was holding came to a halt just inches from his lips as something else caught his attention entirely. 'How?' he cried. 'Just... How?'

Jack's own hand paused halfway to his mouth, cornflakes dribbling from his spoon as he studied his lover. 'How what?'

Ianto pointed out through the window. 'Two weeks,' he said. 'Two weeks we've been here, and yes, I know the garden needs work-'

'A lot of work,' Jack interjected.

'Alright, a lot of work, but now it needs even more.'

'Why's that?'

'A certain pterodactyl seems to have found our new address and spent last night making a mess of it.'

Jack wandered over. 'How do you know it was her?'

'No stray dog leaves a deposit that big,' he replied. 'Trust me, I know dinosaur poop when I see it. I was hoping we could keep the Torchwood thing secret for at least a few months.'

Jack snorted. 'Not much chance of that with the SUV parked in the drive where everyone can see it.'

'Fair point. I guess the garden could use some fertiliser.'

Just be sure the Dino DoDo is well rotted down before using it on your plants, Ianto ;)
