Notes: Owen finds Hywel's first attempts at flight highly amusing. A double drabble.

Owen held a hand up to his face, attempting to hide the snort that escaped his lips as he watched his latest patient scrabbling around on his autopsy table. The miniature pterodactyl was hopelessly slipping and sliding across the surface as it attempted to move towards the edge.

'Oh, here we go,' Owen announced as it finally reached the edge, flapping its wings excitedly as it made to leap from the edge. There was a squeak and a lot of commotion before a tiny slapping sound announced it had reached the floor. Owen burst out laughing, unable to contain himself.

Ianto scowled as he reached down to scoop up the tiny creature, setting him back on the table.

'That was priceless,' Owen said, wiping away tears. 'I can't wait for a replay. And you think he'd going to learn to fly. He can't even move across the table without falling over. Clumsy little bugger.'

'He's still just a baby,' Ianto said, coming to his defence. 'At least from this height he can't hurt himself too much.'

'Good luck with that.'

'I'd like to see you try,' Ianto sniped. 'Go jump off the Millennium Centre roof and see how you fare.'

Give Hywel a break, Owen! Flying isn't easy and Pteranodons don't have a the advantage birds have with all their nifty feathers.

Owen rarely worries about the old adage of "those in glass houses..."
