Challenge: 617 - Sense at tw100
Notes: Torchwood doesn't always make sense. A double drabble.

Ianto tipped his head to the side and tried looking at it from a different angle. It didn't help. 'Just so we're clear, am I mad, or is that thing sitting upside down on the roof of the cell?'  

Owen smirked at his confused colleague. 'The world hasn't gone upside down if that's what you're worried about. Jack warned me it'd probably do that.'

Ianto frowned, studying the hairy red creature. It was mostly arms and legs, with a sad looking face. Sitting cross-legged on the ceiling with its frown now upside down didn't make it look any happier. 'Why?'

'He thought I might freak out.'

'No, I mean, why is it sitting on the roof?' The apropos question was probably how, rather than why. Being able to defy gravity like that would definitely come in handy, particularly in  reaching those really tall shelves in the archives without potentially killing himself.

Owen shrugged. 'Why does anything alien do anything? Nobody said it had to make sense.'

Ianto rubbed his face. Of course not. Sense was too much to ask for. He should be used to that by now.

'If you figure out how it does that let me know, yeah?'
