Summary: Owen has his concerns over lunch. A double drabble.

‘What is this?’ Owen said, poking suspiciously at the edges of the pizza lying in its box.

‘Can you not poke the food before you've washed your hands?’ Ianto implored, scrunching up his face at the sight of Owen prodding lunch with a gloved finger that had, not two hours ago, been dissecting a badger killed by alien fleas.

‘My question stands,’ Owen replied. ‘What is this?’

Ianto rolled his eyes. ‘If it looks like a pizza and smells like a pizza…’

‘It's got green stuff on it.’

‘It's Mediterranean roasted vegetables. I thought it would be nice to branch out a little from our usual meat feast. They do make other toppings after all.’

‘No coleslaw either?’

‘There's a green salad.’

Owen gave him a disparaging look. ‘This is just because Jack said you need to eat more vegetables, isn't it?’

‘If I have to, then everyone else should too. It's not like you lot are in training for the marathon, is it?’

‘This sucks,’ Owen grumbled, frowning at the lunchtime offering.

‘Yeah, it does,’ Ianto agreed. ‘But I bought a bottle of chilli flakes to mask the taste, so not all is lost.’

Owen grinned. ‘Now you're talking.’
