Summary: Jack is still undecided over Ianto's latest commercial venture. A double drabble.

Jack inspected the website with a frown. It was a little bit wacky and weird, but he supposed he had to give it points for ambition. ‘I'm not sure how to feel about this,’ he finally said, passing uncertain judgement on it.

‘The website as a concept or the actual design of it?’ Ianto asked, disappointed that Jack wasn't nearly as enthusiastic about it as he imagined.

‘Oh, don't get me wrong, the website looks great, it's just… socks?’

‘Well… we did end up with a lot of them, and I figured why deviate from something we know our alien fabricator can make.’

‘You're not exactly going to make a fortune selling socks, Ianto. Why not replicate something with a bigger price tag or at least a better margin?’

‘We're Torchwood, Jack. I don't think I've got time for that and to run an international crazy sock empire. Or any other empire, for that matter. I figured this was a good way to be rid of the four thousand socks we already have thanks to Owen, and if there's demand for them, we can always make more. It just felt awkward to try and donate the whole lot to charity.’
