Summary: Ianto's sister thinks he wastes a lot of money on clothes. A double drabble.

Rhiannon pawed through the wardrobe with a shocked expression. ‘Ianto, this is ridiculous.’

‘What is?’ he said, sitting on the edge of the bed, sorting out pajamas and underwear so he didn't have to stand up and put more pressure on his healing leg. He was slowly getting used to the idea of moving in temporarily with his sister so that she could look after him. He probably didn't need it, strictly speaking, but someone to cook and do the laundry would be nice.

‘Your wardrobe must have cost you a bloody fortune!’ she said, trying to count off just how many shirts and suits he had wedged in there. ‘Why would you spend so much? Don't they just get ruined?’

‘I don't get blown up every day, you know,’ he replied. ‘I can go whole days without damaging a suit.’

She gave him one of her tired, slightly permanently disappointed sighs. ‘That just sounds like a waste of money.’

‘Well, it's my money to waste, and I like looking good. It makes me feel good. Just because you buy everything from Primark.’

‘Oi!’ she scolded. ‘We're not all made of money. Didn't save you being nearly blown up, either.’
