Summary: Myf is causing chaos being stuck in the hub. A double drabble.

The screeching sound only served to worsen Owen's growing headache. He gave up trying to write up the last if his autopsy bites and instead leaned his elbows on the desk, rubbing his temples. Another screech caused him to growl in frustration.

'Could someone please shut that bloody bird up?' Honestly, who thought keeping a dinosaur for a pet was a good idea?

Ianto looked equally frustrated, but he directed some of his at Owen instead. 'She's just restless being cooped up in here all day long. I don't know what you want me to do about it. It's been blizzard conditions out there for nearly a week. She's just desperate to get some time outside.'

'If she knows what's good for her, she'll stay inside and be happy about it.' He was sick of freezing his balls off coming and going all day long. He actually envied Ianto and Myf getting to stay indoors all of the time. Only an idiot would willingly go out there.

'Maybe if she had some more stimulation,' Ianto suggested.

'Such as?'

'Someone to play with. I mean, other than me.'

'If I say yes, does that get me out of my other work?'

No, Owen, it just means you get an extra job, but you should do it anyway.
