Summary: Owen has some difficult patients. A double drabble.


'That's it! I give up!' Owen declared loudly as he stomped across the hub. His lab coat looked bedraggled and wet in patches, whilst others, and most of that rest of him, was covered in bits of straw. 'If that stupid bird gets the plague then don't come crying to me.'

Gwen rolled her eyes at Ianto who returned the gaze with a long-suffering look that came from dealing with Owen when he was in a mood. 'Another patient complaining about your bedside manner, Owen?'

He scowled at her. 'That thing is bloody impossible to get near. You try going in there to take blood samples. I'm lucky to get out of there without any broken bones.'

Myfanwy peered over the edge of her nest and squawked angrily at Owen, flapping her wings for good measure to make sure he got that message that he wasn't welcome.

'You too with the bells on!' Owen shouted back.

'Owen!' Jack called out. 'Have you finished getting Myf's samples?'

'No. Bloody bird tried to kill me.'

'Not successfully,' Jack observed. 'So, hurry it up. We've got a new case and I want it done before we head out.'

Owen grumbled under his breath. 'Great.'

Suck it up, Owen. If you were nicer to Myf she might be more tolerant.
