Summary: Gwen finds Jack's metabolism astonishing. A double drabble.
Gwen couldn't tell if her mouth was hanging open, though it felt like it surely must be. She'd never seen anything eat the way Jack did, not even when Owen had taken her out to capture a thing called a hoix which, he explained, ate anything and everything and in such vast quantities that it put weevils to shame.
'How do you keep up with that?' she asked Ianto, who was like her, still working on pizza slice number two. She was fairly sure Jack was on number five but if she'd lost track it could very well be number six. 'That man of yours has hollow legs, I swear.'
He nibbled and then used the napkin to wipe his mouth. I find that the solution is not to even try keeping up. Once you accept that Jack has the metabolism of a fifteen year old, you just accept that any shopping trip is going to cost a fortune.'
Jack moved from pizza to the box of donuts even as they spoke, taking a large custard filled one and biting deep into the golden goo.
'He says this is nothing compared to that time he was pregnant. God help us.'
