Summary: Owen is happy to have someone else investigate their latest rift item's origins and purpose. A double drabble.


Owen frowned at the object as Ianto handled it carefully with gloves. 'I'm not even going to say it.'

Ianto pulled a face at him, dropping it quickly into a snap-lock bag so he didn't have to touch it any longer. It was bad enough that its shape was suggestive, but it had also been vibrating when they'd found it. Fortunately it had stopped. Perhaps its batteries had died. Owen didn't want to think of any other explanation for it. Not being turned on by it was not the reason he wanted to attribute to it having turned off.

'You know what's going to happen when we bring this back, don't you?' Ianto said.

'You and Jack take it upon yourselves to test it out and confirm how it works?'

Ianto's look was disparaging to say the least. 'For the record, I don't let Jack come anywhere near me with anything we haven't bought online from a reputable earth-based retailer. Not since the electric alien cattle prod incident.'

It was Owen's turn to grimace. 'That is way more information than I needed to know.'

'What are you complaining about? You weren't the one who had it shoved up your arse!'
