Disclaimer- I do not have the pleasure of owning Torchwood. If I did, there would be less aliens and more beautiful Welsh vowels. As you can tell by the aliens, the BBC has the honour of owning the show.
Spoilers- All seasons, including CoE
Rating- T
Synopsis- A series of random short drabbles centred on our favourite Teaboy and his Captain

Deference
It took Ianto several long moments to think of a name for the knife that his boss held before him. It wasn't that he was struggling to think of something catchy- far from it! No, his brief silence had more to do with his shock that Owen Harper (sorry, Doctor Owen Harper) had deferred to him. Ianto was used to being ignored or acknowledged in a derogatory manner- deference and respect from Owen was something quite new. He tried not to let his astonishment show in his face as he spoke.
"Life knife."
His colleagues accepted the name with nods, and here and there the odd smile. It was curiously reassuring.
Ironically enough, it was Owen's deference, as much as anything, that gave Ianto the courage to proposition Jack the following day. Or so he assumed. Then again, it might just have been sleep deprivation.
