Gwen watched as Tosh left Jack's office and headed into the infirmary. She could tell that Jack was angrier with Owen than he was with Tosh because Owen hadn't left Jack's office yet.
Crystal was playing with a piece of her hair, twirling it around.
"That's not good for your hair," Gwen said.
"It's my hair," Jack's daughter said.
"It's still not good for it. You have nice hair, don't ruin it by twisting it all up."
Crystal continued to twist her dark hair around her finger. After a moment she started to giggle.
"What's so funny?" Gwen asked.
"Nothing. If I told you, it would spoil it."
Ianto came out of the infirmary. "She's probably thinking of doing the 'there's a hair in my pizza' thing later."
"Ianto! You ruined it!" Crystal cried.
"I guess that's too bad. I really don't think your dad will appreciate that particular joke today. I'm getting the impression that you're in big trouble."
"My trouble is my business. Did you know that even burgomasters were accused of witchcraft in Germany? It was pretty bad. There was this one guy, Junius something who got a letter smuggled to his daughter, telling her that he was forced to confess to witchcraft, even though he hadn't done anything?"
"You are just like Jack with history. I am not getting into a conversation about witchcraft trials with you."
Crystal looked at Gwen. Gwen shook her head. "Maybe the Doctor will want to talk about it," she pouted. "There was this guy, Montague Summers and he-"
"No," Ianto said. "You will tie witchcraft trials into it."
"I don't have any of my sisters to talk to about it. I'm doing a project on witchcraft trials at school. Sophie was letting me borrow some of her books."
Ianto put a hand over her mouth. "I do not want to hear one word about witchcraft trials, executions, etc. One more word and I'll throw you into your dad's office."
"Did you take cranky pills today or something?"
Ianto frowned at her. "That is rude, young lady!"
Tosh came out of the infirmary. "Ianto, can you tell Jack that I need Owen in here? I'll probably need the Doctor too. Roxanne's almost ready to have one of the babies."
Ianto nodded and went to Jack's office. He opened the door without knocking. "Tosh needs Owen in the infirmary. Roxanne's almost ready to pop."
Owen was quick to get out of Jack's office. He ran straight into the infirmary. The Doctor followed him, forgetting that he had been enjoying seeing Owen getting yelled at by Jack.
"You couldn't knock?" Jack asked, coming out of his office.
"Tosh wanted Owen right away."
Tosh had already disappeared into the infirmary again.
Jack started towards the infirmary after Owen and the Doctor.
"Jack," Ianto began, "can you do something about your child? She's been trying to get me and Gwen involved in a conversation about witchcraft trials."
"You can't just let her ramble on about it? I'm a little busy."
"It's making me feel sick," Ianto whispered.
"Oh. I get it now. Crystal, talk to Gwen about it instead. Ianto's going to the kitchen and you can't go with him."
"I'm not talking to her about it either!" Gwen protested.
"You don't have to talk. All you have to do is just sit there and let her talk until she runs out of information to spew out. And if you talk, make sure you know what you're talking about because she knows a lot about the subject." Jack went into the infirmary while Ianto gratefully went to the kitchen. Gwen was left with no choice but to let Crystal tell her all about witchcraft trials.
