Beginning Notes: Here is a strange coincidence; Welsh is the third in the language selection list of LibreOffice. The first two are expected; English (Aus) and English (USA).
I love Janto I imagined Owen's lectures to be like those conversations with that person who you get stuck next to on a plane. As in; "I find this subject absolutely interesting and I am going to bore you with every minute detail until the plane lands". I don't think that he would be gross for being gross sake (at least in this situation, he wait for everyone to be eating for the disgusting stuff); he wouldn't hold back on any of the details but he wouldn't be unnecessarily descriptive, it would be utterly boring and clinical.
badly-knitted I imagine Tosh's lectures to be a bit like the technobabble expositions in Star Trek and everyone else is just nodding at the right intervals, everyone is probably thinking; "I have no idea what your talking about but I understand the gist of it, I think" with perhaps only Jack understanding what she is going on about. For the most part I think that everyone is more polite when Tosh lectures than when Owen does it, because Jack gets a little cranky when Tosh is interrupted. Jack would probably think along the lines of; "look at her, she's alive, she's glowing, this is what she was born for, I'm so glad I got her out of that UNIT cell, the scientists of my time would have loved her".

Ianto Jones was quickly making his usual coffee round for Torchwood. A Mocha for Toshiko, a sweet Flat White for Suzie, an unsweet Long Black for Owen and finally a double sweet cup of "rocket fuel"** for Jack.*
A squawk overhead got his attention, he lifted his head up to watch as Myfanwy settled himself into his nest. It reminded him that he needed to get some more nesting material before he cleaned up the nest. A prehistoric pinionist, a pet that every 5 year old wants and all he can think about is cleaning up after it.
"Oi Teaboy, my coffee, sometime today."
His endless list of tasks never ended and everybody has no qualms about adding more work upon his shoulders. Some days he was tired, so damn tired.

* I actually gave more thought than I probably should have to the various coffee drinks that Team Torchwood have. For the record I think that Gwen drinks Lattes or Cappuccinos depending on her mood (probably can't tell the difference between them). Mochas for Tosh because I think she would love the sweet bitterness of that drink. Long Black (although not drunk typically in Britain; it is essentially a reversed Caffe Americano) for Owen because I see him getting through med school subsiding on strong instant coffee without milk or sugar and it just becoming the coffee he drinks. Flat White is a drink from Australia/New Zealand, how Suzie developed a taste for it is just another mystery of Suzie Costello. "Rocket fuel" is just a really, really strong coffee I imagine that Jack has stronger than currently normal senses and needs really strong flavours so that he isn't tasting the chemicals and preservatives.
** I came across a story in the NCIS fandom that had a joke recipe for the "Cowboy" coffee that Gibbs drinks. It goes like this; equal parts coffee and water, boil for an hour, throw a horseshoe in it, if the horseshoe sinks throw in more coffee. I kind of imagine this being the type of coffee Jack drinks.
