Language lessons. Not something that they had expected the aliens to ask. Not really something Jack would think they needed since they had translator chips in their heads but the Doctor had said that these species liked to learn as much as they could and it would be a while before their spaceship was repaired.
Jack wouldn't be as bothered by this- UNIT was dealing with it anyway- if it wasn't for Ianto volunteering to help. He missed him and had hoped that they would be spending the downtime Torchwood was having together.
He won't be gone all day, Jack thought. He hoped that was true this time, one of those times Ianto had ended up having to help out when UNIT had to deal with a sudden invasion.
Later Ianto met up with Jack for lunch. "How are the language lessons going?" Jack asked.
"Their doing remarkable well with Welsh."
