The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

"You really are teaching Nosy Welsh?" Jack was astonished; he hadn't expected Ianto to admit it.

Ianto just shrugged. "Why not? It likes learning new things."

"Yeah, but… Shouldn't you be teaching it English instead of a foreign language?"

That earned Jack a withering look.

"First of all, we're in Wales, so technically, Welsh is not a foreign language here, it's our native language. Secondly, Nosy is an alien from another planet; it only speaks Fluff. As far as it's concerned, all earth languages could be considered foreign, and that includes English."

Jack winced at Ianto's disapproving tone. "Good point."
