An alarmed squeak echoed through the almost deserted Hub, and sent Ianto running towards the sound, worried about what might have happened to Torchwood's new pet. The Fluff had only been with them for a week, and while it generally seemed sensible and quick to learn new things, that didn't mean it couldn't get itself into trouble. There were a lot of things in Torchwood Three's base that could potentially cause harm to an unwary, and very curious, Fluff.

Reaching Jack's office, Ianto was surprised and amused to find that despite not having any arms or legs, Nosy had somehow managed to scramble up onto Jack's desk, and was goggling anxiously over the edge of it at something on the floor. Following the Fluff's line of sight, Ianto quickly identified the problem: a spider was plodding gamely across the rough concrete floor. If Jack had been there, he would no doubt have been up on the desk with Nosy.

Hands on hips, Ianto shook his head. "Look at you! You're a great big Fluff, five metres long; how can you be scared of something so small?"

Nosy gave a faint, apologetic hum.

"Fine, I'll rescue you from the fearsome beast."
