" i'm not saying he had it coming , but the look on his face was definitely worth the wait . " a brash laugh , all edge and volume . nothing soft about the woman unless necessary , brazen and bold to a fault . yet there's a kindness to her gaze as it settles upon him ; owen harper . there could be softness here , if she tried . " though i don't make a habit of punching men in the face , i'll have you know ! just those who deserve it . "

" yeah , and you deserved it an all . " wide eyed , brows raised and head tipped towards him . she meant it , but unwavering smile takes the edge off her certainty . it was hard to be angry at owen all the time . man had a charm she never could understand or ignore . it lightened the mood somehow , even when tensions were running high . out of all her colleagues , he was the one she felt at ease chatting with . " still , it's not something i'm in the habit of doing . that's only twice , isn't it ? hardly a pattern . "

❛  WELL, you might not COOPER but I bloody will.... he deserved it. ❜ he raised his beer and then drank from it. torchwood could be all work and no play, and moments like this? where it was just laughter and light-hearted conversation. made it all worth it.    ❛ you must have forgotten the time you pushed me up against the wall for laughing about that Carys bird. You aint foolin' me sweetheart. ❜ He understood why she did it. He understood how it would have looked to an outsider. It was his way of coping with all of this. Of course he knew the pain that family would face if the gas had turned Carys into rat jam, his fiance had been turned into alien jam hadn't she? but Cooper didn't know about that, neither did Ianto. The secret part of his identity he hid away.
