A/N: My seventh (and final) drabble for this challenge. This one’s a bit of a stretch. Apologies!

Over lunch, Gwen regaled the team with the tale of the moth that had got into her flat last night.

“It was horrible, fluttering around the lights, bumping into walls. I was scared it would get caught in my hair! It took Rhys nearly half an hour to catch it and put it outside. I really hate moths, especially the big ones, and that was the biggest one I’d ever seen. I’m not joking; it was huge!

“Maybe it was a mam-moth,” Ianto teased.

Gwen just looked at him, frowning.

“What?”

Ianto rolled his eyes.

“Never mind, bad pun, sorry.”

Well I thought it was funny. Can't say I'm real surprised Gwen didn't get it. And I can so see her trying to use it as an excuse to get Jack over to her place, especially if Rhys hadn't been there, and you totally nailed what Jack's response would have been. He would, of course, find a way to ensure Ianto's secrecy on that "other" matter.

Well, Gwen's not Jack's responsibility when she's not at work. Why should he rescue her from a moth?

Thank you! I suspect Gwen'r reaction is funnier than the pun!
