Drabble: Rebuked

Title: Rebuked

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Nosy.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 342: Foreign Language at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack lands himself in Nosy’s bad books.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

Despite living in Cardiff for the best part of a century, Jack had never really got to grips with the language. However, even though he failed at speaking it, he did understand a fair few words.

It had been a relatively quiet day, and with nothing better to do, Jack was trying to juggle. He was doing quite well until he fumbled a catch and the balls went everywhere, knocking over the wooden block tower Nosy had been building.

Annoyed, Nosy glared at Jack and pointedly lined up six blocks.

Jack frowned. “Ianto, have you been teaching Nosy Welsh?”

Thank you! I couldn't resist letting Nosy put Jack in his place!

wow, well done Nosy!

[bk_forever]

Nosy is a very smart Fluff! (And yes, Ianto HAS been teaching it!)

Thank you!

hee hee I can imagine Jacks face, clever little Nozy

[bk_forever]

Jack was rather taken aback at being insulted in Welsh by his Fluff, lol!

Nosy is smarter than it looks!

Thank you.

Hahaha - don't tell Jack that's the only Welsh word Nosy knows :)

[bk_forever]

Nosy is learning, it'll know more words soon, I'm sure. LOL!

Thank you!

LOL! Oh yes, this is brilliant. Of course though Nosy would only know the insults, and personally I could actually see Owen teaching it and in Welsh in order for everyone to assume it was Ianto who'd done it.

[bk_forever]

Owen's useless with Welsh, I might write a drabble about that. Ianto would misinform Owen about what the Welsh words mean.

I see Ianto as teaching Nosy to be bilingual, though of course insults are the most important form of communication ;)

Thank you!

Ha-ha! Nosy calls it as it sees it! ;D

[bk_forever]

And is correct too!

Thank you!

Hehe.
I love how Jack hasn't got the hang of Welsh after all these years but Nosy is learning fast :-)

[bk_forever]

Nosy is more motivated, I think.

Thank you!

I can see the head of Nosy not happy with Jack like a parent scolding their child!
LOL
Yep Nosy is smart.

[bk_forever]

Very smart. Thank you!
