Summary: Torchwood aren’t always cheerful and up.

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

Life had its ups and downs for everyone at Torchwood, no one knew that better than Jack. Some days were just… gloomy. They’d had a tough week and now nothing was going on to distract them from thinking about it.

Wandering through the Hub, hands in pockets and a frown on his face, Jack noticed something and stopped dead, staring.

“Everything alright, Jack?”

He glanced around to see Ianto at his elbow.

“I think Nosy’s feeling kinda blue.”

“What makes you say that?”

Jack pointed at the distinctly blue coloured Fluff slumped in a corner.

“Oh. Yep, Nosy’s blue alright!”

Wait - what - can Nosy do that or has Meriel got into the paint again ?

Nosy can change colour at will, though this was more an involuntary response to the all-pervading gloominess in the Hub. Being empathic has its downsides.

It started out russet with green patches - camouflage among the bracken before it was found. It turned green so it wouldn't get stepped on in the Hub, turned red for Red Nose(y) day, and now it's got the blues.

Thank you!
