Summary: There’s a thief in the Hub…
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Torchwood’s Christmas buffet was a thing of beauty, the entire team having pulled together, preparing and cooking the feast. Every kind of Christmas food imaginable was arrayed across tables that practically groaned under the weight.
Team and guests were in festive mood, filling plates and glasses, laughing and chatting merrily, until Owen’s indignant voice silenced them.
“’Ere, who pinched the twiglets?”
Everyone looked at each other until a suspicious scrunching sound was heard from under the tables. Ianto lifted the cloth.
“Think I’ve found the culprit.”
There was Nosy, its snout buried in the twiglet dish.
“Bloody typical,” Owen grumbled.
The End

They look so cute, a nice twist on the traditional meringue. :-)

Date: 2012-12-13 10:49 pm (UTC)Don't worry though, Ianto made sure to buy several bags of them. He'll fetch a fresh bag for Owen and top up Nosy's dish.
Anyway, Nosy's part of the team, they should have expected it to join in the feast and help itself to whatever it fancied, just like everybody else.
Thank you

Date: 2012-12-13 11:14 pm (UTC)Nosy is sneaky, and apparently it has decided that twiglets are Nosy-food.
Thank you.

Thank you, glad you liked the drabble!

Date: 2012-12-13 11:54 pm (UTC)At least they won't make it hyperactive the way the coffee beans did in Out Of Coffee, so Ianto doesn't mind buying extra twiglets.
One day, I'll have to write about Nosy on a sugar-high!
Thank you.

Date: 2012-12-14 02:17 pm (UTC)I didn't know what twiglets were either, but now that I do, I'd sure like to try them. Just not the ones that have been Nosed!

Date: 2012-12-14 04:26 pm (UTC)Owen won't stay mad once Ianto gives him a fresh bag of twiglets. After all, Nosy disn't know it was doing anything wrong. Jack told everyone to help themselves, so Nosy did. It didn't realise it wasn't supposed to take the whole dish of twiglets!
Thank you =)
