Words
In chains on the Valiant, Jack dreamed of hot pizza, hot showers, hot sex. He missed flowers; newspapers; the whisper of the Torchwood fountain. He missed his Team, for all the trouble they caused. Ianto's wordplay, Gwen's laugh, Tosh's numbers. Owen's misbehaviour.
He missed their talk.
The Valiant presented hushed voices, barked commands, respectful murmurs. Francine and Tish couldn't joke with him even if they wanted to. They were frightened. He tried to cheer them up, but he was somewhat handicapped.
Snarky banter, clever banter, crisp banter, had come so free and easy at Torchwood.
Jack was starved for banter.
