A/N: Double drabble.
Bundled up in multiple layers, Ianto stared into the pool at the base of the water tower. Well, is should have been a pool, and at any other time, it would have been, but right now it was a sheet of ice.
“If this weather keeps up and we don’t get the heating fixed soon, we’re going to have our own indoor ice rink,” he told Jack gloomily. “And that’s without taking into account what will happen if the pipes freeze and burst. We’ll really be in trouble if that happens.”
“I though the pipes were lagged against the cold.” Jack leaned his forearms against the railings, then hurriedly straightened up again as one bare wrist brushed against the icy metal.
“They are, where possible, but some are inaccessible, which isn’t much of a problem as long as we have heat to keep everything from freezing, but right now… We’re not equipped to survive an ice age.”
“We can’t do much until Mickey gets back with the spare parts and fuel for the generator,” Jack pointed out.
“We may freeze to death at this rate.” Ianto watched Nosy slink blithely past. “Times like this, I wish I was a Fluff.”
The End
