Summary: Jack and Diefenbaker have a heart-to-heart
Author's Note: Written superfast for the Timestamp Meme as requested by rustydog who wanted an hour before The Furry Doorstop.  Un-beta'ed.  Due South/ Torchwood crossover.

Jack stood barefoot by the stove, starting breakfast while Benton slept. He’d slipped his trousers on, but the braces were hanging loose.  Reaching down to scratch Diefenbaker behind the ear, he turned to make sure the wolf could read his lips.

“You’re looking good, Dief.” 

Diefenbaker leaned into the scratch, wagging his tail.

“Benton seems to be doing well in Chicago.  He’s certainly happier than I’d expected him to be.  Although, I imagine he’s still getting into trouble now and again.”

The wolf huffed in response.

“But you’re looking out for him, right?”  Jack smiled.  “Course you are.  Good boy.”

Squeee! Lip reading. I'd almost forgotten. You've got the doggy/wolfy mannerisms down so well. (I realized that when I thought before even finishing, "::sniff:: I want a dog.") I could hear his tail thumping on the floor.

Mmmm. Jack barefoot, cooking breakfast with his braces hanging loose. Now that is hot.

I love it! Thank you!

Ooh, I was hoping somebody'd ask for this one. I love Jack just chatting away with Dief.

Oh, lovely. Especially barefoot and braces-hanging-down Jack.

I'd forgotten the deafness thing too (it's been a long time) but that is just so Jack to remember and talk to him like that. :-)

Figures Jack & Dief would be ganging up on Benton behind his back--entirely for his own good, of course.

Awww! Jack and Dief. Who should FIGHT CRIME. I echo the sentiment that barefoot Jack is hott. :-)

Thanks for linking these to ds_noticeboard. I wish I had Captain Jack cooking breakfast for me. *g*

My dog does that huff - he has a remarkably deep voice for a small chap ;-)

Nice picture. Very nice picture, indeed.

Not even Dief can resist the Captain.
