[Gina's not here for presents--she's here to talk business with the boss. Because...business. And because Jack, but that's okay.]

Hello, handsome.

[iwasforgiven]

[He wasn't handing out much but it is the thought that counts.]

Hello, Gina. How's everything going?

[displacementor.livejournal.com]

Not bad. Did you want to wait until after the holiday to talk business?

[iwasforgiven]

Its okay, I'm just going along with the flow but we can still talk business.

Sir, I'd like to work for Torchwood. I have balanced working for a government agency and a food service job in the past, to good effect until the restaurant was burned down.

[Oh, she knows Ianto's handled it, but still--there's something important in the gesture of volunteering. She volunteered for VALKYRIE, offered herself to Saint.]

[iwasforgiven]

Ianto and I discussed about opening Torchwood's doors to new members. He's got a point that we can always use the help.

[He listens to her and he nods his head about her experience in handling government or paramilitary groups like Torchwood.]

I'm going to hope to reassure you that the cafe won't burn down. Are there any questions you want to ask me about Torchwood?

[displacementor.livejournal.com]

Yes: what do you stand for, and what do you need me to do?

[She is serious, standing straight, strictly at attention, attentive, tending toward a certain tension.]

(ooc: I'm sorry. That came out of nowhere.)

Jack. I don't celebrate Christmas.

[iwasforgiven]

Then consider it a middle of Hanukkah gift.

[She looked down at the box in her hands and then back up at him, slowly she shook her head and handed it back to him] Thank you but..I-I don't... [She's just going to move close, hide her face in his chest and cry. She knows that Christmas is supposed to be a happy day for people, but this time of year just makes her miss home even more.]

[iwasforgiven]

[He'll put that with her belongings later along with a couple other gifts Alisa and Ianto helped to pick out..] We're not going to push anything on you but we didn't want you to feel left out either. [The hug and the fact she's crying takes him by surprise as he places his arm around her. ]

[Her shoulders are shaking as she hides her face against his chest. It seems that they all sometimes forget just how young and alone she really is. Rachel had kept herself to herself, they'd even not known she'd turned 18 almost a week ago. She knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't help but look to Jack like a father figure, but he wasn't one really, just the closest thing she had]

F-first b-birthday and Hanukkah w-without my dads and my friends back home [she explained before hugging him tighter]

[iwasforgiven]

[He had a teenage daughter even though the two were not speaking at this point and he just goes to say little and let Rachel rest her head against his chest. Jack keeps his arms around her and he tries to be comforting.

Jack had known and made some effort to put a card out for her with a small gift. He's a father figure to many and Jack has adapted well to this roll.]

You've got a lot of friends here Rachel. I know this isn't the same trust me. I know what its like to be so far away from those you love.
