My first drabble for Challenge 424: Hunger at tw100.

The vortex energy that heals me needs raw materials to work with, they have to come from somewhere,” Jack reasoned. “If I don’t eat enough it takes me longer to recover when I’m injured or killed, and leaves me feeling drained.”
“Makes sense I suppose,” Ianto admitted, “but you know what this means?”
