[She's not prepared for that question. At least the "when/where" is clearly practiced.]
[There's a blink and hesitation.]
[Politeness?]
[Nah.]
[She closes her eyes, and pinches between them.] I run Torchwood in Everglade. Until he left last month, Jack was my partner. You being new means I'm not completely failing in my job not to recognize you, but I didn't exactly take over all his work too, and I still need to up my game. [Apologetic grin.] Sorry. But for what it's worth, I promise that's the most sinister of my reasons. I've always got business on the mind, but it's not as evil as the original Torchwood. Um. In the Doctor's Universe, it was founded to fight me and the Doctor, because we kind of -- [Hand wave.] Pissed off a queen. [Literally she only learned that from Jack.] But in my Dad's universe -- that's the one I got temporarily trapped in, yeah? That one, the queen died, so Torchwood was founded with more... business in mind.
[Rubs the back of her neck, kind of embarrassed~!] I told Jack, before he went back, he was in charge of meeting people. [Actually: security. But tomayto, tomahto.] Like I said... [Small wince.] I haven't exactly tackled that task since he left. E-even if I should have.
