Advent Drabble 21 - Opinions

Requested by swtalmnd 

Arthur brings home mincemeat pies. 

Eames is very excited by the mincemeat pies. Kid-on-Christmas-morning. Arthur’s happy he got them. “What I really love, though, is figgy pudding,” Eames says, and sighs.

So Arthur calls Eames’s mom and asks for her figgy pudding recipe. He labors over it and presents it on Christmas Eve as a present.

Eames is absolutely delighted. He says, “And now for the best part—”

“We are not lighting it on fire,” Arthur says swiftly. “Don’t even think about it. Your mother and I are of the same opinion on this: you, fire, figgy pudding, no.”
