Advent Drabble 6 - Children

“I believe,” Eames proclaims, “that the most challenging people to design for are…” Eames pauses.

Arthur glances up from the comps he’s looking at, eyebrows raised.

“Dramatic pause,” Eames explains.

Arthur rolls his eyes.

“Children!” Eames announces.

“Children,” Arthur repeats flatly. “You find children hard to design for?”

“Absolutely. Why do you sound dubious, darling?”

“Because you’re basically an overgrown child yourself. We live in a house with rivers in the hallways, and you wanted a chocolate garden like Willy Wonka. You design instinctively for children.”

Eames considers. “I will take that as a compliment.”

Arthur admits it basically is.

Totally is! I bet Eames would design the most magical nurseries in existence.

Thank you, it’s adorable!

Aaaah, it's delightful to meet these Arthur and Eames and their banter again, Artur all falsely blasé and Eames all dramatic. Also I hope it's obvious that you now have to write a children version Next Big Thing. :D

Haha I figured that was next in line! ;-)

It really is a compliment. Eames would design inspirational children's spaces.

[earlgreytea68]

He definitely would!

Ahaha that's amazing. And he would design beautifully for kids, as long as he listened to them the way he does his adults. Perfect!
