Advent Drabble 16 - Reindeer

[earlgreytea68]

For anonymous

He should have known that when Eames said he wanted reindeer for Christmas, he meant real reindeer. They already have river hallways and an indoor forest.

Arthur looks at the reindeer in their courtyard. “Where did you even get it?”

“Money talks,” Eames says, so apparently now they’re involved in underground reindeer trafficking.

“But what are we going to do with it? We can’t keep a reindeer!”

Eames pouts. “You said I could have a reindeer!”

“I thought you meant a fake one covered in white lights!”

Eames considers. “We could put lights on its antlers, actually. There’s an idea.”

It turns out I need two more prompts. If you didn't sign up before, here's your chance!

This is the same Eames who ordered live pigeons for an indoor party, of course it would be live reindeer!

Arthur isn't delighted to have a reindeer in his courtyard, I'm not sure he'll be chuffed to have an electrocuted reindeer in his courtyard. :D

And in both cases one can't help wondering, who will deal with the droppings? (Spoiler: not Eames.)

TRUE WORDS.

"Now we have a dead reindeer."

"Well, you complained about the living one!"

[earlgreytea68]

YES.
