hearrrtofgold[As might be expected, Duke is making desserts. His cabin’s kitchen is all but drowning in gingerbread men, sugar cookies in snowman and reindeer shapes, and chocolate cakes with snowflakes painted in blue icing. In addition to his Christmas sweater he’s wearing a Santa hat and a broad smile. (Yes, he’s affected by the sweater. It’s just like Christmas in Haven, except this time he hopes he won’t end up on a back road in a Santa suit.)]
I was going to say something about the spirit of giving and togetherness after the whole talking-animal clash, then drive it home by making some “peace offering” justification for the cookies. But really, this is all for the sugar.
Now, who wants gingerbread and who wants cake? I can’t eat all this myself.

- Allison Argent: A crown, the type a Hunger Games victor would get.
- William Bush: Jack Sparrow’s compass; the one that leads to someone’s heart’s desire. Please never let Allison see this.
- Cassel Sharpe: All colors of glazes, a large supply of grey and red clays and a pottery wheel.
- Jean Grey: A narcissus plant and one of these cakes.
- Kylar Stern: A book of Bashō’s haiku.
- Tig Trager: A "Team Edward" shirt. Preferably pink.
- Mason: A Christmas cracker with a joint inside.
- Scorpius: A medieval alchemical guide, as well as basic metals for experimentation. If anyone can figure that stuff out, it’s him.
- Stephen Hart: Bone Sharps, Cowboys, and Thunder Lizards by Jim Ottaviani.
Please give everyone else a candy cane and a card.

[Duchess responds by sniffing in the direction of the comm, then sniffing Allison's finger before rubbing her chin against it, making her giggle.]

It takes five or ten minutes before Duke's cabin door opens, a dark head poking inside.]
All your gingerbread are belong to me! Surrender the cookie men!
