[ Left outside Will's door is a small, wooden crate filled with a variety of things. First, a few bottles of homemade eggnog (careful, it’s boozy!). There is also a bundle of cinnamon sticks and whole nutmeg, attached to a tiny grater so you can add fresh spices to your festive drink. Tucked away in the crate is also a festive tin, filled with a variety of holiday cookies - shortbread, gingerbread, and sugar cookies.
It’s not all just food and drink. Safely concealed in a small, cloth bag, is a charm, along with a note: wear me for a little extra warmth!. And, just for Will, there's a variety of dog toys.
A tag attached to the crate simply says: Happy holidays, from Q & Eliot.. ]
[ This is all very sweet and very unexpected. Will spends the longest time investigating the charm, trying to reason out how it works. He's unsuccessful.
He eventually settles down on the floor with Toast and her new toy, and sends off a text. ]
thanks for the gifts you two are at the point of joint christmas presents? [ He's impressed, for the record.
But also realizes his slight mistake, and continues: ] i'm texting just you because i'm going to guess you made everything in this crate
congratulations [ He takes way too long to decide to send it, but he feels...better after he does. It's weird being happy for someone else in a completely separate-from-their-headspace way. He's just glad they've-- got that. ]
i hope he made you one, too [ It's only after sending that that Will realizes his mistake: that Eliot might correct him by saying they're just going to share Quentin's. He awaits his fate. ]
