It's been a long day of cleaning the apartment, prepping food and decor, and cooking. So much cooking. The apartment smells like turkey and potatoes and bacon and pie and dozens of other amazing smells. The table is set with enough plates and napkins and silverware for everyone invited and a couple of friends each, and there's a festive pumpkin-and-fall-leaf themed centerpiece that Eddie's particularly fond of. In the background, soft music is playing and the whole atmosphere is warm and cozy.

Eddie himself is dressed in a waistcoat and button-up shirt with a tie, his face a little flushed from spending time over the hot stove and the oven, but he's energetic, upbeat and ready to help Cisco greet guests at the door as they arrive.

Once dinner is set out, it consists of a beautifully roasted turkey, brussels sprouts cooked with bacon, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cranberry jelly, candied yams, warm bread rolls, and whatever other turkey dinner trimming might come to mind. There's coffee and hot chocolate, juice, and wine available for whoever wants to drink it. Best of all, there's pumpkin and apple pie ready for dessert.

Giving thanks out loud is optional, but making new friends definitely isn't.

[Rey's heart thumps loudly at that. He's thankful that she's here? It's...touching in a way. To be given thanks for merely showing up to something as simple as a dinner. It's really endearing...especially to a girl who had no family of her own.]

...I'm thankful for being invited and knowing you and Cisco. [The words are muttered softly to him, letting Eddie know that she really does appreciate it.

When it comes down to food though...she gives him a puzzled look. What? Was it not a common thing for people from his world to not eat meat?]

Yes? Any human body would need a source of protein... [Where as he going with this?]

[The truth is that Eddie's glad they could all come. He's never been the best at making friends, or keeping them, so having some people here, to share the holiday with, is nice. Really nice.]

I'm glad you could make it, seriously. And that you feel comfortable here, even if you're not used to the traditions or anything. You know?

[When she says that human bodies need sources of protein, Eddie laughs.]

Yeah, well, some people, vegetarians or vegans, choose to get their protein from non-animal sources, so I always just like to check first, you know?

But since you do eat meat, well, that means you get to enjoy everything. Now, this here, this is great. It's brussels sprouts cooked with bacon, one of my favourites.
