A Drabble A Day #7: Eggnog

"Cookin' something?" Claude's voice made Peter almost drop the spoon he was holding.

"I'm making eggnog," he replied, stirring the mixture.

"Eggnog? That's real cute, Peter." He grinned cheekily.

"What? I make eggnog every year," the empath retorted. "It's nothing special. It's just something I've always done."

"That's fantastic. Gonna put lots o' rum in it, yeah? That's how I like it."

"Why would I put more than I usually do?" asked Peter.

Claude reached over and grabbed the bottle of rum. He tipped over the bottle and poured half of its contents into the bowl.

"Because it's easier to get drunk that way, my little poodle."
