"Today we're making leprechaun traps," Steve said. "Edible ones that will hopefully not annoy an actual leprechaun."

Because Steve was Irish and he'd been taught very early not to piss off the wee folk.

Tony just side eyed him for a moment at that. "Which apparently involves a lot of cream being left out?"

Look, he wasn't up to date on Irish folklore.

"Milk," Steve said. "They like milk. And whiskey." He shrugged. "That's what my mother told me."

"Shortbread might be good to try for the traps," Tony added. As that was definitely Irish to fit the theme. "If your trap works... please be careful in case it's a squirrel or a gremlin."

"Maybe with a sign that says you don't really intend to trap them?" Steve added. "Leprechauns are pretty spiteful."

He'd heard.

"Make your box at least three apples tall," he added, "or the leprechauns won't fit inside."

Were they real? Steve had no idea, but he wasn't taking chances.

Listen to the lecture!

[heroic_jawline]

Ask important questions like, "What is a leprechaun?"

“I don’t suppose,” Terra mused, “I can claim an exemption on this activity on ethical grounds?”

Probably not, since they weren’t actually trying to trap anything, but she had to ask, being a fairy herself and all.

Build a trap!

[heroic_jawline]

Or not.

Shortbread with icing to hold it together should work. Nell had a pretty nice little house built with a door and a bowl for milk - or whiskey - inside.

Did leprechauns exist where Belle came from? It was possible. Fairies did! She wasn't sure fairies could be trapped though. So she was trying to build a little trap of a house with cookies and frosting but she wasn't really trying to make it work.

Talk to Steve and Tony

[heroic_jawline]

Who are both there!

I definitely tell the kids we don't make leprechaun traps not because I am lazy (though I am) but because we're Irish enough to know not to try to tick off fairies.

We always used to make them houses to stay in over St. Patrick's Day so they'd bring us luck.
