"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.
