It takes Steve three days to notice it.
“What in the hell am I looking at?” Steve asks, expression flummoxed.
“That, my dear, is my newest creation,” Eddie says proudly, looking from the yellow painted dachshund/banana figurine back to Steve's face.
He hid it on their bathroom counter, half-obscured by the face wash Steve uses at night. He’s been waiting with baited breath for Steve to find it, lingering by the doorway while Steve washes his face.
Steve picks up the figurine Eddie painstakingly made and holds it in his hand, marveling at it.
“I love him,” Steve says, biting back a grin. “What’s his name?”
“Banana Dog,” Eddie says and Steve wrinkles his nose.
“You can't name a banana dog ‘Banana Dog’. That’s so lame.”
“You name him, then,” Eddie says, crowding closer, wrapping his arms around Steve, kissing his temple.
Steve hums and looks at Eddie’s reflection in the mirror. “He looks like a Jerry.”
Eddie snorts. “Jerry? Okay. Jerry, the banana dog, it is.”
“Tell me about him?” Steve asks, leaning back into his embrace.
Eddie tells him about how the party will meet Jerry and Steve listens on with adoration in his eyes the whole time.

also one of the things that makes della such a garbage baker-- I know for a fact someone once told her while baking cookies to just “double the recipe,” and when she asked for clarification, they said to just multiply every number on the page by two.
And since then, no one ever noticed she’s been doubling the oven temperature, too.

The other fantastic Colin moment in the episode, other than his resignation as Deli's Skald, is how he undergoes pretty significant inconvenience, traveling something like six hours out of his way, to make up in a small way to the murder of the banana guy for no other reason than he was in the wrong place during a political assassination. Colin understands why his grandfather was murdered, even though he doesn't like it, but his father - who wasn't a good man at all - was killed for being the descendant of the wrong noble house despite being a child during his father's coup. Colin himself is at risk despite being born after his grandfather's death and never experiencing any of the privileges of nobility, only the liability. Pamela Rocks is politics - you wear a crown, you take your chances - but the banana man is murder. He's just some guy who was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and while Colin is most certainly not just some guy, he has the worst aspects of that banana man (poverty, lack of influence, fucked over entirely because of the political machinations of others he had no way to stop or even know about) and none of the good ones (the freedom of truly being just some guy, who won't be blackmailed or executed on the basis of blood ties alone). I really don't think he cares about Pamela Rocks' death, and maybe if the banana hadn't shown up Colin would still be at Deli's side, or at the very least not vehemently opposed to the FDA, but the banana did, so here we are.
