Dancing Discussions - A Little Drabble Do Ya - 9th September

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

The woman he was dancing with was beguiling enough to turn a saint's head and Napoleon had no such natural resistance.

“You do remember our mission?” his partner asked scathingly in his ear from across the room.

He smiled unconcernedly, spinning her around dizzyingly.

“And you have noticed she is KGB?”

Of course. Really, Illya should know by now that he wasn't inclined to discriminate.

“Her name is Irina Petrovna Pichushkin. She and I were acquainted back home. Intimately acquainted. If that makes a difference to you.”

Ah. Sadly it did. He brought the dance to an end with regret.

Never step on one another feet, Napoleon doesn't do that--nice

Glad you liked it - just a few too many potential complications there.

Ah Napoleon isn't one to share is he? Good drabble and welcome back.

Thanks! I'm more or less awake today, which is more than I was yesterday. My flight got in at 2 in the morning. Which is the sort of detail that makes me realise I'm really not suited to a life of international espionage...not that anyone's asking me.

Glad you liked the drabble as well btw.

What else does this suggest that Napoleon steps away so obligingly? I do hope you'll let us in on what Illya hasn't told already.

Maybe...I can think of a few things. But I've got a bunch of stuff I was planning on expanding already. :)

One of the biggest rules of friendship. Lovely drabble.

True....not least because with their competitiveness, who wants to risk direct comparison? Thanks.

It's an invisible boundary that neither will cross, isn't it?

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

I think so, yes. There are just too many potential complications, particularly to be discussed in a conversation that's technically onesided.
