Sisters - A Little Drabble Do Ya!

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

“Darling!”

April’s enthusiastic greeting drew Napoleon’s attention, while Illya casually liberated another slice of bacon from his partner’s plate.

Across the commissary, April and Faustina drew back from an embrace and sat down together.

Napoleon smiled at the sight of the two agents chatting happily. “That warms my heart.”

“Among other things,” Illya added.

Napoleon frowned. “I meant it’s good to see them getting along. For a while I was managing one cat fight after another.”

“Funny, I didn’t think you minded at the time.”

“As CEA, it’s my responsibility to see that agents work together harmoniously. And now look, they’re just like sisters.”

“Women only call each other sister when they've called each other a lot of others things first.”

Napoleon looked up from his plate in confusion.

“It’s from a play," Illya said. "The Importance—"

“I know that. It’s just that…well, didn't I order bacon?”

That was just too, too funny :-D It's very much like meals with my family. If you don't guard your plate you'll lose something. I love how Illya jus 'casually liberated' the bacon.

Well, first 'The Importance of Being Ernest' is one of my favorite plays of all times, so *yay* for that. Second, "Didn't I order bacon?" Too funny. Yup, this one rocks!

Thanks. Also one of my favs. My HS bestie and I used to do the tea scene for competitions.

One of great things about this community...we always have something sensational to read on the train. ;-)

Thank you. Yeah, it's probably best to sit far from Illya at holiday dinners.

Sounds like fun. We used to write steamy love scenes, but since neither of us had even dated to that point, they were pushed the term fiction!

Order bacon, maybe you forgot? big smiles on this one. :)

A very engaging scene, and entirely believable... bacon thief strikes again.

*lol* And good voices from the canon characters, too.

Oh, that all brought a smile to my face. Brilliant little scene, especially Illya quoting and the "casually liberated another slice of bacon" which is a wonderful way of putting it.

Very funny. I guess Napoleon will be guarding his plate more carefully in the future, once he figures out where the bacon went.

Thanks. I watched him do it in The Five Daughters Affair recently, and he seemed well-practiced.

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Not quite sure if Illya will fess up this time or play dumb.

Thank you. I need to watch GFU to get a better handle on April. Other than Darling, I'm not too familiar with her. I work hard on voice, so I really appreciate the comment.

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

Thank you. The line about the bacon wasn't in my original draft of the scene. Once Illya stole the bacon, he stole the show.

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

Thanks. One eye on the ladies, one on his plate from now on. And maybe some defensive fork wielding.

IK's a master at the art of misdirection. Well done!

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And with his head on a swivel, Napoleon just helps him do it.
