Illya seemed exhausted; fighting off the cold, snow and rain, the fall down the stairs not to mention nearly being electrocuted had all taken their toll on the already tired Russian. Being up all night working on the equipment hadn't helped either.

"Tovarisch, let's get back headquarters; we can send teams out here to do the searching. You need to get some rest."

"I will rest when I am dead."

That terse remark surprised Napoleon, especially since he knew his partner really liked his sleep. The man would nap at the drop of a dime when given the chance, but then again maybe that's because he was always awake at night reading or, having those nightmares of his.

"No arguments Mr. Kuryakin. As senior agent and your boss, I'm ordering you to accompany me back to headquarters. There, you're to go up to guest quarters and tuck yourself into bed. Understood?"

"But.."

"Period."

Illya sneezed…

"Oh great. That's all I need is for you to be getting sick. Stop in at Medical and get checked out please."

They headed off, walking back to their car.

"Stop being a mother hen," Illya groused. "Aaaaah-choo!"

Poor Illya. Solo's right, of course, but I hope Illya won't have to fight off lime jello as well as Thrush. And there's always all those home remedies female Uncles might try to press on him.

Time for the Cold Sock Remedy. :D

The cold sock remedy? Okay I'll bite. (lol)

There's a home remedy where you go to bed with wet socks to relieve congestion. Sounds unpleasant to me but I keep seeing it on blogs. http://www.heartlandnaturopathic.com/coldsock.htm

It sounds a bit squishy. Perhaps it has something to do with the water evaporating putting more moisture in the air, essentially like a vaporizer? They'd have to be pretty wet socks though.

I'm curious to try it, as I get completely congested when I get a cold. But I usually pull off socks in my sleep when my feet get hot, so it might not work that well for me. :)

Will have to research it further as I get congested with allergies, but I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet so not sure if it could cause a problem. You know that weird cause and effect thing when your on a lot of meds thing. I generally have to wear very loose fitting diabetic sox, so not sure 2 socks would cause a problem.

Let me know when you try it if it works.

Well, if he won't take care of himself, then Napoleon will make sure someone else does.

Now that's the truth isn't it! Thank you!

So much for his "amazing recuperative powers." :p

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Well there's more chapters to go, so those recuperative powers could kick in...there's time.

Thanks for the comments!
