The Appetite Comes With the Eating - for A Little Drabble Do Ya!

[gevaudan1986.livejournal.com]

Having found a list of Russian proverbs online, I thought I would use them as prompts for some 100 word stories, so here is the first, of potentially... many.

Appetit prikhodit vo vremya yedy (The appetite comes with eating)

"Didn't you eat half an hour ago?" Napoleon's incredulous question failed to distract his partner from the task at hand.

"I did," the blond acknowledged with a nod, "but I do not know where we are travelling to or how long for. Therefore, it pays to be prepared. May I offer you a fry?"

"Not hungry," Napoleon declined.

"The appetite comes with eating," Illya quoted the words his Babushka used when he claimed to be too full to eat his cabbage.

Twelve hours later, in a cold cell devoid of sustenance, Napoleon resolved to put Illya's Babushka's theory into practice.

A good idea, and thank you for this canonesque drabble you've written on it.

Babushkas should be listened to, but I've found it doesn't work with cabbage.

Thank you!

I like a bit of cabbage with vinegar on - that was my Babushka's advice on the subject!

One should always take heed of a babushka's wisdom. Great drabble.

Thank you :-) Babushka's are always to be heeded!

Thanks! The series is growing significantly, and yet still so many left!

Oh I don't think you'll ever run out of proverbs for years!

Sound like a great idea

Great idea for a drabble series. Very clever.

[gevaudan1986.livejournal.com]

Thank you - its good fun seeing how some are really unfamiliar and some are almost the same as proverbs I know :-)

Always mind a babushka, and don't skip meals ;)

[gevaudan1986.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's ever a danger of Illya skipping a meal through choice...

Nor me for that matter!

Well done. Napoleon should listen to his partner.

[gevaudan1986.livejournal.com]

He definitely should!

It's always best to listen to your Babushka! Nice use of the prompt,
