section7mfu | Round Table - The Foreign Legion Affair (Reply)

First of all, just so everyone knows ahead of time, the Round Table will be moving to Uncle du Jour (

uncle_du_jour ) beginning in May. That community was envisioned as a place for discussions, trivia and such regarding the show and all of its elements.

mrua7 has taken the helm there and is looking forward to doing all of that and more. Many of you know the first MFU Crossover Challenge will post there with a target date of June 10. I hope everyone will drop in and support the re-launce of a very viable resource and gathering place for MFU fans.
Now, for today's discussion:
I watched the Foreign Legion Affair the other night and was struck by how disagreeable Illya is during the first segment and again at the end. He seems entirely too put out at his discussion with Mr. Waverly over the private plane he's chartered, and of course is very irate with Napoleon when his partner shows up a little late for the action. Napoleon's reaction is not very professional either, demanding that the vehicle turn around. When Illya tells the girl not to worry, that he'll be back, we of course are being led to believe that this is their regular MO (modus operandi), and that they act like this a lot.
The question is this then:
Is that who Illya is? I've used the word petulent before in stories when describing his attitude, but after seeing that episode I realized that the word truly fits his character at times. Does another situation come to mind where the Russian is acting out a little?
You must admit, he's kinda cute when he's being petulent.
