“Get your knee away from my face!” Napoleon barked.

“I would if you moved your posterior away from mine.” Illya groused.

“Not exactly pleased with what I have to be staring at mates, if you get my drift’  Slate moaned.

“Where’s your sense of adventure boys?” April giggled.

“Went down my gullet with that last round of scotch,” Napoleon said.

“Yeah,”Mark moaned,”too much gin.”

Illya remained straight faced.. “I am perfectly fine, yet I drank more than the two of you combined.”

“That’s because to you vodka is like water. Last time we play drunk Twister,” Napoleon groaned.
