Survival Tactic - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - June 15th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Illya Kuryakin could be terrifying when he wanted to be. He often played up to his ice prince image, but only because it meant people left him alone to get on with his day. It wasn’t that he was anti-social; he had simply learned throughout his life that developing too many friendships could be dangerous. As a result of this he did whatever he could to keep people at arm’s length, without actually alienating himself. He was quite proud of his new tactic.

“Quit smiling, Tovarisch. You’re scaring everyone.”

“That is the intention. People were becoming a little too familiar.”

Doesn't need to smoke to be scary

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Isn't that the truth.

Oh yeah, that could be scary when someone who rarely smiles, starts to do so. Good one!

Thank you :-)
I know it freaks everyone out when I start smiling for no apparent reason, LOL.

Oh, yeah! Everyone's thinking, "Kuryakin is smiling! Wonder where he hid the body?"

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Exactly! It's an unnerving thought :-)

I bet this one went hand-in-hand with or was inspired by your canteen post!

How did you guess? :-)

Perfect! I love it that his smiling keeps people away. If it were only true in real life sometimes.
