A Drabble on the Discussion on Life: Questioning the Season 5:5

[jkkitty.livejournal.com]

Illya spoke of his father who died fighting for freedom, his mother who encouraged his learning, his grandmother who taught him about caring, Jo who he thought he had lost, and the younger children who didn’t make their second birthday.  He shared stories of their lives up to his family’s death at the hands of the Germans.

Napoleon said nothing at first.

Illya wondered if perhaps his gift wasn’t appropriate.

Then Napoleon said, “I knew I’ve had your friendship and partnership, but to know you trust me with your memories, I’m deeply honored.  Merry Christmas, tovarisch.”

“Merry Christmas, my friend.”
