Time to Relax - A Little Drabble Do ya! - Feb 22nd

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Illya stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. Despite the water dripping from his body, he padded through to the living room and set a jazz record away on the turntable. Returning to the bedroom he dressed, in sweatpants and t-shirt, to the sounds of Ornette Coleman.

He then went to the kitchen and prepared a glass of tea. Usually, Illya made do with the kettle but, as he was going to relax properly, he used his samovar.

With glass in hand, he sank onto the sofa.

Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep.

Duty called.

No rest for the weary. Nice job!

Thank you :-)
I'm sure his rest will come soon.

Poor Illya. I hope he at least gets to finish his tea.

Knowing Illya, he'll probably end up in medical for 2 weeks before he can get back to it.

Not fair, at least the poor guy desires tea

Duty always comes first.

Thanks for that 'imagery.' My friend Bob has a Samovar so I had a glass of tea prepared with it one time. The we (and some other musicians) relaxed and had a little jam session.

This drabble was lovely, while making a going point of no rest for the weary. Poor Illya.

One good image deserves another ;-)
I've never had the chance to try Russian tea.

"D

It wasn't Russian tea, just regular black tea made with the samovar. There's a Russian grocery store somewhere around here, may have to go look for it...just for fun mind you. "D

Oh my! You had me at "Illya stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist." The perfect 13-word drabble in the history of all drabbles!

Thank you very much :-)
I think it was spoiled by the appearance of the towel :-D

A little mystery goes a long way to my way of thinking. ;D

An uncivilized world where there is not enough time for tea.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

That's the truth of it.
