It is a funny thing how just the knowledge of a holiday can change people's attitudes and actions into something … new. There were no physical signs of the holiday to indicate that there was anything different about this day.

Illya stared at his partner.  “You are serious!  I did not know you practiced any religious rituals.”

The Russian nodded.  “If you really want to practice discipline, how about giving up sex?”
