Nice touch, it being an old friend from his Russian days rather than Napoleon who comes to rescue Illya. Illya's insecurity is well done, too.

Thank you! I thought Napoleon being the rescuer would have been too predictable. Glad you liked it1

I love tjis. You had me worried for a minute when I realised it was Napoleon who had come for him. I really like the idea of Illya being called Wolf Cub.

Thanks! I decided not to have it be Napoleon to the rescue for once. by your reaction, it worked. I've used the term 'wolf cub' before in some of my back stories. I think others have used it as well, but I can't think you.

Glad you enjoyed the story!
