I love this so much !! You gave such an excellent reason for Illya's stubbornness. I also love how Napoleon came to his partner's rescue, knowing how much he would be hating talking to the shrink.

Excellent story and a reasonable explanation. Add that to the general Russian stoicism and it's a miracle Illya even admits to being injured!

Thanks so much! Yeah, I could see Illya doing the same for his partner.

So true. I think it's the vulnerability factor they both hate, though Napoleon doesn't seem to mind all the attentions from the nurses. Thanks for the nice comment.

This is terrific, and such a believable explanation. Thanks for a great read!

Very well conceived and written. You give us a good explanation for some of that stoicism.

Thank you! When I was around 9, a rabbit got caught in our chain-link fence and it screamed! It was blood-curdling and a sound I'll never forget. It was able to free itself finally but lost a bit of fur.

Thanks! It's been a while since I last posted a fic. Hopefully, my next one will be finished soon.
