Where's Napoleon? - A Little Drabble (and a half)'ll do ya! - Feb 14

Three minutes after entering U.N.C.L.E. New York’s HQ , Illya Kuryakin had decided he hated Valentine’s Day. He had no problems with the idea of love and romance, or of openly declaring it, he merely disliked the way it affected the women of the command. He had a particular issue with those who were hoping for a date with his partner. In the short time it took him to get to his office from Del Floria’s, he was asked where Napoleon was no fewer than twelve times.

Arriving at the office, Illya found an envelope, addressed to him, lying on his desk. Opening it, he found a note from Napoleon.

Tovarisch,

I’m taking a personal a day. If anyone other than Waverly asks where I’ve gone, tell them I’m on assignment. Before you roll your eyes, I’m absolutely NOT avoiding the ladies.

N.S.

“I shall have his teeth for cufflinks.”

Very good! And glad you didn't change it. It's inevitable that we have the ladies chasing after Solo to be 'the one' who gets to be his Valentine for the day. Retreat is the only solution. Thanks for the chuckle, especially the last line. lol!

Thank you :-)
As you say in your drabble, it is a problem of his own making :-)

Poor Napoleon. He's having a difficult day :D

Good quote, and a very neat little drabble altogether. Next year he can mimeograph a little sheet to hand out.

He brought it on himself :-)

Thank you :-)
That might be the best solution in the long run.

Funny! IK is in for a bad day.

He'd be better off finding himself a quick out-of-town assignment.
