The Wednesday Report Affair

[svetlanacat4.livejournal.com]

So, Wednesday's the day?

“Where's my pen?” He's rummaging in a drawer. He doesn't fool me.

Every single time, he tries: ribbons for typewriters, exhaustion, writer cramp...

“Did you take it, Illya?” He looks so worried. I shake my head, immersing myself back in my Physics magazine.

No use, partner mine.

Every single time, he fails. In the beginning, he achieved his ends but now...

Surreptitiously he bends towards me.

“Damned, Illya! Aunt Amy gave me this pen last Christmas and...”

“Amy's a wise lady, Napoleon.” I hold out a bunch of pens to him. “She knows you...

You should hurry. Mr. Waverly's waiting...”

In French, I'd say "A malin, malin et demi..."
There's always someone who will outwit you.
Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for a very well written (and pretty) drabble. I love the Aunt Amy gambit accepted.

Thank you! Love aunt Amy...
Your icon is beautiful!

Another Aunt Amy fan here!

And I'm sure morbid_divinity would love you to share her icon.

Lovely drabble.
"He looks so worried....No use, partner mine." Loved that bit. :)

Also, loved how you slipped in a mention of Aunt Amy. :)

Very clever and so true!

That's because I found many "Poor-puppy-face" Napoleons... But It wouldn't fool Illya!
Thank you!
