"Napoleon, do you have plans for New Year's Eve?" Illya asked quietly after playing with his pen for a while avoiding looking directly at his partner.

"I've some fires in the works but nothing definite. Why?"

"It does not matter, if you are doing something."

"Oh no you don't partner. Why did you ask?"

"My friends from Little Odessa invited me to join them celebrating the New Years, and said to bring a friend. I thought if you had nothing to do, I would invite you. You have shown me your celebrations, and I want to return the kindness."
