section7mfu | Into The Sea We Go...

Alas, poor Illya Kuryakin. The sailor who hates the sea. Thanks to The Shark Affair, we have knowledge of this weakness.
How many stories have featured this little detail? I don't recall it ever coming up again in the series. The number of times Illya ends up in the water is pretty often, swimming like a fish to do some sneaky maneuver and thwart or distract the enemy.
Is the fact (canon fact), that Illya is prone to being seasick an endearing quality? Do we write about it because a weakness makes him that much more human?
What do you think? And, if you write, how often have you drawn attention to a seasick Russian?
While we're on the topic of water, how ironic is it that Napoleon has been cast (thanks to

st_crispins I believe), as an experienced sailor aboard his own vessel, but thanks to real life info, remains uncomfortable in the water.
I know it's a Holiday Weekend for a lot of us, but if you get a minute, leave a comment.
