thrush, though I have never seen one.

Napoleon lifted his partner’s head, wiping away the blood with his handkerchief.

The wound looked superficial, but enough to have knocked him out.

“Illya?”

“Mmmm, da?” The Russian came to slowly.

That Thrush got you good, tovarisch."

“Chto takoe drozd"_what is a thrush?”

“You don’t know?”

“Nyet.”

“Oh oh...”



Which one sings, if he sings it, with care.

“It is a  songbird?”

“Yes, but there’s another kind, a nasty human kind of Thrush. You really don’t remember them...you remember me and UNCLE right.”

“Da, you and UNCLE,  not the other....wait. They have guns?”

“Yes...”

“I think one is behind you.” Illya shot, not hesitating.

“Thanks, partner.”

Illya covering Napoleon's back, as usual; even with a slight memory loss!

Nothing like acting on instincts hmm? Thanks for reading and commenting!

Always trust the Russian... I choked in the coffee with "not the other....wait. They have guns?”!!!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he couldn't remember Thrush, but he remembered guns. That's instincts for you.
You didn't choke too bad on your coffee, did you? No out the nose spurting I hope?

Thanks for the comment!

“Chto takoye molochnitsa_what is a thrush?”

i believe, you meant "chto takoe drozd". don't trust google-translator so entirely;)

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Spacibo! Yes google translate does have it's drawbacks.

[injj.livejournal.com]

definitely, it does. because first translation for "molochnitsa" would be "Candidiasis".

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Yes I realized that after you pointed it out and I went back to GT and saw it in the other word options. Normally I double check the meanings and cross check on the translation, but I must have forgotten to this time.

I friend requested you, and if you don't mind, once in a while, would you be willing to check on my translations in Russian? I've been trying to learn, but so far I'm just at the memorization stage of phrases.

[injj.livejournal.com]

ja, russisch ist ziemlich schwierig;)

sure, i don't mind. just send me a private message with anything you want to be checked.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Ja! I do speak Irish-Gaelic, and that's helped me a bit in working some things out with other languages, but having help is always appreciated. None of the translation service take colloquial phrases and the funny changes that can take place with verbs..

Thank you! I'll definitely pm you when I need help!

It's a wonder that IK doesn't have permanent damage for all of the hard knocks his head has taken. I'm glad he remembered how to shoot ;)

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Yeah really, but they miraculously survive, thank goodness. We may beat them up, but we always save them, don't we? Thanks!
