You’re likely familiar with the images portraying Cupid as a cherubic, chubby-cheeked angel. Cupid is the Greek god of desire, erotic love, affection, and attraction, and Valentine’s Day adopted Cupid as its mascot.

I don't have any words for cherubic, but I do have the picture of innocence.

It's amazing that a 32 year old man could take a picture like that. Very gorgeous.

Illya Kuryakin was causing the medical staff at UNCLE to worry. He had been brought in by his partner near death from several shots. He had lost way too much blood. The doctors felt that he should wake but he remained unconscious. Now the medical staff were wondering if perhaps he'd sustained brain injury due to the blood loss.

Napoleon refused to accept that and insisted his partner was just fine. "Perhaps he's just tired, he did laugh yesterday."

The nurses were on Napoleon's side. They wanted Kuryakin to wake up. Despite his cherubic appearance they sincerely missed his non cooperative, green jello throwing, cranky self.
