Fabulist - Drabble for the Word of the Day - February 25th

The Word of the Day is 'Fabulist'. https://section7mfu.livejournal.com/2752042.html

.............................................

“You’re a fabulist, Napoleon Solo,” Andrea scoffed, as he told her of his latest exploits.

“It’s all true,” Solo insisted. “Honestly.”

“I know you agents face some odd things in your job,” Andrea continued. “But you can’t really expect me to believe something so outlandish. Your stories are exciting enough. You don’t need to add ridiculous embellishments just to impress.”

“Ask Illya,” Solo said, as his partner walked by.

“Tell Andrea who rescued us on the last mission,” he urged. “She thinks I’m making it up.”

“It was a gorilla,” Illya told her as he passed, leaving her standing open-mouthed.

This makes that episode worthwhile. You have done us a great service, thank you.

Thank you, though nothing can redeem that episode :-)

Hahaha! I can just picture Illya answering that in the same tone as if she'd asked the time, and just walking on down the corridor. (My wicked mind, though, can't help wondering if he and Napoleon plan stuff like that and snicker over it in their office.)

That's exactly the tone I imagined when I wrote it :-D I wouldn't put it past the pair of them to plan these things.

Illya, waiting in their office: " Did they believe it?"

Napoleon, quickly closing the door: "Hook, line and sinker." {sees Illya's confused look} "That's means, yes. You were very convincing."

Both men snicker as they head for their desks.

After all, one must relieve the tedium between assignments somehow...

Brilliant! I have no doubt that this is exactly how it would be :-)
