Keep On Keeping On - A Little (Double) Drabble Do ya! - April 1st
It was unusual for Napoleon to be so despondent and Illya was worried. The American was the definition of optimism in the face of adversity.
“What has caused this downturn in your spirit?” the Russian asked.
Napoleon sighed and looked over to his partner.
“Do you ever feel like we’re fighting a losing battle?” he asked. “As soon as one issue is solved another arrives to threaten to world.”
“If I thought that, my friend, I would not try so hard to secure the safety of those we protect,” Illya replied. “If the best we can manage is to maintain the status quo then we are succeeding. Though I prefer to believe we make the world a much better place. I have witnessed the world at its worst and, no matter what comes along to threaten humanity, I will stand against it.”
Napoleon’s brow wrinkled in thought, and then a smile appeared on his handsome face, which was matched in his eyes.
“Thank you, Tovarisch,” he said warmly. “I can always count on you to put things into perspective. I guess I’m just tired.”
“Maybe you should sleep tonight, rather than meeting with a lady friend.”
“I’m not that tired.”
