The "I don't want to wear that!" Affair
Napoleon Solo disliked being typecast as merely a suave and handsome daredevil whose life was tinged with incalculable luck. No, he was more than that, and so when asked to don a western gambler themed costume for the UNCLE Charities benefit ball he balked at the obvious nod to the rakish image it evoked.
"Seriously, do you think they could be more obvious Illya?"
The Russian was unconcerned about what his partner would wear. The unfathomable request made of him was ... unconscionable. The costume waiting for him was a king's raiment, including the crown.
"At least you are an American and by all means my friend, a gambler. A risk taker par excellence, I might add. I, on the other hand, am averse to the notion of playing a monarch. It is simply not feasible."
Napoleon eyed his partner with a serious expression, remembering how the Russian could carry himself in the face of obstacles that would cause most men to cower in fear or defeat.
"You're wrong about that. Nobility is more a matter of character than birth, and you have that in spades." That seemed to satisfy the blond, and napoleon also acquiesced to his role with élan befitting his reputation.
Happy Halloween from the ultimate Tricksters... their Treat.
