Poor Steel. He’ll never figure that one out.
Good job.

And Steel isn’t alone…
Mine:

Napoleon glared from his partner’s hamburger and fries to his own meager lunch. “Explain to me again why I’m eating rabbit food.”

“You don’t wish to be forced to retire from the field because your cholesterol level is dangerously high.”

The CEA let out a ragged breath. “Try again.”

“You enjoy experiencing a variety of different foods?”

His lip curled. “I don’t think so.”

A blond brow quirked. “You were persuaded by the glowing reviews this meal received in the New York City fine dining guide.”

“Yeah.” Napoleon picked up a celery stick. “I knew it was something like that.”

Well played, spikesgirl58! As always, my highest praise - I heard it in their voices!

Here’s mine:

“Sometimes I wonder if I will survive long enough to retire,” Napoleon grumbled, gnawing on a limp stalk of celery.
“Thrush is using a different guide for this detention,” Illya responded. “I mean, it’s hardly Michelin star cuisine, but it is better than usual.”
Solo regarded his plate disdainfully.
“I was supposed to attend a Broadway opening with Suzette tonight.”
“And the gallery show with Linda yesterday. Your date with Marie Saturday… amazing you find time to be a spy,” his ragged, bloodied partner added, sarcastically.
“Ready to escape?”
“I’m persuaded. I’d hate your social life to suffer further.”

This is really well done, Spike.

You kept me guessing as to what it was Steel didn't understand. A clever ending.
