This was a good use of the words!

[spikesgirl58]

Thanks! It seems right for today!

“This stream of inane chatter is giving me a headache,” Illya hissed, sotto voce, from behind his menu.

“At least we’re sitting down.” Napoleon sighed wearily; after a morning escorting elderly ladies on a shopping trip, he preferred facing Thrush rifles.

“I don’t suppose they might compromise and agree to visit a museum instead of Macy’s after lunch.”

“What in Heaven’s name are you young men whispering about?” one of the matrons scolded from across the table.

Napoleon winced. “I was just, ah, suggesting my partner save room for dessert. The cheesecake here was nominated for New York City’s finest.”

Cleverly handled!

[dancingpony]

Thanks.

*Chuckles* Well played, DP.

A good use of words and a fun little scene - poor Napoleon & Illya.

Why was this so tricky?

“This must be heaven. The trees, the little stream…”
“The manifestation of Beethoven’s 6th, isn’t it?” Collapsing back into the grass, the Russian sighed. “But I’d rather not find my way to your heaven quite yet.”
“I’m sure there is room there for even your reprobate Communist soul,” Solo jibed gently.
“Your heaven may compromise to accept me, but I may not wish to go there yet.”
“Feels so good to rest…”
“But I am bleeding...more steadily. I nominate you to go to the chemist’s shop in that village and fetch supplies...”
Sigh… “Okay, I’ll go, Illya.”
Silence
“Illya?!”

[nakeisha]

You've used the words well, OF. A good conversation.

Oh, gosh. I do hope Illya has only fallen asleep!

[olden_fan]

I’m sure he’s fine… just a bit of healthy literary ambiguity!

[nakeisha]

Oh, good *g*

[nakeisha]

A good use of words, Spike. And an interesting little story.

Well done.

[spikesgirl58]

Thanks! I used to love it on the show when they would come across something other than the regular monsters.

Here's mine - it follows on immediately from the one I wrote last week *wry grin*

"For heaven's sake, Neil, won't you ever compromise?" Peele shouted.

Neil said nothing.

"We'll see what 'C' has to say!"

"You go. I'm going to the shop. I need cigarettes." Neil strode out of the room.

Rain streamed down the window, so he decided to go to the hutch and cadge from Willie.

"Hey, boss. What did Peele have to say?"

Neil took a cigarette from the packet on Willie's desk. "He's gone to talk to 'C'."

Willie grinned. "I doubt he's going to nominate you for employee of the month."

Neil shrugged and lit both his and Willie's cigarettes.

[spikesgirl58]

Heh, life in the office. No wonder they are happier in the field. Good job, as always!

[nakeisha]

Indeed. He & Peele were never exactly 'the best of friends'. Thank you, very much.

[dancingpony]

Good scene and good use of the words. But … could you translate “go to the hutch and cadge” please? Just so I understand fully?
