I enjoyed this. I like mission stories with some "I'm not leaving without you, dummy" H/C attached.
A very minor quibble - do you care that the Coleridge quote isn't quite accurate? I know people often say it that way, so it's not like it's out of character for a person who's not a total pedant to get it wrong, but if you care, it's "water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink." :-)
H/c's my weakness, especially the not-leaving-you part ^^
Heh - if Illya had been quoting the line, I would've made certain it was accurate, but with Napoleon, I figured he'd go for the more populist version...
