The door slid open. His partner entered bearing two cups, a plate of hor d’oeuvres, and a “Merry Christmas, Napoleon.”

“I didn’t think you celebrated our bourgeois holidays, Illya.”

“’When in Rome…’” the Russian quoted diplomatically as he set the tray between them. “Or in this case, Manhattan. But who can pass up a glass of eggnog on a bitter winter evening?”

Napoleon accepted a cup. “Channel D has been quiet — everyone is checking in as scheduled.”

“That is a very good thing.” Illya touched the brim of his cup to his partner’s, and they drank a silent toast to peace on Earth.
