It was a full half-hour before Napoleon called things to a stop, thanking Mark for providing the demonstration as well as thanking Adams for his participation. Mark was wearing a boyish smile as he shook Adams' hand, but his eyes weren't smiling. They were a firm warning to the man. One that the very sore Adams intended to take to heart. The Brit might be easy-going, but he was no pushover.

Illya approved of the message Mark had put out - that he was taking this partnership seriously, not just playing along to appease either Napoleon or Waverly.
