WHO: Illya Kuryakin and Gaby Teller
WHEN: 226412.12
WHERE: A spa on Risa
SUMMARY: Spending some time in a Russian sauna, like you do
WARNINGS: TBD

This planet really did have everything.

While it wasn't strictly called a banya, one of the spas on Risa had a room that was very similar to a Russian sauna. The interior was made of wood, and though the steam wasn't produced by the traditional firewood, it was close enough that nobody would be able to tell otherwise. Illya sat down on one of the long wooden benches and let the steam roll over him as he waited for Gaby to join him. He was completely naked aside from the towel around his waist, as that was how one was supposed to experience the sauna. He couldn't remember the last time that he had been to a banya. The relaxation would probably do him good.

There was even a bucket of veniks, or tree branch broom massagers, sitting on the floor. The leaves didn't look like that of a traditional birch tree, but Illya figured that beggars couldn't be choosers in outer space. Gaby would probably enjoy hitting him with them.

Outside of the sauna room was a small private pool of cold water for them to dip into after they had worked up a sweat. All in all, while not an exact replica, a very close experience to the traditional Russian banya. Illya was very pleased.

Illya shrugged at that. "Of course. I do not want to cuddle with him." That would probably be weird for everyone.

He settled back against the rim of the pool. "Yes, well, it works much better with Rogue, even though she tries not to touch me so much in the night." He knew that Gaby was aware of the other woman's powers. "She does not wish for anything to go wrong."

"Hmm," she replied skeptically and leaned her had back against the cool tile of the pool, her eyes focusing on the patterns on the ceiling above.

"I would prefer that, too." Gaby recalled her conversation with Rogue. She had revealed the nature of her powers, though Gaby had no way to grasp how truly dangerous they could be. "She seems to be in control." For the most part, she thought, remembering the nightmares that apparently plagued her.

	Illya noted that tone of voice and turned up an eyebrow at Gaby. "What? You think I wish to cuddle Solo?" He scoffed a little. Napoleon was good-looking for a man, and he had some endearing qualities, but he also happened to be a huge pain in Illya's ass. He tried to remember that every time Napoleon gave him a mournful look with those blue eyes of his. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well," she shrugged, "he does seem to possess the strange ability of making a person want to strangle him and embrace him at the same time." Gaby turned her gaze back toward Illya, her lips turned up in a tiny, playful smile. "It's a trait he shares with someone else I know." The two men were perhaps more alike than they would care to admit. To Gaby, they were both equal parts endearing and irritating. And really, that was rather what she liked about them.
