Napoleon knew the moment that his preference shifted was when he was being tortured, and he saw Illya walking in quietly like an angel of death. He'd never known that much surprise and relief at once. He had no hope of rescue, and while he had every intention of dying before talking, it really wasn't how he wanted to go. There was no way to communicate at the time, how much he appreciated it, but then he found the watch and that symbolically seemed like enough. It was probably inevitable he'd see the giant Russian coming to the rescue again sooner or later. Napoleon does have a tendency to take more risks.
Napoleon shrugs but he does agree, if they could question the bodyguard without risking cover it might be worth it. But then again. "Maybe, but he seems more interested in her than in anything else. Letting her make it up to him indicates he cares more about the sex than the reality." He walks with Illya in that direction, but pauses when they pass a window, just so he can get a good look at his reflection and make certain everything is in place. He knows how to look perfect, but well, why not admire perfection while he can.
"Love is very foolish that way. It's also likely anything he'd tell us would be painted in feelings, poor bastard." The way Napoleon says it though gives a little away, as he knows enough about love to comment on it. "My guess is eventually he'll end up going after her husband or another lover to a fatal result." These things happen. He is satisfied with his appearance and glances over at Illya. "I've jumped out of a few windows in my time too."
