Oh?

I know I might be some silly girl, but I would like to know what you all talk about!

They talk about nonsense, cherie. It's hardly worth hearing about.

Now, would Enjolras really have constant discussion on nonsense?

Well, let's examine that statement.

Yes.

But he is so serious about it all...

Enjolras has to have something to be serious about. No doubt he fully believes everything he says, but personally I find it all to be hogwash.

I still envy the ability to be that passionate about something, however.

Why do you still listen?

I go there to be with them, not to listen.

Ah... have you heard anything of importance there?

Nothing but the bruised political egos of schoolboys.

*a small chuckle* Can't you find company elsewhere?

I would never. They are all good friends.

Good answer, mon cher. You are a loyal one!

It's my only virtue, I'm afraid.

And a fine virtue to have!

Why thank you, madamoiselle.

You are welcome! *a small curtsy* I aim to please, after all.

Depends on the person. For some people, ignorance is bliss because they're too scared to find out what's actually going on.

Oh, most certainly, I agree. I would just like to know some things.

Things like what?

I think knowing enough to keep yourself safe is always a good idea.

I am concerned about what these boys discuss when they have meetings. I just want to know because I worry...

Which boys? *looks mildly suspicious and mostly paranoid*

It's nothing for you to be paranoid about!

*raises his eyebrows, ignorant to the fact he was that obvious* Sorry. I'm uh... a suspicious guy.

*smiles* It is natural for one to be curious. I'm afraid I do not know enough to tell you.

Natural, yeah. But I'm probably more suspicious than most.

What don't you know that you think you'd be happier knowing?

Well, it is mostly... I would feel more at ease if I know what those meetings were about. The ones Joly attends.

[Frowns.]

Meetings?

Ah, student meetings.

[She's seen enough to know when something sounds like trouble, but she won't upset the other woman.]

I'm quite sure all will be well. Perhaps they are not important enough topics to pass along?

[Then, quietly.]

This will sound odd, I am sure, but... don't let a day go by without telling or showing this young man that you love him.

*smiles, tilting her head curiously* I need to tell him I love him first. And then we can start on the reassuring.

Do you love him?

*without hesitation* I'd say so! I don't think one can be a mistress for her whole life. Or, rather, I don't think I can be.

[Smiles, but it's more concerned than happy.]

Tell him. There's...

[Superstition, omens are easier to blame than intuition based on a long history of past experience.]

There's something in the air. Something's coming.

*furrows her brow and nods* I sometimes feel it too, but I cannot place it.

Sometimes things must happen... but I have found it best to leave nothing unsaid, just in case the storm is worse than one thought.

I'll take that advice, then! I do care for him deeply.

I'm glad.

With any luck, this storm will be brief and more noise than anything else. Still, one can never be sure...

One can only hope for the best!

Is everything all right?

Oh, I'm fine, Jehan. *a small smile* Just a tad worried.

Anything I can help you with?
