An apology isn't payment at all. [How many times has he tugged desperate, petty thieves from their scabbed knees as they begged his forgiveness, his leniency? Too many to count to be certain. Apologies, to Javert's mind, are too hastily given and too often accepted. For that, they are worthless.]

But if that is indeed your wish - [And far be it from Javert, who has already done her enough of a disservice, to disregard it.] - I suppose I have no choice but to accept it.

[Although it's clear that he doesn't particularly agree with her soft-heartedness.] And to thank you. You're too kind, mademoiselle.


[OOC: Cheers hun :) I'm still get my bearings with him. He's not my usual fare when it comes to muses but I enjoy a challenge!]
