[ Byerly is on screen, looking pained and unhappy. ]

Nom de Dieu, I'm bored. Let's start some gossip.

Tell me - this question goes out to everyone - who's the worst person here? Or if that doesn't work, tell me who you like best. Or - mm - at least tell me who you've been secretly eyeing. Or just make up a salacious rumor, I don't care, just tell me something fun.

HELLO WHO ASKED YOU

[winecasks]

[ Wait, wait, hold on let him just call off screen. ]

I am offering my frank and honest input the matter. Would you like to offer your own? You may agree with me.

HE HAS OPINIONS THAT NEED TO BE SHARED! NO ONE NEEDS TO ASK

[idealisme]

[He snorts in derision, taking a moment to play back what it was the man actually said.]

Agree with you? With kings, murderers, and men like this Byerly here? You flatter yourself in esteeming your apathy so highly.

[it's???? a compliment???????]

[winecasks]

[ He honestly doesn’t even know how to respond to that? That is a genuine compliment in a weird, roundabout, Enjolras sort of way, and it renders him momentarily speechless. ]

You do not think apathy to be the worst quality, then.

[ INTERESTING, and yet… ]

I would not liken all kings to murderers.

[ He has met some very nice kings, thank you. ]

[idealisme]

[a louder, more derisive snort.]

Show me the king who has never put a man to death.



[We are not talking about apathy's relation to other crimes.]

[winecasks]

To do as much would be forcing you to meet a man who was once a king. I could never be so purposefully cruel.

[ He knows how you feel about kings, Enjolras. ]

[idealisme]

[Grantaire has friends. This is something Enjolras is coming to terms with.]

If he claims he has put no one to death then he is a liar as well as a murderer.

[winecasks]

[ Grantaire has always had friends. The same friends as Enjolras. Now that most of them are asleep, he’s just had to make some of his own friends. ]

A harsh judgement, and such a quick one.

[ You gotta calm down, buddy. ]

Do you know any world but this world and our own, Enjolras?

[idealisme]

[The gentle push back goes unnoticed as Enjolras puts down his pen.]

You know I do not. But my point stands. Kings use force to maintain their power. It is their way.

[winecasks]

What power do any of them hold here? Their homes have been destroyed, just as our own has.

[ He really does miss France too. ]

I wouldn't know a king from any other man if I met him here in the street. He would need to introduce himself as such.
