What would you die for?


[There's no preamble. Enjolras is not in the mood to set the scene. He's been thinking and gotten nowhere so he wants the input of others. Over his shoulder it's apparent his room a shambles, a young man living alone with his mind on things other than housekeeping.]

For myself there's a cause that I've given all my life to. It's the highest ideal I can imagine. I know that is not a usual thing. Life is precious; until I woke up here I'd have said that death precluded any second chances at it. But that's beside the point.

I ask because I thought I others shared my opinions. It is rational to give your life only for the most important ideal. Sacrificing yourself for just anything- to get any item or even for another person... [His lips pinch together in thought, his eyes look distant for a moment.] I have not been able to reconcile it.

[A quick sigh escapes him, frustrated.]

I would appreciate your sincere answers and insights. Thank you.

[Visible approval is a weird and foreign concept to Law!]

... I suppose. I hadn't exactly planned for this alliance to continue as long as it has now, though. This other crew's captain... operates differently than most people.
[Law isn't sure he'll ever be free of this "temporary" alliance.]

[Ever interested in how different groups and systems operate, Enjolras looks intruiged.] "differently than most people"? How so?

[Prepare to be dissapointed.]

... As in he's an idiot. He thinks my alliance was an offer of friendship. When I tried to call it off, he just refused. Once he's decided he's doing something, he can't really be talked out of it.
[It's very tiring, even if Luffy's generally well intentioned.]
