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.

[ When he looks up he'll find Enjolras watching him with a puzzled frown. ]

I have no need of it. Keep it if you like it.

[ Grantaire just assumes that’s his normal face, really. It's typically what he finds when Enjolras looks at him; either that, or disdain. He prefers the former. ]

You have no interest in the artwork of the future whatsoever? It may speak to the political climate of the time. You do have a great deal of interest in that.

[ A bit low? Maybe, but not untrue. ]
