[poeticverses]

[This takes place after they've been in the warm waters for a bit.

This is the most excited, happy Jehan you have ever seen. Someone heard from a kedan about the water and he's ecstatic. He's from Cannes, from the shore. He's missed going to the beach, and now he gets to.

He's in R's suite, so you might hear the drunk bitching about an overly excited puppy of a poet, but Jehan does not care. He does not care at all.]

We, apparently, are now in the warmest waters the kedan have ever seen, and they are a wonderful, clear blue. Therefore, I am insisting that all of our friends join Grantaire, Bryn, and myself for a trip down to the edge for swimming. We will be leaving as soon as we've supplies for a full day at the edge. If you'd like to join us, please meet us in the Wood Sector.

[He grins and starts to shut off the feed before remembering something. He blushes]

Ah...with the reprieve we've been granted, it might quickly become...indecent for young children or particularly gentle women. Just...as a warning.

[The modifier on "women" is because of Bryn. Jehan shuts the feed off, yelling something off screen at R.]

((ooc: This is going in a separate log here in a second because there is going to be alcohol, smoking, and likely nakedness because men didn't have actual "swimsuits" until the 1840s and these guys predate that. So.))

Shit! [He curses and kicks out at Jehan's hand, trying to scoot further up onto the mattress. It's the reaction one might have to being ticklish, and he is a bit, but that's beside the point. His wine splashes as he avoids Jehan's hands.] Look what you're doing, you're wasting perfectly good wine, when we have so damn little of it.

[poeticverses]

Then get off your ass and help, Grantaire!

( action )

[cynisme]

[he lays back against the mattress, feet up and again ready to kick.] I will not. It seems that gravity has taken control of me, alas, I can't rise! You will simply have to continue on without me and my presence.

[poeticverses]

Enjolras may be coming.

[He has no idea if he is or not, but it might work]

( action )

[cynisme]

I never said that I would not go with you, I simply cannot rise to give you my assistance in preparation. It seems the wine has gone to my brain! And also, I highly doubt Enjolras will show himself to frivolous entertainment.

( action )

[poeticverses]

And why wouldn't he? The revolt on the mainland failed, there is nothing to be done here, and Enjolras is a man. He surely enjoys the sun and sea as much as the rest of us.

( action )

[cynisme]

Enjolras enjoys nothing but liberty and action. What we will be doing is distinctly a lack of action.

( action )

[poeticverses]

I still believe he will come. Now get up and help us!
