voice, locked from Grantaire, backdated to Saturdayish

[philosophe]

[Combeferre's voice is quiet; a little resigned, but it won't do to grieve on the network. Certainly not in public.]

Michel Enjolras has left Tu Vishan. His rooms are empty. I must request that those of you who know Grantaire pray do not mention it to him; I am certain he will not take it well, at all, and he is already suffering as it stands. He shall be informed once he is less poorly.

I do not know what happens when one leaves this place, but I wish him well.

Perhaps. I do hope so, I do not wish to think of him...[He trails off for a moment, then shakes his head.]

Do you need help? I will help you, of course, if you need anything let me know.

It has not been too difficult to tend to him.

[A slight lie]

Should he take a turn for the worse, I will send for you of course. I did not imagine going without wine would make him so ill.

[philosophe]

Thank you.

Nor did I, but ...he did drink very often.

[poeticverses]

But it is as if his heart or blood has been taken from him, not simply wine.

[philosophe]

There is little we can do about that, unfortunately -- I do not think wine is a bodily humor.

[poeticverses]

Perhaps it is for Grantaire. What would it have replaced, I wonder.

[philosophe]

Blood, perhaps? He is certainly in a morbid state.

[video | private]

[poeticverses]

He is always in such a state. Is there anything to be done for him?

[video | private]

[philosophe]

I -- what are his symptoms, currently? I may be better able to determine his state if you tell me.

[poeticverses]

He is no longer physically ill, thank God, but he is running a fever. Shakes, lack of appetite, the sort of thing that makes one worry.

[He tsks a little under his breath.] He is over the worst of it for now, but it is important that he eats. I must admit I have not -- treated such a thing, overmuch.

[video | private]

[poeticverses]

I imagine you've treated it more than I have. It is not easy to make him eat for it isn't what he wants.

[video | private]

[philosophe]

I know. I should ask Enjolras to speak with him if he were here, but --

I wish I had thought to have him speak to Grantaire before. I did not think it would have been wise at the time.
