Verse 07 -- Voice

[poeticverses]

[The feed's just a voice one today. Jehan wants it to be quick and to the point]

I apologize for this announcement, as it could not possibly come at a worse time, but I feel it is my duty as his friend to let others know. If you knew Grantaire, he is no longer here. It is possible that his disappearance is connected to the rapid decay of Asti in these last few days though I do not think that is likely to be the cause.

[Still, you never know.]

It would not hurt to keep in contact with friends here, should this illness lead to more disappearances.

[He's silent for a long moment, though the feed is on. When he speaks, he sounds tired]

I simply need time, I believe, to recover from the stress of the last month and a half. I...helped him through the worst of his illness brought on by the lack of wine. To suddenly be without not only that task but Grantaire himself is...disorienting.

I...that must have been so, then. Perhaps some rest and time as you suggest.

[There is a bit of an awkward pause as Enjolras considers how to phrase this, how to try to tell Jehan that he would miss him if he was gone and values him all the more now but...what finally comes out is a bit different.]

Do take care of yourself, then.

Of course. Though should anything that requires my aid arise, please don't hesitate to send for me.

Of course. And please, the same goes for all of you now. Anything at all. I was...not so open with this as I should have been once, but I do mean it, and to hold you to both things.
