[Cinna looks a little less focused than usually -- that may have something to do with the collection of tribbles in his lap. The topmost one (yes, the pile is multi-layered) is the tribble that he's had from the beginning. Mostly sandy-beige, with white stripes on its belly.]

I know they're dangerous, I do understand that. They'll eat away the entire food supply.

[He trails off, his fingers in the fur of his favorite tribble.]

They're just so innocent -- if cold stops them from reproducing, couldn't we make cooled cages for them? Not all of them, but some of them?

[Like this one. He wants to keep it.

He feels better with the tribbles than he's felt since he arrived on the turtle. Better, even, than when they were in the plentiful current.]

I know it's a risk. But it seems wrong to kill them all.

[This. Exactly this.]

It is so strange how something so small has so much power to be soothing but..there is something about them certainly.

[Enjolras has even been able to sleep a little since spending time with the tribble population lately. All in all, it's beneficial somehow. He feels safe with them, or they feel safe with him, or something in between, and only need so little to be happy.]

This one came along [He indicates Camille now] with a tiny nod, then strokes the little creature for a moment. just when I needed him the most, I think. I am almost grateful that they came to use here, if that makes sense.

Yes. They are undeniably comforting. Much more than any other experience I've had in this place.

[He ducks his head down, considering his own favorite. He really ought to give her a name.]

I'm glad they helped you.

It comes quite close for me as well.

[Combeferre on the anniversary of the barricades overrides the comfort from the tribble but other than that, he can think of nothing that measures even close.

And that yours seem to have helped as well. [He adds this with a little nod. ]

Yes. Very much.

[Obviously, since he's comfortable admitting that. Before, he'd closed himself away, anxious not to burden anyone else.]

If I find a containment solution, I'll be sure to let you know, sir.

Thank you. I'll do the same if I hear anything. I suppose, while we are here...my name is Enjolras, originally of Paris.

Enjolras. It's nice to meet you. I'm Cinna.

[Paris is nothing but a word from a history book to him.]

Cinna. [Enjolras is nodding a little on the camera.] The same to you.

Good luck with your tribbles, Enjolras.

And you with yours
