[Hello, Turtle. Here is an Enjolras who looks a bit embarrassed that he's even started this late night/very early morning post, but well. The question he wants to ask IS actually a valid one, now that he has TIME to ask it, and he finds the current most popular phrases to be incredibly awkward or childish so..The hell with it. People have asked all sorts of questions here, haven't they? He's clearing his throat, flushing a little, then glancing into the vid directly and clearing his throat.]

A question, everyone.

I find that most of the current terms for one's...romantic friend...but more than such are either juvenile or not quite accurate. 'Boyfriend' for example, makes us sound as if we were children, 'Partner' has several connotations that do not immediately state the obvious and 'Lover' sounds particularly awkward.

[And well, they have not quite gotten to the lovers stage yet. Enjolras is hardly ready for it and still accustoming himself to the kissing and cuddling things that he never let himself seek out in life.]

When others here speak of the other piece of their soul as he is to me...what terms seem to work best for you?

[He will deny this video happened later. He really will. He just...really wishes to know and can't sleep so...here it is. Have fun with it?]

We'll speak again later as it comes to planning this, perhaps? I do confess I have little idea what I am doing there, and I would welcome aid.

[jondrette]

I shall be as much help as I can. I've never done anything like this on my own. I only watched from my father's knee. But we shall see.

[solo_patria]

And I have been a part of those that my friends organized, but nothing on my own. Perhaps enlisting Courfeyrac as well...

[philosophe]

[He catches that and frowns a little.]

Very well, but even so. I would like you to take care of yourself.

[solo_patria]

I know that you would. And I cannot say I am not trying, really.

[If by trying, we mean, well, not at all, actually. Which is probably fairly obvious since his bed is made in exactly the same way it was three days ago. He slept at his desk for about two hours yesterday? Does that count?]

It helps having you here.

[philosophe]

[He just glances around at the room and gives Enjolras a bit of a look.]

Well. Perhaps it would be better if we -- slept together? Not in a -- as Courfeyrac and Pontmercy do, for now, I think.

[solo_patria]

[And Enjolras is sort of following his glance and, that's not exactly a cringe, but it IS a little bit of a shrug that admits that, fine. He is not exactly sleeping as things stand. As far as what Combeferre suggests though? Well, he's nodding a bit, a small smile on his face.]

Perhaps so, if you would not be overly disturbed. I do relax with you, certainly.

[jondrette]

And yet you organized the barricade.

Very well. We shall ask Courfeyrac!

[solo_patria]

A barricade is far less party and far more..

[Well. stones, and bits of broken wood, and shining ideals and sacrifice. Really only wood is likely to be found of those things at a drinking party.]

I think that may be best with his experience. We'll do so soon.

[jondrette]

I understand.

Wonderful. I have not seen M'sieur Courfeyrac since he invited me to yor barricade.

[solo_patria]

Did he really? Well, better you know him in our different context then.

[jondrette]

He did. He walked with me there. He did not know me, nor even that I was a woman.

I look forward to getting to know him here.

[solo_patria]

Ah, I wonder if he would NOTICE you now then. It may be fun to see.

[jondrette]

...[Eponine narrows her eyes.] How so, Enjolras?

[witchnotwarlock]

[Billy gives him a salute back with the biggest grin on his face.]

You should. You should definitely do that. I'd say take a picture, but he might not like everyone seeing his face with that? But I'm sure it's going to be great!

[solo_patria]

To have you come before him, as you are now, and ask if he remembers. You are quite changed, certainly. Unless you would not prefer, and we may skip that, of course.

[jondrette]

I do not wish to be reminded of my anonymity in Paris.

[bludhavenknight]

[Dick laughed.] You can't imagine kids? But kids are wonderful! Who doesn't like kids?

[Suspicious over-dramatic look.] Do you like kids? Is that where this is going?

[passively]

Oh, no, you misunderstand.

I've got no urge to let anybody be victimized by that man's whims. It takes someone just like him to be able to keep up with that madness that he flaunts so proudly all the time.

[solo_patria]

You are, clearly, a better man than I, monsieur, in that case.

[Enjolras's smirk is tiny, but it's there.]

As far as someone like him, Lord, are there more of them? Ought we to put out warning signs?

[solo_patria]

That certainly is fair enough, I will confess. We need not do so then.

Re: [video]

[solo_patria]

[Enjolras blinks a bit, missing the humor in that, or the implications at the end there. So Dick, you're getting a quizical eyebrow there.]

I cannot see either one of us with those of our own, somehow. I knew a grand total of one in Paris and he was...quite unusual.

Re: [video]

[solo_patria]

At least for a few of our friends, certainly. He may not mind that so much.

[jondrette]

I thank you. If it comes up, as I'm sure it will, then it will be mentioned. But I will not seek it out.

[solo_patria]

Of course. That does make sense.
