[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?]

What, never?

Re: Video:

Quite not. The idea that I might seek companionship of that nature at all is...new to me, I must admit. Pleasant but new. I suppose that I never had the time before.

We seem to have a surplus of time at the moment.

So we do. It has made...much possible.

Re: Video:

[fearlessherosheart]

Has it?

In my case, at least. At home, I could never have considered half of what I have now. There was my duty above all. I would do it again should I have the chance, there is a need for it. But here, I can do nicely enough, while carrying on some of the same things I did there. I do find the chance to strive, and the chance at some relaxation, to be...beneficial.

Ah. Duty is a harsh master.

Re: Video:

So it can be. The results were well worth it, of course, but I am learning I missed much I might have made the room for. Hindsight, I suppose.

Re: Video:

[fearlessherosheart]

Ah, perhaps. But it is not interesting to dwell on the past in such a manner. We are here now.

And we should make the most of it, I do think you have the right of it, Madame.

Re: Video:

Ah, that is good.

Let it not be said I cannot learn things after all.

Re: Video:

[fearlessherosheart]

I will not say that, then. Nor even think it, as you have demonstrated to the contrary.

Re: Video:

[solo_patria]

Well, thank you for that.

I do appreciate it.
