[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?]

Ah well...

[He does not know quite what to say to that, but settles, instead, for an awkward sort of smile at her.]

Thank you. I am not sure what to say other than that. I have not been told such before.

A good idea, I think. On all of those accounts. I am not much for drinking but on this occasion that is more than warranted.

[jondrette]

[She'll take it.]

You are welcome. I thought you should be told.

Wine solves much, you will find.

[solo_patria]

Perhaps so, and in this case, it commemorates much as well. It would seem as though it may nicely help us with both of the purposes that we'll come to the tavern with.

[jondrette]

I hope so.

I should let you get about your business, m'sieur.

[solo_patria]

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...

[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?

[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.

[solo_patria]

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

[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.

[jondrette]

But we shall see, m'sieur Enjolras.

[solo_patria]

I suppose so at least. At any rate, it will be good to have my friends knowing each other here, I can say that.

[jondrette]

And I cannot disagree with you.
I shall look forward to meeting him.

[solo_patria]

Excellent then. I think you two will likely get on well at any case.

[jondrette]

I hope so. At my best I am prickly.

[solo_patria]

At my best, I am quite the same and thus far, Courfeyrac has tolerated me.

[Enjolras cannot help but grin a little.]

Really, I think it shall be fine.
