Verse 09 - Video
[Here's a seldom seen face on the network. Jehan's been sick and it shows--he's paler than normal and he sounds a little stuffy.
(The illness was actually convenient. He hasn't been feeling very sociable and this gave him a very good reason to not be sociable.)
But he is feeling better and he supposes he'd best let whoever may have been looking for him know, as well as see who all has shown up in his absence. In the background, you can hear his panpipes playing 19th century Christmas carols]
I had forgotten that simply because I am indisposed does not mean that the world at large is equally indisposed. I have been largely unavailable for the last month, for reasons I suspect are obvious [and here he turns to cough] and I am afraid I have no idea where we are or what has happened. Would anyone be so kind as to, ah, inform me?
For those who may have joined us in the last month, or for those who may have forgotten my face, I am Jean Prouvaire, formerly of Paris.

[He pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful, and then there's a widening of his eyes as he recalls something.]
I have purchased a winter coat. You may have it; it may be of some assistance. [Because he had come across a particularly insistent shopkeeper and was too shy to keep refusing; thus, an unwanted fur coat in his possession. 8'(]

A-HA!]
Courfeyrac had purchased me a fur hat, in fact. You can... [He almost says 'have it,' really, because yes it is that hideous, but he does not want to offend said friend, and so,] borrow it, perhaps?
video;
Did he trick you into purchasing it, Pontmercy?
video;
Not at all. It was simply that he could not refuse the shopkeeper, who had been so eager to see the hat sold.
[Because that's the only reason why Courfeyrac purchased it, right???]
video;
I see. Well, unfortunately Courfeyrac's taste in hats is rarely mine. I will pass.

[By my unholy trousers what's he going to do with it now.

B-But if you have a change of heart then my offer still stands.
