Verse 09 - Video

[poeticverses]

[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.

[jondrette]

He meant to mock me. That is all that matters m'sieur. He is an absurd man.

[poeticverses]

[Well, at least he doesn't have to say it.]

I am sorry that he felt the need to mock you.

[jondrette]

There is no need to feel sorry. It is how it is. I do not have to see him anymore.

I severed that tie even before the barricades rose.
