[Enjolras has to admit the description is...pretty apt, really. Sure, it's a little basic, but, well. Chopping off heads and Marie Antoinette are about what one who does not know the history well are things that stand out. ]
The Terror was. well, needed, I think, based on the situation at the time, but would have better been avoided. I think that there are ways to form a republic without shedding blood, but it seems as though the world was not ready, either then, or in my lifetime.
I missed that revolution by quite a bit, though I had a friend, almost a second mother, who witnessed it. She had some interesting stories and advice when we took up the task of bringing the republic back.
[Enjolras is pausing there, considering the question carefully.]
It has been odd, especially at first. I suppose I've grown used to it now, but at the time, well, I was lucky friends from home were with me, then. It was easier to find my place.
[Though, there is a blink at the concept of a future Earth, there.]
The idea of a future Earth seems so....strange. Or any of the other places people might come from. I do not think it will ever seem entirely normal. I do admit I wonder who might be from the future of my world here.
And I may have spent a lot of my first few months here being rather lost. Sometimes I do suspect I still am. It's...taken some getting used to.
I suppose it must be odd for you as well. It seems a bit before your time in terms of the technology that could be put to use here, no?
[The future is equally strange and fascinating. Enjolras cannot imagine stepping back and how frustrating that must be at times.]
