[His expression is grim, but rather determined too. France got through it, after all, or seems to have, he reminds himself.]
It seems to be a story that, hard as it is to hear, must be told, must be learned from. I've thought that of our war here, the recent one. It carried lessons and had moments that made things clear or at least understandable. I have no love for war stories, but...they have their place.
[And then, happier news indeed! He has to smile as Klaus speaks of that.]
Closer, and closer, as progress and the future find their way. I can think of so many of my friends who would be pleased to hear of that world. That one in which we've...yes, broken down the barriers as you put it, destroyed the petty differences and learnt to embrace the others, to learn from each other, instead of destroying. The future of the world always seemed in the hands of the schoolmasters, or the poets, and the men of knowledge who would spread it onward, who would seek to learn instead of to destruct.
That is a story I would not mind knowing as well. And so it must certainly is. And I do not believe we have exchanged names yet, monsieur? Mine is Enjolras.
