[lecentre]

[Contrary to his usual charming self, Courfeyrac looks nearly heartbroken as he faces the feed.]

I lost it. I already lost it and I don't know how I'm going to replace it. Surely I cannot charm my way into another hat... And I'm not entirely certain I wish to! This one I had deemed my lucky one until I could find one more of my fashion in this place!

[He sighs and dramatically slumps, burying his face in his hands.]

And here I had dared to believe my luck had changed here.

[Jehan is biting back a small chuckle]

What made this hat so lucky, mon frère?

[video]

[lecentre]

[The look Jehan gets is an absolutely pitiful one.]

It was an aid to my charm, Prouvaire. The hat and I, we had a good partnership.

[video]

[poeticverses]

Charm?

[...oh. Oh. That reminds him. After a little fiddling, Jehan turns the feed to PRIVATE. He can't meet Courfeyrac's eyes, and he's blushing furiously]

You mean with Mons--with Alcuin?

[video]

[lecentre]

Oui, charm.

[PRIVATE]

[He tilts his head a little, not quite smiling yet, but near to it.]

Oh, yes. With Alcuin.

[virginprice]

Oh no. It suited you so well. [He can be equally tragic. Just watch.]

[lecentre]

And when I had finally determined how best it looked on me, too!

[Are they going to try and out-do the other with tragedy? Most likely.]

[virginprice]

However will you recover from such a grievous injury to your wardrobe? No, I cannot imagine it! You will be forever mourning its loss.

[He is a good actor. No hint of a smile is present!]

[ Cosette is genuinely concerned. He seems so upset! She gives him a sincere smile in hopes to cheer him up. ]

I assure you, Monsieur, that you look fine without a hat. Perhaps, you even look better, though I have not seen you with a hat on. Please do not be upset!

[lecentre]

[How could he not cheer up with a smile like that?! His smile, while not a full one, returns faintly.]

You are an angel. I pray you leave judgement until you have seen me with a hat, but your kind words will soothe me until then.

[moreofalark]

[ Her smile brightens with the appearance of his. ]

Ah! [ An idea! This will surely cheer him up! ] I could help you in finding a new one. Then I would be able to make my final judgment and you would no longer be hatless.

[...]

Would some company help alleviate your woes? [Enjolras' tone might be a little incredulous, but his offer is sincere.]

[video]

[lecentre]

Some company would help a great deal!

[.... Well, he's shocked to hear the offer, but he will not turn it down!]

[video]

[idealisme]

Then I shall join you presently. You are at home?

[cynisme]

It would be a shame of the hat weren't so ugly. Though if that hat were truly the best replacement for a woman that you could manage, then I'd say your bad luck has just begun.

[lecentre]

The hat was hideous, yes, but it was a hat still. And it did it's job and more...

[Fine, that gets a laugh from him.]

It was not a replacement for a woman, it was merely an aid to my charm in this place!

[cynisme]

And what job was that, beyond covering your head? I see now women flocking to your side, unless I've been left out of some happy news of yours.

[newblood]

What kind of hat was it?

[ because that's the important, hard-hitting question that needed to be asked. ]

video;

[lecentre]

[.... It was important until now. He smiles a little and shakes his head.]

One native to this place. Nothing spectacular, I assure you.

[newblood]

Well, I'm not much of a hat girl, so I won't argue with you there.

If you're going to get another one, though, definitely go for something classier than the norm. You have the hair for it. [ said as if it's both a simple observation and a compliment. ]

[Look at this stupid face. Marius is so stupidly happy. HE IS JUST SO HAPPY AND FULL OF OPTIMISM. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.]

I am certain you will find a luckier hat, my friend! In fact, it would please me to accompany you in your search for a new one. [Marius do you even know where the shops are]

video;

[lecentre]

[... What a stupid face that is, Pontmercy. Why are you so optimistic? Can you not see how upset he is over this lucky hat? And he has no idea what has even made this hat lucky.]

Can you be certain?

[.... Can he fix your own fashion while he's at it?]

Your lady has offered to go with me as well. Am I going to be the dreaded odd man out for once?

video;

[saisamour]

[ courfeyrac is welcome to fix marius's fashion! marius welcomes everything now that he's in a permanent state of bliss! ]

As certain as the moon orbits the earth! [ and he reddens slightly at the mention of 'his lady'] I assure you, we do not mind an odd man in our company.

[magicalpadawan]

[And this is a slightly amused face. Enjoy the tattooed blue-haired young lady, Courf!] Borrow one from a friend, maybe? Or go shopping.

[lecentre]

That does nothing for the luck part, mademoiselle.

[Oh how interesting she seems, though! He flashes her a smile.]

Though perhaps with it gone, my luck is starting to look up. It's given me the chance to make your acquaintance, after all.

[magicalpadawan]

Then maybe it wasn't a lucky hat after all, if your luck's looking up just now.

[She just raises her eyebrows a bit.]

I'm Molly. Hi there.
