solo_patriaIf nothing else, it certainly has been a year.
[Enjolras's face is thoughtful still, pensive as always, but certainly less guarded than it was when he arrived here himself, perhaps six months ago. It is some progress of a sort.]
One year ago today, close enough to today, at least, it is so very hard to tell, I was in Paris, still, and seeing the better world we were meant to usher in, though it was difficult to determine, at that point, when we'd take to barricades a second time. I wrote, I spoke, I read, and prayed for something better as I had never prayed for anything since I was...very young.
[And just who did he pray to? Well, it's better that is left unsaid. There is some speculation there, as it seems likely it was not to any God or Gods not made such by revolution.]
And I've seen much in this past year. Darkness and a new disease at home, the heights of love and sacrifice, virtue, friendship and loyalty defined, refined and brought forth to new heights. And then, I managed to come here, where those lessons, and the new things that I've learned have taught me even more.
Life here has been a life of learning, one of mistakes, triumph and despair and joy. I've been blessed in it, and overall, it has been good, but there are those we've lost, some far more recently than others, some who have been especially dear to us.
I speak of those whom we have lost this year, in specific, those from my home. We have lost others as well, but I prefer to stick to those whom we've known best when speaking of memorials and such. I would propose that we do something if it's possible.
Are there any who would be willing to join in such if we should offer it?
Castmates:
Do we have ideas for something we might do beyond drinking in their honor? It would suit some of them well enough, but not for Jehan, I imagine. I would welcome ideas.
Dorian Grey:
You were,in many ways, the closest of anyone to Jehan here. I would especially hope you are willing to come, perhaps to speak of him, ad if you should need anything, please do inform me.
