Mlle. Mundane, was that entirely necessary? I will admit it was his idea, but myself becoming the next companion seems a little far-fetched, do you not think?

No?

A companion? [There's only one way Enjolras can take that, and it's not the right way.]

It seems that even in a place like that, honor is often compromised for the sake of hunger.

Are you in need of assistance?

[While Eponine isn't flustered, she's a little indignant.] Not that sort of companion, M. Enjolras. I'm simply to travel with him. Mademoiselle Mundane refers to the position as being a 'companion.'

I am fine, monsieur, I promise you.

[He nods. The gesture is proud, but contrite. Or, as contrite as someone like him can reasonably be.]

Forgive me, Mademoiselle. I did not mean to insult you.

I'm glad to hear it.

Don't you understand? It doesn't matter. Money doesn't matter and station doesn't matter. We're all the same. If we only...

[In a rare moment of self awareness, Enjolras stops, realizing he'll be there all day if he doesn't.]

Excuse me, but you make a mistake putting such distance between us.
