...saw the movie last night. yep.

[untamedantinous]

No. Mademoiselle, if you persist in swooning over me as you did last night, I cannot say what I will do. Do you not think I get enough of this nonsense as it is? I hardly need such things from you.

I am, however, gratified that these film-makers did a very admirable job of telling our story. I must still insist you stop this ridiculous squealing of yours. It serves no purpose whatsoever.

Turning a blind eye and letting her wear herself down would do more good than scolding her for it, or so I am led to believe. They don't seem to listen to admonishments well.

[untamedantinous]

She will not, however, she is as stubborn as I am. [He's squinting a bit, unsure.]

Have we met?

[awaitthedawn]

[She smiles.] Not quite. But I'm told you're quite like someone I know, and that the reverse ought to be true as well.

Eveline Combeferre. [She offers a hand.]

[untamedantinous]

[He bows and shakes the offered hand, looking a bit bemused.] Lucien. Enjolras, as I'm certain you've figured out.

[awaitthedawn]

Well, you do sound alike. It's a pleasure, Monsieur. Tell me, do you prefer to be addressed by last name as well?

[musichetta]

[ sniffle. ] You mustn't blame her for squealing. You all are s-so handsome. [ which normally would be a flirtatious comment if she wasn't on the verge of tears. ]

[untamedantinous]

I do not, it is simply very irritating. [...Girl crying. WHAT DO. He has no idea, so he's just going to -- kind of stand awkwardly.]

[musichetta]

[ not crying yet. about to, honestly. she wipes under her eyes. ] As if a bit of noise could put you off.

[untamedantinous]

It is very nearly constant.

[musichetta]

[ she lets out a laugh of almost disbelief. ] Surely there are worse noises!

[beautedudiable]

It serves to make her feel better, you can't blame the darling for that, can you?

[untamedantinous]

I do not see how swooning over someone's looks serves to make anyone feel better.

[beautedudiable]

It certainly can. It keeps the emotions from being bottled up.

[untamedantinous]

Then I suppose Pontmercy is a veritable fount of emotions.

[beautedudiable]

He she? is. It's endearing.... though I know that you, much like your counterpart, are not fond of such things.

[putthebottledown]

[ And a raise of the glass to you, dear sir. ]

Admirable, indeed, monsieur. But the squealing...

[ Just going to look pointedly to the side and try not to grin. ]

[untamedantinous]

It is ridiculous. [He's just leveling a glare in your general direction, there. It might be slightly less of a glare than usual, but not by much.]

[putthebottledown]

[ and, in turn, it's met with a surprisingly level look. ] Enjolras. I-- [ Hic! Well, maybe it's not that level after all ] --would have figured you to figure out the good in all of this. "More people to hear your cause" or something.

[untamedantinous]

This is nothing of the sort. This is a foolish young lady swooning over us. Certainly there is enough of that with Pontmercy and Courfeyrac's ladies.

[unmocked_lawr]

[Grudgingly:] It was...well staged. I will give them that much, at least.

[At least he got to clock you one! That was immensely satisfying to watch, even if he wouldn't have done it himself.]

[untamedantinous]

It was. The young lady was very happy.

[Whatever, he got to smack you with a chair leg. Clearly he wins. :|]

[petitgamin]

Me mun ain't seen it yet, she said it's not out in her place till the ... 11th Jan. She's doin' the squealing thing too anyway. ... Mun peoples are weird.

[untamedantinous]

They are quite odd, yes.

[petitgamin]

But they get happy wiv little 'hings. An' they've got food. [Yes, this is definitely a good thing]

[untamedantinous]

They do, yes. And at least they will carry on our fight.
