...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?

[untamedantinous]

I do. My given name is...somewhat fanciful.

[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.]

[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.

[untamedantinous]

It is childish.

[beautedudiable]

It's charming.

[untamedantinous]

You would be a fine judge of that, I think. I do not know much of it.

[beautedudiable]

I know you do not... It's why I won't back down from this.

Let her swoon, Enjolras. She's entitled to it, after all, you can be very easy on the eyes.

[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.

[untamedantinous]

That is what I am told.

[musichetta]

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

[beautedudiable]

Then that is what you should believe.

[untamedantinous]

I suppose there are at that.

[musichetta]

... The sound of gunshots, for one. [ sniffle again. ]

[untamedantinous]

It seems rather unimportant, but if I must.
