encounters with eppieboppers oh god

[roseoftheunderworld]

...Is that...truly what most girls think of me?

Well. That is silly. And a bit insulting. [Hrmph.] Clearly, they were not paying attention if they think that I am better than Cosette.

[Her faint smile is both sad and bitter. She's used to being blamed and assumes Fantine blames her just as much as her parents. Eponine wouldn't fault her for doing so.]

Not a lady, mademoiselle. [Never a lady.] And...yes. In a way. She is well, I have seen her in this place. Perhaps you will see her too.

[And they'll be happy like they deserve to be, and how she clearly does not.]

( Fantine had never claimed any great intelligence, but she did not lay blame where it was not wanted. Eponine had done better under the circumstances that had broken many. she could not hate her for that, or blame her. nor could she blame her for the unfair treatment that Cosette had experienced as a child; she could only blame herself. )

I am not a mademoiselle. It is just Fantine. ( see her? see Cosette? would that she be so lucky. )

Is she .. happy?

[roseoftheunderworld]

[She will be so lucky, Eponine figures. Good things happen to good people, especially around here. Which is why nothing good's happened to her since childhood.]

Yes. The man who took her was very kind. [And rich.] She lives with him now. Or...she did, last I saw her.

[reveried]

( nothing good had happened to Fantine recently. not for a long time. seeing her child again would be a great kindness indeed. )

That's .. wonderful. ( so monsieur mayor had kept his word, had told the truth and took care of her child. Cosette was taken care of. she wanted for nothing. she knew kindness. ) How long ago was that?
