I must say, the fact that you are tossing over two others whom you never let out of their boxes at the same time you are picking me up does not bode well for this relationship.

I don't do well in boxes.

I can hardly say how our paths diverged if I don't know how yours went, so the point would seem to be moot.

[His optimism was somewhat shattered when the people of Paris abandoned them, slamming their doors in the faces of his compatriots as the soldiers shot them down.]

Mine went. The point wouldn't be moot if you told me a bit more about yourself. If you choose to remain silent, then I'm left to form my own conclusions.

[This Enjolras at least has the depth of knowledge that spans beyond his life, as he has long since learned that the people did indeed rise up in the beginning of the barricades, but they were unfortunately gunned down almost immediately. Thus, the people feared too much to come out and join those on the barricade again. Still, it gives him hope that they tried, that the students of the University were willing to tend to their cause, and that their failed rebellion became a turning point for the revolution.

But then again, he is Enjolras. He takes comfort in knowing that people would continue to rise, even though he always knew that they would. And it saddens him so to see another incarnation of himself seemingly adrift in some sort of somber moment, enough so that he would abandon at least one of his convictions.]

Is there anything I can say that might offer you a modicum of hope?

The same could be said about yourself. It is moot unless we both choose to lay out our biographies for the other's perusal, and I have no desire to go through such tedium merely to satisfy your curiosity.

[He has abandoned no convictions, and would take great offense to such being so much as suggested. To share a drink with a companion hardly made him a drunkard.]

Unlikely, and I'd rather you didn't either way. My life is my own, and I prefer to keep it that way.

The difference is that I am willing to share and you seem to possess more of a closed-off nature. Yet when I tried to share with you, I was granted what amounted to a brush-off. So I'll accept the anvils and cease inquiring as to anything about you. I think I've ascertained all I needed to know. Thank you very much for your time.

Good luck with any future endeavors. I hope you find your amis.
