Don't you think you should wait till your legs get a little longer before you get let out?

[makeflowersgrow]

You were brave, at least, Gavroche. You stood by men and you fought.

[petitgamin]

You wot, mister?

[petitgamin]

They're tryin' to make us all equals, they treated me like one, so I stood like one. [He looks away for a moment, not really feeling able to look his sister in the eye] An' he ... you ... I didn't want that to happen. To you.

[makeflowersgrow]

[She shrugs] ...I don't think I meant it to, either, really. I didn't mean you to see. I'm sorry, Gavroche.

Did he... he did not forgive me. But he held me.

[petitgamin]

[He rolls his shoulders, standing up a little taller] S'alright. Tough one, I am, c'n handle it.

... Think he might have. A little.

[makeflowersgrow]

'S no more than I could expect... Gavroche, why did you run out like that? I know you did... I mayn't 'ave looked out for you in life, but in death... why?

[petitgamin]

They needed more ammunition, didn't they? To busy arguing amongst themselves, and I'm the quickest of the lot.

[passthehat]

Well I'm sorry to say this but there's a very real danger of you being stood on at the moment.

[alwaysinlove]

You were the bravest of all of us, I think, my friend.

[Prouvaire's voice is delicate, and his smile warm.]

[untamedantinous]

[The briefest of pauses.] The both of you were. I do not know I can thank you.

[makeflowersgrow]

But you ended like the rest of us... You're better than the rest of us... Gavroche, I wish you hadn't.

[alwaysinlove]

It's you!

[And joy, open and pure, is written on his features. He looks down at his hands, his cheeks flushing a little.]

I don't think I did anything so very brave. At least, I don't believe I did anything differently from the way you or any of the rest of us would have.

Please, don't thank me. I was always grateful and glad to be among you.

[OOC: Can I give you some iconlove for a moment?]

of course you can. <3

[untamedantinous]

[There's a very small smile, then, and a brief touch to Jehan's shoulder. It's not a hug, but it's as close as he's going to get for now.]

We were -- are grateful for you as well, brother.

[alwaysinlove]

[Prouvaire knows Enjolras well enough to understand. He raises his eyes, still beaming.]

Thank you, brother. It was only my pleasure to give what I could, what I had. I'll take my life for what it was... what it is now... and be content.

If my verse was short, then it was always intended to be so. I cannot say that I regret anything at all. And, maybe that's more than a lot of people have, even if they live a very long time.

[OOC: I play Enjolras as well as JP (AntinousWild) and if you could tell me where I could find the base image for your "downcast" and "Sexy as I know it" icons I would love you forever. I tried and I cannot find it!]

[petitgamin]

Well, I'll bite the foot that stands on me

[petitgamin]

We're only equal when we're dead. [Simple as that]

[petitgamin]

Nah, we're all brave, ain't we? Just nimble, I am.

[petitgamin]

[There's a pause, as Gavroche looks at him] Weren't enough though, were it?

[untamedantinous]

I am glad you do not. Neither do I.

It is very good to see you, Jehan.

[OOC: ...Said friend is around, so she found it here!]

[untamedantinous]

It was not. But we all knew that.

[petitgamin]

Don't mean we can't wish it were otherwise. [Which is how he feels. He wishes he had been quicker on his feet, that he had been able to avoid and get the ammunition back to them] That one [a gesture at his mun] said summat about small ripples growin' larger. Fink she's tryin' to make me feel better.

[untamedantinous]

I know. But it is done with, there is little we can do. [That small smile grows a bit, and he nods.] She may be right. Pontmercy did survive, at least.

[makeflowersgrow]

Yes - yes, we are equal now, aren't we? [It's said with a grin. She's proud to be on the barricade with the other souls who died, forever and ever fighting for France and love.]

[petitgamin]

Did 'e? [Gavroche takes this in with a bit of a grin] Wonder if he found his lady then.
