These priorities and fears of yours...strange, to say the least. I hope you're not looking for me to rearrange mine to match, since that would lead to disappointment for us both. If I am to haunt the halls of this bizarre, new cafe, indefinitely, I would like to know that we share a better understanding than that.

...Were my friends brought to this place, as well, I suppose I would hear one, among them, laugh and call me a fool to hear it said that this...is not what I envisioned. Please don't think I give any credit to Marius's misguided melodrama, but perhaps there is a part of me that also wishes it could have ended...differently.

I hope you find yours, friends, that is.

And I wouldn't worry too much about your mun trying to reorder your priorities, they always think they can and it never really works.

[revolutionnerons]

Provided I haven't lost them to equally as odd, yet reminiscent settings. I suppose it's possible I might.

Fortunately, I think she knows better than to try. I believe she's aware her anxieties and needs are her own, in this case.

[unpurged]

The ways of muns are odd and varied, but you've got a good chance of finding them again, I think.

That's a good thing, though, it's always easier when they can differentiate their ... issues, from ours.

[revolutionnerons]

I will hope so, then, too. It would be a quiet eternity, if nothing else, without them.

And recognize which "issues", as you put it, we might have in common.

[unpurged]

As someone who's gone almost an eternity without friends, I can say for sure that it is quiet.

Exactly. There's something of us in them, or them in us, even the ones who don't seem like a match at all. Because if there weren't some connection, no matter how narrow, it wouldn't work.

[revolutionnerons]

Then I hope that's a situation since rectified, for you.

[Smiles.] I wouldn't have come, when she called, had there not been.

[imabiblesalesman]

...That. My friend is a lot of really big and really fancy words friends.

[revolutionnerons]

[Eyebrow raise.] Hardly my "fanciest".

[imabiblesalesman]

...I'll take your word for it man. I caught like one word in three so. What do you do with words like that? You a writer?

[revolutionnerons]

I've done some public speaking, in my lifetime. And some of it has been committed to paper, yes.

[imabiblesalesman]

There's a difference between writing and public speaking. Writers write, public speakers and writers are either actors or politicians. You look like you could be an actor. You don't smell like somethin' that crawled outta a sewer if you'll pardon the expression.

[Frown] ...One more errant schoolboy.

[revolutionnerons]

On the contrary, Inspector. I know my way very well.

[alwaysbewolves]

I beg to differ.

[revolutionnerons]

Interesting that the spy, executed for his crimes, would think me lost.

[alwaysbewolves]

[Despite the eventual outcome of what happened he can't resist sticking it to the boy.] Executed by your friend, the man who seemed to sympathize?

[hatesthefall]

And how exactly would you rather had ended? Without the death or without the girl? [ Don't mind him, he's just curious. It's in his nature.]

[revolutionnerons]

Perhaps without the death, yes.

Of which girl do you speak, monsieur? There are none I can think of granting such credit to.

[petitgamin]

[Will gladly help you out here] You're a fool. Feelin' better?

[revolutionnerons]

[And there's a smile he can't help.] Very much so. It's good to see you again, Gavroche.

[petitgamin]

It's always good to see me. Mebbeh I should sell meself as a tonic

[revolutionnerons]

To cure all of France's ills, with one encounter?

[monsieur_marius]

[A soft chuckle, for how could he help it at those words?] It is good to hear you speak. Even shaken, you sound stalwart.

I should be glad to be called melodramatic, if theatrics call for second chances. You are most welcome here.

[revolutionnerons]

Shaken only by the dawning of an experience not planned for. Death, of course, but this strange interim...

[A quiet smile, in return.] I'm not familiar with this "here", but I'm glad to find you well, in it, Marius.

[monsieur_marius]

You do like to keep yourself well-planned. [A soft tease, shaking his head a bit.] You could never be accused of being a man of inaction.

However, 'here' might be thought of as a less insidious version of limbo. No doubt, you will find yourself elsewhere soon enough.

With hope, you will be just as well there as you find me here.
