( if it's strange for grantaire to falter, it's even stranger for him to concede, because they butt heads every time they talk, but it's always enjolras who puts an end to it, because it isn't productive. because he has things to do, a meeting to conduct. grantaire as he knew him was happy to bandy words and trade semantics, because words were ineffective and took no stance; they were perfect for a cynic. anyone could talk. acting was the more difficult thing.
but grantaire backs off for once without a long, drawn out speech about the futility of their actions, which are delivered so often that enjolras often asks himself why he lets grantaire into the group at all. but he does, and he lets him speak his piece for what it's worth sometimes, which makes this even stranger.
enjolras checks his watch. )
The meeting is not for another hour yet. If you were planning to show up.
