Not Another One?

[cafeetoranges]

He's short, although the specially made heeled slippers gain him back a few inches, so he can look his friends eye to eye when he wishes. Yet the most remarkable thing about his current appearance is his confusion. A bloody bandage or possibly an ex-cravat drapes around his neck, and he holds his chin gingerly, prodding it delicately with apparent

*was peacefully walking along, sipping his tea, and....chokes* *manages to regain his composure eventually...to some extent*

Pardonnez-moi, citoyen.

[cafeetoranges]

Don't mind me, citoyen.

[ferrefriend]

A pleasure... I mean, merci... I mean.... *bows slightly* Matthieu Combeferre.

[cafeetoranges]

*head bob* Maximilien Robespierre. *sounds vaguely amused*

[ferrefriend]

Oui. I mean, a pleasure... *clears throat slightly* I wonder whether a..friend of mine has had the pleasure of meeting you? Tall, fair. He is called Raphael Enjolras.

[cafeetoranges]

Yes. I met him. A remarkable young man.

Are you one of his friends, then?

[ferrefriend]

*draws himself up - that's one less worry to concern him*

I am. And gladly so. He is somewhat remarkable *slight fond smile*

He was...alright, then?

[cafeetoranges]

*mild tone* Why wouldn't he be?

[ferrefriend]

Because he almost fainted when he met Saint Just? I simply wished to check. He is important to...all of us. Sometimes - in Paris - he would get too involved in his fight to remember to take care of himself. *blushes faintly, as is probably saying too much*

[cafeetoranges]

*blinks as if he doesn't know what that's like*

Well, that's why we have friends, isn't it?

[ferrefriend]

It is, citoyen. You...found yours?

[cafeetoranges]

*smiles* Yes. He had to come here before me.

[ferrefriend]

I had the pleasure of meeting him. He is...also remarkable.

[cafeetoranges]

Isn't he? So young and yet so strong.

[ferrefriend]

*smiles slightly, and look, suddenly they're talking about two different men* He is. A great man.

[cafeetoranges]

Tell me more about your friend. I only learned how he died.
