Serenity Cove, Sunday Evening
The day had passed largely without event for Éponine, as did most days to tell the truth. It wasn't until right around dinnertime, when she happened to notice the date, that she realized there was anything significant about it. But that was why she was here now, sitting up on the rocks beside the ocean, a bottle of something-or-other alcoholic (she wasn't sure which, she'd just grabbed one at random out of her stash) in her hand and a distant expression in her eyes.
How exactly did one commemorate the day one almost died, anyway? Was it even something one did? Well, it wasn't as if anyone had ever taught her differently, and besides, she wouldn't be here now otherwise; it seemed fitting, even if it was strange.
Besides, her brother, Monsieur Marius, that Courfeyrac fellow and the others in the Rue de la Chanvrerie that night, the others at the barricades of Saint-Martin and Saint-Denis . . . futile as it all might have been in the end, perhaps they deserved a moment to be remembered. She raised her bottle vaguely in the direction of what she imagined might be Paris, took another drink, and went on staring off into the distance.
[OOC: Because it is, after all, the anniversary of the June Rebellion. I had to, as usual. Open if you like!]
