Une Nouvelle Colocataire [closed to Fantine]

[lil_blondeangel]

Meg was up early, as usual, but unlike her normal mornings when after her bath she would dress and then eat only tea and a pastry, she decided to make crêpes. It had been a while since she had done so, and after spending so much time at the Opera House lately she'd begun to miss those who had lived there with her in Paris. Such nostalgia came in

Fantine had fallen asleep quite early the night before - it seemed that the excitement of the village was still taking its toll on her. When she awakened, it was to the smell of crepes.

Strange.

She loved the smell of them. It reminded her of when she was a little girl and her mother had made them for her. Her mother...she could hardly remember her face anymore, she had been so young when her mother had died. And now it would be the same for her own Cosette...

Sounds in the apartment made her sit up in bed suddenly.

Someone was in her apartment making crepes.

Surely a robber wouldn't do that?

She got up, threw a wrap around herself, and tiptoed carefully to the door, opening it slowly...only to see that her entire apartment had changed.

She swallowed, a bit fearful.

"H-hello?"

Meg looked up a bit startled... but it was another woman, not so very much older than her, so she smiled.

"Hello! Apparently the hotel saw fit to make us roommates; this apartment didn't use to have two bedrooms." Her French accent in English was obvious, but she'd not been sure of Fantine's accent from just 'hello', and so had not switched to their native tongue.

"Crêpe?"

Fantine's fear faded when she saw the other young woman, and she smiled softly.

"Yes, thank you, they smell delicious."

Then, quickly recognizing her accent she added:

"You are French too?"

[lil_blondeangel]

"Yes, I am." Meg said, switching easily to her native tongue. "So we can speak in French, if you like?"

[[French in italics okay? Otherwise I could actually use the French I've learned in school...]]
