*trembles and flinches* Don't look at me! In God's name, don't look at me! I hate it!

[king_of_spies]

But I look at everyone. *looks closer* What have you got to hide?

[one_tiny_crime]

*twitch, twitch* Nothing! I have nothing to hide, nothing at all! Why should I be afraid of you? I am not afraid of you! I have nothing to hide. I am innocent of anything!

*recoils* But you must not, you can not keep looking at me!

[king_of_spies]

Then quit acting as if you've got something to hide.

[wounded_shrike]

*brightly*

No one's going to mind if I shoot this one, right?

*notes down description*

And you are?

[moderatelymad]

*gives him a level stare and a polite smile*

He's a war hero. Who are you? It's generally courteous, you know, to tell us about yourself first, and take the head count later.

*holds out hand*

I'm Joseph Fouche, retired French civil servant.

*bemused* Am I on that list, too, then? Dangerous revolutionary, at your service, m'sieur. *bows and fingers pistol*

[king_of_spies]

*carefully writes Grantaire's name in his book*

So, what can you tell me of this Enjolras?

And do put that gun away. Like children, you revolutionaries, can't keep your hands off your toys.

[capital_r]

*is quite tempted to take the book and run*

*pauses, and considers* Well, let's see. He has very shiny hair. And he likes to flick it, rather a lot. Like this. *E!style hairflick* Oh! And his lips taste like strawberries.

*valiant attempt to not burst out laughing*

Note to the subject of the earlier post

[capital_r]

Don't hurt me, I was being an idiot. Really don't think you're like that.

[king_of_spies]

Another one of those gadfly child-revolutionaries, I see.

*studies notes and checks to see if Courfeyrac is blond or hairflicky*

Which one are you then?

[king_of_spies]

*shakes hands absently with his nose in his notes*

A tramp? Do tell.

Are all of you sodomites then?

[sweariwontdie]

*makes a shooing motion*

Will you just go away!

[king_of_spies]

And who are you? Oh wait, you're one of Louis-Antoine's numerous cousins. Don't think that will save you, boy.

What have you got to hide?

[sweariwontdie]

Nothing. Nothing at all. Now go away.

[king_of_spies]

Nothing?

Your sister is married to an English nobleman, and you're on the lists as a counter-revolutionary. Bad form, young St. Just.

Would you care to come with me? I'm sure I could find a cell somewhere to lock you up.
