“Nah, the life of an artist is pretty much procrastinating until inspiration strikes at four in the morning and you simply have to write.” They teased softly. “You’re not intruding - it’s nice to have the company.”

Eponine laughed as Jehan spoke. “Well, you’ve been very kind to me. The last thing I want to do is put you out any more than I already have.”

Jehan laughed at that, the noise soft and gentle as they tucked their legs up to their chest. “Usually I just sit and write. Sometimes I listen to music or do origami or read.” They smiled faintly. They could sense the faint self deprecating tone in her voice - years of being friends with Grantaire had helped them with that - but they elected not to mention it.

“You should do whatever you usually do. Read a nice book or something. I don’t want to get in your way,” she added carefully, pulling a strand of hair behind her ear. “I’m really fine, I don’t need entertaining.”

“You are very correct. It’s a double-sided coin. So many ways to help, but so many ways to put a stop to progress as well. Much of it is a matter of perspective, I think. Though, I am told, I am a bit of an idealist,” Enjolras said good-naturedly.

#Enjolras #Eponine #{muse interaction};#gif chat

“Nothing wrong with idealism,” Eponine grinned at him, rather thinking that the world needed people like him to balance people like her out. “Though, I must say, I think we’re rather different in that regard,” she mused, not being able to help the bit of laughter that came out along with it.

Enjolras gave Éponine a thin smile. “It’s not… entirely his fault. He is difficult, yes, but I know that I am… well, not exactly the easiest person to put up with. We just have very different outlooks on the world, honestly. I just with Gr- I wish that he could see the world differently. He’s very cynical.”

#Enjolras #Eponine #gif chat #{muse interaction};

Eponine couldn’t help but feel a pang of solidarity for whoever Enjolras was talking about. The world needed people with hope, but suffice to say, it wasn’t always easy to blindly believe. “I’m sure it’s not either of your faults, really. People believe what they believe and it’s often very hard to change their minds.”

“It’s pretty fuckin cool, right? Makes up for me not being allowed on the Amis’ twitter account anymore,” Bahorel laughed. “Apparently, I swear too fuckin much.”

“Oh, really?” Eponine laughed, solemn face turning cheerful at Bahorel’s words. “I would never have guessed. Have you ever tried, I don’t know, filtering yourself?”

“No problem. I’m a medical student – it’s what I do. Or, what I will do, maybe,” she corrected herself with a smile, then gave Eponine a more serious look. “But seriously, if anything changes, you should definitely go see a real doctor.”

#Joly #Eponine #gif chat #{muse interaction};

Eponine smiled. “I bet you’ll get there. You seem like a really good doctor,” she responded, frowning when Joly spoke again and looking down. She wasn’t sure how likely she was to actually go to a real doctor, but she couldn’t very well tell Joly that. “Sure thing.”

“Eponine are you kidding me?” getting closer so they could talk a little quieter so other people wouldn’t feel the need to get involved. “I really have no idea why you’re attacking me right now!”

#Montparnasse #Eponine #{muse interaction};#gif chat

“I’m not trying to attack you- I just,” Eponine felt her cheeks flush as she realized that she was being unnecessarily cruel. “I just don’t understand what there is to talk about. We haven’t exactly been besties lately,” she reminded Montparnasse.

They chuckled faintly at Eponine’s confusion and nodded. “You would think so but they’re clearly trying to make us laugh at things that aren’t funny by making us feel left out of the joke. We laugh because we feel we should.” They shrugged, tucking their legs underneath them as they flickered their gaze back to the TV.

“I suppose,” she sighed, smiling as she yawned. “So, what do you usually do when you’re not rescuing people from the streets for a night?” Eponine asked, trying to make it into a joke so that they wouldn’t think she was being self-deprecating. But in all honesty, she wanted to know that they could go about their evening as usual.

“I’ll introduce you at the next meeting you attend, if you’d like,” Enjolras offered, before listening to her continue.

He gave her a slow, small smile. “Yeah. Unfortunately… when we talk, it usually ends in an argument. We don’t often see eye to eye on… well, anything, really. But I still care about him. Even if he doesn’t.”

#Enjolras #Eponine #{muse interaction};#gif chat

“I’m sure he cares about you,” Eponine answered, shaking her head as she played with the sleeve of her shirt. “If he’s around you enough to know you, then he must,” she smiled at him. “You’re a very nice person. But yes, some people are just… hard to get along with, whatever the reason may be.”

“Absolutely, and oftentimes with so many falsities clogging up the internet it can be hard to separate reality and fiction. It’s honestly what I spend most of my time doing. Takes the most time of any other part of my dissertation,” Enjolras admitted.

#Enjolras #Eponine #{muse interaction};#gif chat

“I can definitely understand why. It can be hard to tell if people are being genuine or not,” Eponine mused, thinking of her own experiences. “Especially on the internet. When you’re in person, sometimes you can tell just by their energy, their facial expressions. But you don’t have any of that on the web.”

“Uh, excuse me. Are you alright?”

“Marius is just so love struck these days; it’s making for a very annoying roommate.”

#Courfeyrac #Eponine #{muse interaction};#gif chat

Trying not to let the pang in her heart show- as it was rather obvious that Marius wasn’t love struck by her- Eponine tried to offer a comforting smile. “He’ll cool off with time.”

Though the soreness of Eponine’s head was starting to fade, at the mention of going to the doctor, it resurfaced. That really wasn’t something Eponine wanted to do. Instead of answering, she chose to focus on the woman’s other question. “I am,” she gave a thing smile. “I’m sorry, I know I’ve seen you around, but I can’t quite remember your name.”

She smiled, shook her head a little bit. “Oh, that’s okay. It’s Joly. It’s easier to remember one new person than a group, right?”

#Joly #Eponine #{muse interaction};#gif chat

Smiling softly, Eponine nodded. “Very true. Thank you for helping me,” she added, opting not to mention that she probably didn’t deserve the help. After all, it had been her fault she’d gotten hurt in the first place, really, but that didn’t meant she didn’t appreciate Joly’s help. “You’re very kind.’’

“What do you want, Montparnasse?”

Eponine was keeping a fair amount of distance away from Montparnasse, not particularly wanting to get in a big scene. “You know what, nevermind. Whatever it is, leave me out of it.”

#Montparnasse #Eponine #gif chat

“You know, I’ve got to admit.. I’ve never been much for hope or change or any of that, but, uh. Wow. I’m kind of amazed that the social media campaign blew up so much.”

Suddenly, Cosette was the one that felt guilt in her stomach. Even though she knew all she did was remove herself from that hideous situation, not cause it, she still felt awful for leaving Eponine and Azelma. The Thenardiers always were worse to Cosette on bad business days. “That’s terrible, I’m so sorry,” she said, genuinely. She hoped things were ‘no big deal’, like Eponine said. At her question, she nodded. “I honestly can’t put into words how great he is,” she answered, feeling bad that her father was as wonderful as he was, and Eponine only had Mister Thenardier.

Her lips curled back into a smile at Eponine’s acceptance. “Great! Um… what works best for you?” She was unsure to go about this. Cosette was a people person, but it wasn’t every day that she made plans to catch up with someone that used to be her worst nightmare.

#Cosette #Eponine #{muse interaction};#gif chat

“No need to be sorry,” Eponine shook her head. “It is what it is, and it’s certainly not your fault.”

Eponine even managed to smile a little as Cosette spoke of her adoptive father. After everything she’d gone through as a young child, Cosette deserved to have a kind father. Her smile dissipated a bit, though, as she realized that she’d accepted and now they were making plans. She did her best to keep a friendly face- after all, she hadn’t had to accept the offer. Who knew... maybe it would be good for the both of them.

“Um, I don’t have work tomorrow, so I could meet you for lunch or something then, if you’d like,” Eponine answered.

At Eponine’s acceptance of the blankets, Jehan fetched a couple of warm, fluffy blankets from their cupboard, passing them over to Eponine. “Here we go!” They smiled, settling down on the sofa as they hit the power button on their TV. A rerun of some sitcom flickered to life on the screen and Jehan smiled softly.

“If you want anything, just say and I’ll grab it.” They offered.
