Courfeyrac ponders free will, tries to find the right words, and prays - makes a point - argues a case - something like that.

“Hello. Sir. M'lord? King of kings? No, I can’t call you that, that’s sort of against what we’re going for tonight. It’s not that I want to be rude, I just have some opinions about the implications of… Well, what then? “Citizen” hardly does it, you’re sort of beyond that kind of political identity. Or maybe not! That is, if you’re all , then you would be political, but also apolitical, as well as everything between and past the two. So how should we go about it? Will just “God” do, is that alright? I can’t tell if that puts us on first- or last-name terms, but I assume that’s the genius of a uniform title, it really does save you from a lot of awkward stumbles in the spheres of formality and informality.

It’s Courfeyrac, by the way.

Maybe I’m being redundant.”

I understand that Victor Hugo said "Enjolras only ever bestowed two kisses and it was to this old man who he admired in a 'Ideal of the Revolution' Moment" but I'm electing to ignore it because the idea of Enjolras showing deep admiration and affection to his friends by randomly kissing their brows or their hand is just too delightful NOT to think about for days

Obviously it IS a rare enough occurence yet also not that rare that there is a board somewhere where every ami has been put on and they're counting their kisses. Combeferre is highest, but Courfeyrac fights hard. Feuilly is very abashed (and secretly a bit pleased) to be third. Grantaire has zero kisses. He's super normal about it.

Obviously Obviously Enjolras is actually aware of the board and he's not above using One Kiss One Time to Mess with Everybody and throw all their calculation off the window. all of that is done, from one end to another, with pure fondness and lots of gentle rolling of the eyes.

He composed, in his own mind, with Combeferre’s philosophical and penetrating eloquence, Feuilly’s cosmopolitan enthusiasm, Courfeyrac’s verve, Bahorel’s smile, Jean Prouvaire’s melancholy, Joly’s science, Bossuet’s sarcasms, a sort of electric spark which took fire nearly everywhere at once.- Enjolras and his Lieutenants, 4.1.6

I’ve heard people joke about what a horrible speech that would be, but… that’s The Speech, that’s the Quel Horizon speech. They’re all in there. (I don’t know where he got the Goats of Darkness, but I am inclined to blame the Romantics.) I’ll probably post these separately later with more about the quotes and all (and for now please do click through for the bigger images) but for now, Happy First Barricade Day!

Hopefully pt 1; I’ll see tomorrow.

Anyway, The Speech under the cut!
