Sounds like you both have crushes that you really need to sort out.
Ep: Hahaha…. crushes?? What?? I have no idea what you’re talking about?
R: Ponine. We are the only two members of a fucking Lonely Hearts Club. We are alone on a Friday night. And you can’t talk to Marius without blushing furiously. We invited them to join our club, so it might be courteous to be honest.
Ep: Oh, you want honesty, do ya?
Ep: Our good friend Grantaire here is painfully, pitifully in love with a certain blonde, fiery revolutionary. It’s excruciating to watch. Enjolras loves him back, by the way-
R: -I’m not good enough for-
Ep: -and the only people who don’t know it are them. My hands are tied! I’ve tried everything. They just refuse to believe me.
R: He doesn’t think of me like that, Ep, really. I appreciate what you’re trying to do. But it’s not going to happen.
Ep: See what I mean?? Oblivious. We should get Enjolras to go to the next meeting and see what he thinks about all this.
R: Ep, please don’t. You don’t have to do that.
Ep: That settles it, I’m making extra cookies next time. In the meantime, let’s answer some more questions!!
R: Maybe I could just disappear before the next meeting?
