*Brand nodded and headed to the stairs, but looked back.*
"I hope that pot roast is all right. I think I have some cured ham as well. I'll try to pull some things out so you'll have some choices. Just head down whenever you're ready."
*She smiled and started down the stairs.*

*Marius set down his things and poured some water into the wash basin from the pitcher and washed his hands and face. He put on a clean shirt and vest and then went back downstairs, timidly knocking on the kitchen door.*
"Mademoiselle Brandi?"

((I'm off at my apartment making breakfast, btw. Renns still deadish from being drunk and all. That and she's at school taking exams.))

*Brandi looked up with a grin. She had gone a little overboard with foodstuffs, but she hadn't read Les Mis since high school. I mean, she'd watched the film in the last year, but that was really just for Geoffrey Rush. How was she supposed to know what Marius would want to eat? The table was covered with all sorts of food.*
"Monsieur Pontmercy. I...I hope that I found something you'd like."

((Exams while dead from drunk? Nice. (j/k.)))

((Well she's pretty much magical and can do anything. Except find love. She's the metaphorical Eponine now. All alone and such.))

*Marius looked with wide eyes at the table, half expecting it to groan under the weight of the piles of food.*
"It looks lovely, thank you."
*He took some ham and a piece of bread and some pickles and began to munch on them.*

*Brandi was content that he seemed to have found something in the pile to eat. Her brow rose inquisitively.*
"Something to drink? Wine? Tea? Coffee?"

"Er...tea would be fine. Thank you."
I think I've had enough wine tonight.

*Brandi nodded and put the kettle on. She spoke without looking back to him.*
"How do you take it?"

"Sugar and milk, please."

*Brandi nodded once more and grabbed the milk and sugar, setting them on the table. She sucked her lip for a moment. She hated these lulls where she knew she should say something, but what? She knew almost nothing about him, other than he was here to play with Eppy and apparently drink a lot. She smiled.*
"So are you here on business or pleasure?"

*Marius nearly choked on a pickle.*
"Er...well...I'm returning to the city...you see, uh...my...my wife died recently, so...I had to get away. And, uh. I don't know."

Mouth...insert foot...
*Brandi blushed and lowered her head.*
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean...I can just fix your tea and go. I didn't mean to be so rude."

*Marius shook his head.*
"No--no. You didn't know. It's alright."
