Fitz sighed. "I don't think he's that nice. He got mad at me 'cause I disagreed with him about somethin' that doesn't matter anymore. I mean, slavery ended in America before I was even born, and he gets mad because I think it's wrong!" he rambled, his voice crescendoing to an angry yell.

**PONINE**
*She put a hand on his shoulder.*
"It's alright to disagree with people. I think it's wrong too. He's a bit old-fashioned, I agree."

He shut his eyes and opened them again. "I know he is. But did he have to yell so much? He called me an abolitionist—I dunno what that means, but it doesn't sound very nice." He wiped the tears that were starting to collect in his eyes.

**EPPY**
*Eponine's heart clenched for Fitz. She picked him up, sat him on her lap, and gave him a big hug.*
"It means someone who wants to abolish slavery, and it's perfectly alright to be an aboltionist. Your father wasn't angry at you, only. He was angry at all the abolitionists, like Abraham Lincoln and lots of other brave people. I think it was brave of you to stand up to him." *She said, tucking hishead under her chin.*

He hugged her back. Suddenly, he had a thought. "...Mama's last name is Lincoln. D'you think that's why Papa doesn't like her and me? 'Cause she's a Lincoln and I'm an abolitionist?"

**EPPY**
*She squeezed him.*
"That may be it." *She pulled him back and wiped a few tears off his face with her worn thumb.*
"I think it's perfectly fine for your mother to be a lincoln, and for you not to support slavery. It's a barbaric practice and I'm glad it's over and gone."

He grimaced. "Funny, huh? Half of me is from the family of an assassinated American leader, and the other half is the assassin himself. No wonder I'm having a crisis!" he said, still sniffing a bit.

*Eponine laughed.*
"Well you can always come over here if you need a break from being involved in history. Renn, Aimee, and I would be glad to have you. Maybe you'll even meet Marius!"

His sad face instantly lit up. "Okay! I'll keep that in mind." He looked at the wallclock. "Uh-oh! I'd better get going 'fore I miss dinner!" He kissed her cheek. "Thanks for everything, Auntie! See you around!" With that, he slid off of her lap and rushed out the door.
