*She sighed again* I came in right after he said "It's just...ever since Cosette died...I never thought I'd feel anything ever again." And just everything! Who were you talking about? And who is Cosette?

*He sighed.*
"Cosette is a woman whom he met the day that the barricades fell. He thought himself in love with her, managed to survive while sacrificing his best friend who was also in love with him, and actually in love, and then married Cosette two weeks later. As far as I can tell, she didn't remain faithful during the marriage, and gave him Syphilis. It crushed him when he found out, not that he wasn't already shattered from the fact that Cosette died in childbirth with a stillborn baby, whom he now suspects was not his child."
*He looked up at her, wanting her to understand.*
((Waiiit. Did Bella srsly not catch on that they were talking about her?))

((Yeah. I don't think either of them said her name...right? But she's kinda stupidoblivious.))
*Her eyes widened and she looked totally sad* That's horrible! Poor Marius!

*Enjolras shook his head.*
"It was completely obvious to everyone else from the get-go that Eponine, his best friend, was irrevocably devoted to him, no matter what stupid thing he did next. She was the one who found Cosette for him, and led him to meet her, and she died delivering a letter from him to Cosette--she was the first to fall that night, and the only attention she ever got from him was when she was dying in his arms."
*He shook his head running his fingers through his hair.*
"He was young and immature then, and I'm not sure he's changed much."
((I think they did say her name, though.))

((...Oh. Whoops. Sorry!
So I'm she's just stupid oblivious or something.))
*She nodded slowly* That is so sad, though. Poor Eponine. Poor Marius. *She sighed* But I guess people are sometimes blind to what is right in front of them.
((Oh, snap. Did she just say that? ;D ))

*He nodded.*
"Exactly. So he's a bit... off, at the moment. Not himself. I even think Eponine's here, somehow. She had a baby, or something. I don't think he's seen her yet... and Marius can be blinder than the rest of us, in that he's a single-focused person."

*Bella nodded again, looking concerned* Poor thing. Has he talked about it at all? That might help him.

*Enjolras looked at her.*
"He either falls in love with you, sings, or both. Nobody can talk to him--he broods and we have to let him. It was always that way, even before he met Cosette."
*He put his hand on hers.* "I really am sorry about all this--I know it must be overwhelming."

He always sings? Really? I mean...he has a lovely voice, and everything, but I'm surprised nobody has tried to stop him. It's an...interesting habit. *She shrugged* But it's fine, really. It's nice to have somethign to think about.

*He nodded.*
"Much to the chagrin of everyone around him, he's always been a singer. The only person who was always around him was Eponine, and I have no idea how she put up with it, following him around like puppy dog the way she did. It's maddening, espcially the one about the tables."
*He lowered his eyes to their hands.*
"I know he said he loved you, but please... he hasn't gotten over his wife yet, he's still getting used to the fact that he isn't numb anymore. Don't give him reason to do anything stupid."

*She nodded* Of course, of course. But anyway, it's not like I'm really free to be in a...a relationship right now. I have some...stuff to sort out before I can do anything.

*Enjolras nodded.*
"I understand. Christian needs to be on like now." *He said, looking back up at her.*
"And even if you were going to be in a relationship--he really isn't the best person to be in a relationship with. He's dramatic, and he needs someone who's really willing to work to keep him stable. I think he may be bipolar."
*He looked at her intently.*
"Really, Bella--if you need me to find this Christian and bring him here, I will. I...I just want you to be happy." *He said quietly, looking back down at their hands."

Ahhh, I know. ELISE! ON! NOW! PLEASE! Or I'm just dropping Christian. Mkay? Mkay. Thankies. ... *She sighed, looking away* I don't know how to be happy any more. But I-I do need to talk to him. I need...I just need to tell him some...stuff.

*He looked into her eyes for a very long time.*
"For a long time, I didn't know how to be happy either--and then I happened to catch the runaway letter of a beautiful girl on the street."

*She looked up quickly, meeting his gaze, but did not blush* Listen. You don't want me. I can't make you happy.
