"I'll take you, Adi. Your papa's meetings are boring and I certainly don't want to go." listen to him plan to die again.
"We'll have a proper picnic."

*Adi beamed, wriggled out of her chair and went to sit on Grantaire's lap.*
*Enjolras just continued eating his toast.*

He chewed bacon and bounced the child on his knee, grinning and making plans with her for a fancy cab, and what sort of food they should have, whether or not he should wear a hat and all manner of little details entertaining to a child before he supposed he should go up and get himself dressed a little better.
He set the girl back on her own chair and and leaned over, unthinkingly, to kiss her father before moving along.

*Enjolras wasn't thinking either, which is why he leaned up to do the same.*
*Adi looked at them funny, shrugged, and went back to eating her bacon.*

When he returned just a short while later, he was dressed a bit more finely than usual. Of course, the suit Morangias had given him was ruined, but he still had the stiff black thing he usually wore to work, and with a borrowed bright red vest under the coat, he looked a bit more dapper.

*Adrienne had been taken up by her nurse to dress in her best light blue muslin and fix her brown curls so they wouldn't be in her face. She bounced on the balls of her patent-leather-clad feet, smiling, once she got back downstairs. Enjolras went to put a proper vest and cravat on. He scooped Adi up and kissed her on the nose.*
"Have fun, Adi-bug. Be a good little princess." *He said, before leaving out the front door.*

Grantaire smiled after him and then scooped up the little girl himself, grinning.
He grabbed the basket Bertha had prepared for them and then they were off. The Lux first, and then the horse stable.

*She verily skipped after him once he set her down, beaming all the way.*

**NEW DAY**
*Enjolras sat at the table, looking over the morning's letters. None interested him--bills that should have been forwarded to his solicitor, an invitation to attend a Suffragette rally, and some personal letters for Adrienne which he'd give to her later--except one, at the bottom. It was from his overseer in Australia, the site of some of his mining investments...*
*He frowned heavily at them. It appeared he was required to go to Australia.*
