*He stared into his drink, feeling a bit embarrassed all of a sudden*
"'Ponine was kind enough to let me stay at her apartment. I can't imagine how she can even stand to speak to me, all things considered. But when I speak of getting another place..."

*He smiled a little, remembering the street rat who had followed Marius like a faithful puppy.*
"She always was one to mother. She wanted everyone around her to be as happy as possible, even at great cost to herself."

"You'll find a place and a job eventually, and lead a boring existence for the rest of eternity." *He teased. Anyone looking casually would have guessed that he was serious, but someone who knew him well could spot the light in those dark, near-unreadable eyes.*
