Yann took it as if it was something sacred and examined it the same way. "That's beautiful..." he whispered. "Hard to believe it's evil money."

"What do you mean?" She asked, confused by the wording.

"Money..." He gestured. "It causes so many problems, induced by greediness... Money is evil."

She blinked at him, not quite knowing how the conversation had turned this way.
"Maybe so, but it also can do a lot of good. It's not always in the wrong hands."

"I'm sorry," he sighed. "I have seen what money does to people... it is usually not a pretty sight. One person who didn't get corrupted was my mother's boss... He was a good man, the head of a factory that thrived under his leadership. Everyone loved him. But then he disappeared and took most of the money with him." He was silent for a moment. "I actually tried to find him here in Paris, but I wasn't able to."

Her expression softened.
"People...don't always disappear because they want to." She said quietly.
"Like me."

He hadn't considered that and wondered if M Madeleine was perhaps abducted or something. "But... where did the money go if it wasn't a plan?" he asked out loud, not really expecting an answer, just being clueless.

"I don't know much about running a business," she said truthfully.
"But I'm sure there was a good reason behind it."

"I'm sure there was... He wasn't the type of person to just abandon everyone..." He smiled thinly. "He taught me to read and write... I owe him my entire life and I haven't been able to thank him."

She nodded.
"Our troubles can interfere with the rest of our lives, sometimes. I bet that's what happened with him." She said thoughtfully.

"I really hope he is still alive..." He swallowed at the thought that his saviour might be dead. Then he really has no opportunity to thank the man anymore.

"I don't see why he wouldn't be," she said softly, sensing his feelings.
"I disappeared from my home and I'm all right, aren't I?"

"That is true," he said, relieved. "He will probably turn up somewhere some day, and then I can properly thank him." He reached into his coat and took the letter that he had written years ago. "Then I can give him this."

"I'm sure you'll get your chance."
((Y'know, it's weird--with as major as Valjean is, we've never really had him on here. There's an account, but it was never really used. And we have tons of Mis chars.))

He seemed rather happy with her trust and fingered the envelope. "You can read it, if you want..." ((Maybe because he really is a terribly dull character? ))
