[ He smiles and splays his hands on the table, feeling the grains of wood under his fingertips. ]

It isn't just about arguing. Debates are admittedly fun, but I'm not arguing for the sake of it. I find your cause worthwhile, despite my personal lack of faith; I've taken note that people like you and your group tend to stop the world from falling into abysmal chaos. Even if it's a small and insignificant part like some crude humor and finding faults and pitfalls in your ideas, perhaps I just want to be a part of something meaningful.

[ R looks back up at Alexandre, quirking a dark eyebrow anxiously. ]

[He looks at him appraisingly, trying to decide if the praise offered so soon after his skepticism is mocking or genuine. Whatever he finds seems to satisfy him, and his shoulders visibly relax.]

Well, maybe it's a bit of egotism, but I think we can offer that. That being said, one's impact is only as good as the dedication you put into it. Our next meeting is Tuesday, but I'm sure Thomas already told you as much. You're welcome to sit in once or twice before you sign up.

I'll keep that in mind. Sitting in sounds perfect.

[ Rubbing his jaw thoughtfully and studying Enjolras for a moment before continuing. ]

Tuesday, then. It's the LeCroix building, I believe?

[seditiously]

Yeah, LeCroix, we'll start roll and admin at 1900, then just go straight into the main points of discussion.

[A poignant pause as Enjolras continues to stare at him.]

...Was there anything else you needed to talk to me about besides the meeting?

[habitually]

Excellent. [ He says briskly with a soft clap of his hands, falling headfirst back into his long-dead game of mocking the leader. ]

Ah, you know, I did- but it's all right. We can talk after the meeting. I'll see you Tuesday?

lame reply is lame

[Enjolras' confusion at Remi's less than straightforward answer clearly shows on his face; he lets it slide, but the curiosity gnaws at him.]

Uh, yeah, sure. [He grabs the paper he'd be reading earlier our of habit rather than rudeness.] See you then, Remi.
