[ R laughs harder than he can recall doing in sometime. Can you miss someone that you haven’t really met before? ]

Law? No, but that’s an interesting thought. Literature studies, actually.

[Enjolras feels like there's a joke - possibly at his expense - that he just hasn't been clued into, and it just makes his frown all the more petulant.]

Is there something wrong with Law? [Asks the Pol-Sci students prepping to argue his way through existence.]

...Literature. Huh. I guess that makes sense?

[There's something itching at the back at his mind, a ready explanation for why that makes sense, but he can't seem to quite get at it.]

At least, from the two seconds we've spoken it fits. You seem keen on word choice.

Well, Alex, we can speak again, if you'd like.

[ He knows Enjolras isn't going to offer, if past memories serve. He had much more important things to do. ]

Before the next meeting, I mean. ...If I'm invited back.

[Weird request, but if he wants to come back, well...it may just keep Courf off his back.]

Of course you're invited back, everyone's welcome. Would an hour beforehand suffice for trading points? I can bring my notes on next week's focal points if you'd like to discuss those.

[ R opens his mouth to clarify his intention, but he's not sure his pride could handle it. Let alone Enjolras'. ]

Perfect, next week then. Would you like to meet here? ... Or maybe in a coffee shop or the park across the street?

[ A last ditch effort to make him realize he's looking for something a bit personal? While salvaging dignity? Ah, not that Remi has much of that. ]

A cafe would be great: I have some early morning classes that day and I could use something to pick me up beforehand.

[So practical. So not getting R's meaning.]

Do you know the one down the street from here, on the corner? I forget the name, but it's got a good amount of seating and fairly cheap prices.

Perfect. The one that uses the knock-off mermaid logo that definitely has no relation to Starbucks.

[ Grinning.] So, next Tuesday, then? Unless you miss me. I can give you my number just in case.

[He guesses it would be practical to get contact info, if for whatever neither can end up making it....or if he really does intend to become a permanent fixture in the group.]

Next Tuesday. And that sounds fine, I can give you my number as well.

[He holds his hand out expectantly for a phone, his own phone in the other.]

[ Grantaire grins and puts an iPhone that hasn't had cases manufactured for it in a... couple of generations into the blond man's hand as he trades for the smartphone Enjolras holds out.

He types in his number under the contact "R" - because he's unrepentantly proud of that how many years later. ]

Let me know if you ever let yourself have a break from social justice; you could use more numbers in your phone.

[He takes the phone back, staring at the small black 'R' on the screen for longer than necessary. He feels like he's close to understanding something, but just like that it's gone again.]

If I need a break...right. [His eyes flick back up to Remi, far more curious.] I'll see you next week, Remi.
