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.

hurr durr imma revolutionary

[seditiously]

[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.

oh my GOD, KID

[habitually]

[ 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. ]

cha cha real smooth

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.

sliiiiide to the left

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.

sliiiiide to the right

[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.]

criss cross!

[habitually]

[ 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.

everybody clap your hands!

[seditiously]

[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.
