Back to normal
Who? Eponine and whoever wants to talk to her
What? Eponine returns to the Capitol and (for once) the stylists have listened to her requests and just left her alone.
Where? wandering the streets
Warnings? I can't imagine that there will be too many.
It had taken her a lot of staring into the mirror in her bedroom to convince Eponine that she was not hallucinating. It had taken her a lot of pinching and prodding and poking her finger through the gaps in her teeth to convince her that it wasn't a dream. She was back. She looked how she had done in France, sunken cheeks, matted hair and big bags beneath her eyes and scars from living rough, and her Pa's belt when he was cross. She wasn't beautiful any more, but then, what did it matter? Men refused to love her, beautiful or no.
Rather, she was elated. FINALLY, someone had listened. FINALLY someone had given her even a little bit of control over some aspect of her life. She didn't like how she looked - but it felt a little bit more honest at least.
Having dressed in just a simple brownish pinafore dress, Eponine wandered out into the Capitol to find food and a friend.
It was so lovely to be able to walk along and not be stared at for a change.

Her brow furrowed and she shook her head, dropping her voice. "It must make some difference, being here. And we can show them that they can't just make us do all of this without a consequence of their own."

She shook her head, mimicking Cosette;s defensive gesture. "Perhaps for you, things can change. You got out of the gutter, did you not? You pretend to be a lady - and do not worry, I will not give away your secret... for now. But for me... we were always bad, no? I suppose it has caught up with my family now. Things, for me, only change when they get worse. There will be no 'better' for me."
