Joly had realized, at some point in the arena, after that video had been shown, that there was something between Enjolras and Venus, and he had not entirely accepted that it was a matter of mentor and tribute alone. What it actually was in any case was still something of a mystery to him, of course, but this was causing him to come to a few, probable conclusions, or at least He felt them probable.
Whether or not Enjolras would confirm them was another matter, of course, and Joly would not dream of fully pressing him here, but even so, his expression remained a little quizzical as he glanced at the screen, quirking a brow as Enjolras began to raise his voice a little.
"Duplicity, yes." He agreed, even as he privately imagined that Enjolras was either putting a spin on it that he was comfortable with, or hiding things not of an immediate to their goals nature from Joly, knowing what he might do with the information.
If Enjolras was taking the second option, Joly did have to admit that his behavior when it came to romantic entanglements of his friends in Paris did set rather an example that would scare their leader off from saying anything. He did wish he could have heard her response more clearly all the same, to glean some better idea of it. As it was though, well...
"I shall have to hear more of you and your mademoiselle at any case." he said, keeping the words light so that to any who might overhear, it would sound simply as if he were teasing Enjolras about a conquest. "But no, this is hardly a proper place for talk of such things." This, accompanied by a light, teasing shove, might get him into a small bit of trouble at the moment, but better that than he demand the entire story here, correct?
