Ah good. Whatever had taken hold of Enjolras was lessening, at least. Joly was not entirely certain that he had known how best to help, other than by saying what he had, so he was glad the words had seemed to have some effect. While he worried for the others too, it was a different sort of worry than the one that Enjolas had expressed to him. He trusted that Courfeyrac knew what to do with himself, and worried more that he might harm himself in carrying out some act of chivalry. Not that he would blame his friend for it, or attempt to do differently in the position, but it seemed Courfeyrac would be especially prone to it.
"You need not apologize, Enjolras." he answered, and he meant that. "I do see that you have our interests at heart in this, of course. It certainly is easy enough to see that that is your main concern in this.' He simply thought that it was not the only one, and that another part of it was slightly petty smaller concerns, though he'd never say such a thing.
"I could never think ill of you, though perhaps your approach could use a bit more...softening perhaps. The Courfeyrac I knew in Paris knew what he was doing too, and unless things have greatly changed, you may need to give him more trust. Even here, I would venture he can handle that."
