"You think I need soften still, he thinks that I have become too soft." He smiled mirthlessly. The irony of Courfeyrac, of all people, declaring him too soft wasn't something that would easily escape him. Combeferre had been the one to argue for temperance, but it was their centre who had always extolled the benefits of kindness when it could be afforded.
But it wasn't fair to remark on such things now. Panem changed people, the Games changed people. For all any of them knew, Marius would someday be the one out for the blood of their captors, with Joly as his right hand and Enjolras himself trailing behind preaching clemency. It was a dreadful thought.
He turned his attention back to the screen, trying to think quickly of a way in which his plans could work with this new development. Gears danced behind grey blue eyes, and in an instant, he seemed to look older, the stress of it all suddenly weighing on him. Cinderella should involve herself with Courfeyrac. Courfeyrac should be the one to write their documents. No one knew his style and it would make it more difficult to trace back to them. It would also give Enjolras more freedom to express himself openly. It was logical, he couldn't argue with logic. There was only one path to be taken, even if it made him nervous.
"What do you suppose will be said of them?" He asked with a false nonchalance. Joly could start this before either of them were even back. With luck, it might even help them in the Arena.
