He was taken out of the room after the test - he thinks it was a test but he's not really all that sure. He followed behind the talll, imposing people, keepin' his mouth shut as they directed him into that box thing they'd lead him into before. He didn't like the boc thing, it moved strangely and made his stomach feel all funny, and it did enough of that anyway.

He was given a room though, and as he held the card he couldn't help but eye them up. No one just gave someone a room. There had to be a catch, there was alwayus a catch. What did he have to give them in return for the room? He poked a dirty finger on the clean sheets covering the bed, surprised at the softness he felt there. He was left alone, standing in the middle of the room, looking around as if he'd never seen anything like it before.

"Well, enough o' tthis," he muttered to himself, pocketing the card and making his way out of the room, and out of the building. Time to get to know this new city; maybe he could find a way home to Paris.

"There are worse strategies." It had taken him a few days of exploring and beng bombarded with the stimulation of the Capitol for Enjolras to bother considering what was to befall them as well. In the end, he figured that while he could try to mentally prepare for the situation of having to take a life, it likely wouldn't do him any good. On the barricade, things had been easier, there had been something worth fighting for. Here, he didn't have the same clarity of purpose. Here, death wouldn't be a necessity of the revolution, a martyrdom for the Republic, it would just be superfluous.

He tore himself away from his thoughts, which strayed all too easily into unpleasant territory. With a distant, restrained sort of fondness, he regarded Gavroche. "Have you eaten breakfast? We should partake in the excess of the Capitol while we are able."
