But the passion and inspiration you ask of people is an emotion, too! One that eludes people every day! Isn't that also mystical? A fire in the heart that drives one to glorious action is not so different from the passion of love!

[abaisse]

The key difference being that it's used for something productive and helpful.

[justtolove]

Love is the most helpful thing in the world!

[abaisse]

Tell that to the Trojans.

[justtolove]

That wasn't about love. Sure, Helen was the most beautiful woman in the world. People wanted to possess her! That's nothing like love. Love goes so much deeper than that! Love means you would do anything to see them happy, even if it means not being with them!

[abaisse]

The fundamental thing you're missing is that I don't want to care about one other single person to the exclusion of all others. I have a purpose and I'm content to see it realised.

[justtolove]

You can still love someone and care about other things. It's not an exclusion of anything. But I don't think you're quite ready for love. Small steps. Maybe you need to start with that whole "fun" thing we were talking about.

[abaisse]

I have fun. There. Success. Now we can end this inange conversation.

[justtolove]

Just cause you say it doesn't make it true!

[abaisse]

Are there regulations on the approved type of fun I'm supposed to have?

[justtolove]

The kind where you relax and put your books down for a while.

[abaisse]

Your ignorance to how I spend my time does not mean I am married to my work.

[justtolove]

All this time you've been saying you're in love with your work! Sounds to me like Enjolras hides in his work!

[abaisse]

That might be the most ridiculous thing you've said yet

[justtolove]

Why else won't you take a break?

[abaisse]

Because there's actual, lasting change that can be made, and through consistent hard work I can bring it about. People's lives can be changed for the better.

[justtolove]

You're not helping anyone by working yourself to an early grave!

[abaisse]

And if that's what I was doing, I'd agree with you.





[But he's 100% not doing that so it's fine.]

[justtolove]

When was the last time you did something that wasn't work?

[abaisse]

Right now. This conversation.

[justtolove]

Before this! When was the last time you just...hung out with your friends.

[abaisse]

Yesterday.

[justtolove]

You mean when they were making "sweet music" and you were ignoring them?

[abaisse]

When they'd finished it, of course. We ate together.

[justtolove]

Did you talk about your work over dinner?
