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?

[abaisse]

Not exclusively.

[justtolove]

You see?! You don't even know what fun IS!

[abaisse]

I'm not sure how you drew that conclusion after hearing about my dinner plans last night.

[justtolove]

Wow. WOW!
You know who you remind me of? My father. He never did anything but work and lecture. Next you'll be saying Montmartre is a den of sin.

[abaisse]

You know that I dont't care what the people of Monmartre do with their lives.
