[Well, isn't this a sight for sore eyes. Courfeyrac's been gone for what-- nearly a month now? He doesn't look any more refreshed than before he left. He's out, leaning against the Aphrodite cabin in the shade.]

Bonjour, camp... I apologize that I was gone longer than I originally anticipated. My sisters did not want to let me come back....

[But his step-mother on the other hand...]

I return with gifts, of course. Will someone assure me I didn't miss anything exciting while home?

[He doesn't open his eyes, or even try to back track on any of it... Instead he just sighs.]

Missed you too.

[ospreyed]

No, [Eponine says quietly after a moment, setting her macaroon back in the box.] You didn't.

[dandylicious]

And you know this how?

[He's still pretty irritable. Sorry.]

You're my friend. Of course I missed you.

[ospreyed]

I can guess.

I donno. I wouldn't miss me if I was in France for a month.

[dandylicious]

Well you're wrong. But like hell am I gonna argue with you on this.

[ospreyed]

Fair.

How were your sisters?

[dandylicious]

They're good... They miss having me around-- but it's not like I was ever allowed to be around much when I was at home in the first place.

[ospreyed]

That's good.

To keep 'em safe?

[dandylicious]

Yeah-- and because my parents were happier when I wasn't there.

It's why I went home when they were on an extended business trip.

[ospreyed]

I know that feeling.

[Ep presses her lips together, setting the macaroons down and sticking her hands in her back pockets. Her weight shifts slightly to her heels, then back to the balls of her feet.]

Your parents are assholes, then.
