Grantaire exposing their Master Plan to make up with Marius on Twitter
The first thing Grantaire does when they receive their first paycheck is to go wait for Marius at la Sorbonne with an iced Matcha tea and a pastry. When Marius finally comes out, Grantaire's hand is freezing. Marius takes the tea with a:
"Now who's a stalker?"
"I'm not a stalker; I only wait. I'm a waiter," Grantaire answers, handing them the pastry as well.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Forgiveness."
"Hard to obtain without apologizing in the first place if you ask me," she says, sipping tapioca spheres with her straw.
Grantaire wasn't expecting such a reaction. They're not sure they have the strength to self-whip for forgiveness right now, so they just say, "Sorry."
Marius considers them for an instant.
"You're really bad at apologizing. But you remembered my favorite flavor, so I guess you are forgiven!" she sings.
Grantaire sighs with relief. Actually, for the flavor, it was pure luck!
"Anyway, I need someone to rant to. My grandfather is trying to get me back because he's sick and I feel like the most awful human being for not really wanting to come back. My grades are getting worse and worse. Courfeyrac keeps insisting on me living with them while I don't want to rely on someone else and... nothing is happening with the lady... at the park. And that's the most upsetting to me right now. Am I dumb?"
"Why don't you talk to Hamid Saraj?"
"I don't want to bother them," Marius admits with an embarrassed grin.
"And it's ok to bother me instead?"
"Well, you owe me one. More than one."
"Touché."
They wander and end up near the docks, as usual. It's always where they end up. Marius is embarrassed by the fact that the thing that makes her feel sad is actually that she's not loved in return. Grantaire is happy for her that she's still in the mood to be tormented by such trivial matters.
Grantaire seeks inspiration. They were supposed to publish a video today but they didn't have the time. It's way less fun now that they have to be checked and verified by the association. They walk past the used-book sellers. Now, they all sell tiny Eiffel Towers and cat magnets with berets and baguettes. Welcome to France. Grantaire sometimes like to rub their nose against old books pages. This is addictive. Not weed level of addictive but still sweet. Except they never buy the books and they're known like the white wolf around and have to be discreet. Well beware, the infamous book sniffer is back.
