Babe, you GET me. I assume you mean “that time where modern AU Enjolras made the most ridiculous wish ever and subsequently made Grantaire’s life miserable,” of course.
- Here’s the
thing. Enjolras doesn’t believe in what
he can’t see and touch and handle with his own two hands. The ideal
of freedom is only something he believes in because he can see it on the
smaller scale, but he’s not religious or spiritual or what have you because it
just doesn’t even occur to him.
- So when Marius tells
him to be careful what he wishes for, all wide eyes and earnest voice, because Marius’
mother used to tell him warning stories about the Goblin King, Enjolras laughs
at him. He’s particularly unkind about
it because Marius interrupted a meeting where they were actually getting things done for once with this nonsense, and
because it’s the twenty-first century and they’re past fairy stories. Marius is offended, and insists that he knows those stories are true.
- “Is that so,” Enjolras says flatly, and Marius nods emphatically. “Fine, we can test that. I wish–”
- “Enjolras, don’t,” Marius yelps.
- “—that the Goblin King would come and take all of France away, right now.”
