[For once, Enjolras is completely bundled up in the majority of his clothing from home, and huddled in a blanket to boot. He looks somewhat resigned -- cold isn't too much of a problem, but he has grown far too used to being on the ship and in a somewhat moderate temperature, barring the last few weeks.]

I do not much mind a respite from the heat, but this seems somewhat excessive. I do not think I have been this cold since I was in Paris. Does anyone know of a place where the climate might be somewhat more, ah, temperate? I welcome any and all suggestions.

[Well, Combeferre is not going to leave something like that with Enjolras suffering.]

Mine is much improved from how it was last month, but still a little warmer than I recall if you'd like to come over and warm up. There IS a bed for you.

Company would certainly be welcome. I suppose it is a mercy Joly is not here, he would certainly be worried of catching cold.

[there's a fond little smile at that mention. He can picture it entirely too well.]

Ah, I think you're certainly right about that. Well please, come and get warm as you need it. You are surely welcome to that, and the company.

Very well, I shall be by shortly.

[Pepper has her hair tied back and has clearly been doing work.]

I think the gardens are still warm.

[There's a brief smile, and a nod in greeting.]

I thank you, mademoiselle, I shall head there shortly. I take it your rooms are not quite as affected as mine?

Re: [Video]

[the_other_eight]

Not at all. I've been moving from room to room.

[untamedantinous]

You are wiser than I, in that case. My friend has offered me a place in his room, at least, until this is fixed. ....If it is fixed, I suppose I should say.

Engineering.

[untamedantinous]

I have heard it is inaccessible, but I've a friend who works there. Perhaps it will not be for him.

The garden is very warm, if you'd like to visit there. There's even a stream to deep your feet into if you get at all uncomfortable.

[untamedantinous]

Thank you, mademoiselle. I suppose it must be warm there, mustn't it, to keep the plants alive.

Are you faring well, in this?

[braverys]

Yes, I think so. I was told that it was a little warmer than usual, so even that has been affected.

[ Her expression softens and she nods. ]

I'm well. My room is a little cold, but not so much that I can't stay there.

[untamedantinous]

I am pleased to hear it. If that should change, I could certainly bring you something to help.

[He takes a moment to pull his coat closer.] The gardens are sounding more likely a destination by the minute, I have not been this cold since December at home.

[On the contrary, Bahorel is streaming sweat and may as well be stark naked, as far as you can tell on screen, which shows him in his room.]

It is less the temperature more than it is the fluctuation. I wouldn't have chased after that spectre through the halls if I had known that returning to my quarters would result in a surprise steam bath.

[untamedantinous]

[Enjolras gives him a bit of a bemused blink, but doesn't otherwise comment. At least there aren't any naked ladies about.]

That is it, yes, it was quite fine in the hallways. When I returned to my rooms it was very nearly close to Paris in the middle of December.

[daringwaistcoats]

[Not all of us are so lucky as to have the proper clothing for the weather, okay. And a pity, that latter bit, really, though even the thought of that is far too much.]

And mine the dead of July, though at least there, we would get the occasional breath of air after the rain has fallen.

[untamedantinous]

I cannot think of any reason it would rain here, I am afraid, save for perhaps in the gardens.

I have heard it is more temperate there, if you should care to join me.

You might try the gardens, Enjolras.

They are still a bit unbearable in their heat, but it may be better for your health than the excessive chill.

[video] Threadjack!

[daringwaistcoats]

Ah, Jehan! Does the sweet Selene fair well where you are?

[In his room, sweating. Profusely. And from what you can see of him, he's mostly naked. Not a sprig of green behind him, though, you might notice.]

[vivelavenir]

[Well, that's not Enjolras. That's Bahorel.

...That's rather a lot of Bahorel.

Brows raising a little;]

I see you are one with Courfeyrac's answer to the heat...

Sweet Selene is always fair, and fairly stays far from brother Helios. I am hot, or I am cold at other times; and quite abandoned by Selene, in favour of that Helios, or Demeter's wrath.

[daringwaistcoats]

[Oh, certainly you've seen more, Jehan; how quickly poets forget those summers past!

A grin, remembering his state with Jehan's comment.]

Two quick minds are kin, then, though one perhaps is better provisioned to entertain even warmer pastimes. [A wink.]

That is good to hear. Helen I have returned to her birthplace, that she may wilt more comfortably in the heat there than in this foreign desert; still, she is not taking well, and I was worried that her daughter may be condemned to the same fate.

[lecentre]

But of course he has taken to my suggestion for dealing with the heat, cher. It merely makes sense to lose one's clothing when all it does is hinder.

[Do not mind him, he has watched this conversation quite a bit and simply could not help but comment on it himself.]

[Video]

[untamedantinous]

It may be, yes, but it is surely no colder than a winter in Paris.

[vivelavenir]

Surely not? And yet, we've no fires to thaw beside.
