I’d forgotten that Combeferre just PEACES OUT OF THE ROOM immediately after murdering Marius in cold blood with “to be free” and deals his musical final blow FROM THE STAIRS.

(I had not forgotten that Enjolras tag teams with “Citizen, my mother is the Republic,” but it will NEVER NOT BE HILARIOUS and I will use any excuse to mention it again.)

The fact that everybody else leaves too, leaving Enjolras alone with Marius as Combeferre-whisperer, only strengthens my assumption that they have an official protocol for Combeferre comebacks.

enjolras, pointing through the window: oh look, grantaire is reading a christmas story to les amis
courfeyrac: see, i told you we could trust him to lead while we were gone
combeferre: i wonder what he’s reading…
grantaire, inside: t’was the night before bitchmas and all through the hut, one creature was stirring: me, busting a nut-

incorrectly-quoted-les-mis:

Courfeyrac: I like to use menimonic devices or little tricks to help me remember.

Combeferre: *concerned look*

Courfeyrac: Like the other day I met this guy named Carl. Now I might forget that name but he was wearing a Grateful Dead T-shirt. What’s a band like the Grateful Dead? Phish. Where do Phish live? The ocean. What else lives in the ocean? Coral! Hello, Carl!

Combeferre: It’s mnemonic.

*later* *Courf’s phone rings*

Courfeyrac: Okay he looked like the drummer from Foreigner. A foreigner is not from France. France rhymes with ants. Ants ruin a picnic *picks up the phone* What’s up, Nick?

Gavroche and Courfeyrac: *High five*

Combeferre: *concerned look intensifies*

Grantaire: Do you think Enjolras noticed that I freaked out a little when he asked me out?
Combeferre: You mean the way your eyes popped out of your head and you sprinted away at full speed? Yeah, I think he noticed.
Grantaire: Damn it.
