[Hope had been a major part of what kept Enjolras steady on the barricades and spurred him through a lot of situations, yes. He may not have realized the extent of that hope back then, but since he's been here, he has learned a LOT about who he is, and was, and the things that sustained him. A life without hope, even if he did not quite realize how deeply he hoped then, is a hard thing to face, especially in those circumstances . Give a man a life without hope and they turn into, well... Grantaire came to mind, actually. Midii herself did not seem that way, of course, but well, he was interested to learn more of her, really, given the talks they'd had so far. Enjolras leaned forward in his seat a bit to study her.]
That sounds... [He's frowning a little, trying not to make this seem dismissive or as if he does not care and the words show it as the come out.] much like the world that Epoinine knew. The nature of war is terrible, more to its effects afterwards in most cases, I think. I am sorry to hear of that.
