He did try to have that focus, yes. It had been something that had, perhaps, hurt in the earlier days, when his focus had been narrow, relegated mostly to friends and immediate concerns here. These days, Enjolras had been trying a bit more to work things out in the larger world. He was not sure how well he did, though.

The familiarity of those he cared about? That WAS special, though. He smiled at Midii's statement there,looking thoughtful.

"I think I should have been proud to have a sister like you. I am not sure how well I might have done in such a world as the one that you survived, but, perhaps together, it could have been done. I would hope any theoretical older brother for you would do much the same."

He would have liked to have seen a world in need of change, after all. Enjolras had forever looked for something to speak up for, or against, in a world that had shifted at his earliest age, from Napoleon to the King, to constitutional monarchy that was ruled by the rich and none of those had fit France right. He was used to changes, and to seeking ways to improve the world around him. Perhaps it would have worked out after all.

"I think you would have done better than you give yourself credit for."

He would have had to, if he were a member of her family.

"I suppose I should have had a great many reasons to do so." After all, Midii and her other brothers besides. "I'd always sort of wanted siblings, after all. What greater inspiration would there be?" There'd been his cousin for a bit, when he was a baby and his aunt had stayed with them while her husband was away but that was different still.

"You would have loved mine."

A pause, and she thought back and (jokingly) amended: "...well, you would have loved Michel. I'm not so sure about the twins."

[solo_patria]

"Well, I DID manage to handle my friends and still love them much of the time, and some of their antics were rather suspect, particularly in adults who ought have known better." Enjolras joked too. "I suspect I might have managed."

[unetrustworthy]

"Even if they targeted you for one of their pranks?"

[solo_patria]

"Ooh Courfeyrac and Bahorel were notorious for doing that. So much cleverness, and so much idle time on their hands. It was bound to lead to trouble at some point or other. Gavroche was rather good at that sort of thing too."

Enjolras ducks his head, a deep laugh coming straight from his gut as he considers things now.

"And get them all together...well, they certainly were creative."

[unetrustworthy]

She, too, let out a faint chuckle.

"Yes, I remember Gavroche. I think I even told him that he reminded me of my brothers once."

Enjolras often missed him as he did the others, though he'd not had as much time with him here. He supposed that it had counted for its quality instead though.

"It is so hard to believe it has been so long since some have been here, isn't it? Still, I AM glad of the present company. "
