I am dressed as I am ordered when outside the house. As a lady. That is how my Mistress wishes me to look.
[Eponine tuts at him. She hisses her telling off at him.] Be careful, you lummoxing idiot. Do you wish to throw it or wear it? Now -
[Louder, she says] And I am such a good girl that I do everything my Lady Qi'ra bids me to do. Even such a small thing as to how I wear my hair. All is dictated by her and I follow it always.

[ Alright, he's not actually an idiot, and he clocks on to what she's trying to do here. That doesn't keep him from gently rolling his eyes though, not at her attempt but at what she's forced to do for that Domina of hers. He just takes her by the arm and leads her to cafe seats close by. Not the best angle, but two people draws far more attention than one. ]
What is all of this?
What is all of this?
Paint.
[She looks around anxious not to be overheard.]
Look in the bag. See the strange lid? There is a hole in it and when you press the top, paint comes out. It’s called spray paint. Apparently in the future, there is such things as this too. And in the bottles, more paint. Only they’re in medicine bottles so it looks like what I am going to work with.

[ He may not understand it, but he accepts it with a nod. He lowers his voice as he speaks, pointedly not looking forward to the elevator (his intensity turned to her in the process). ]
There are two guards only, we will need some sort of distraction, if we can find reason to send them on a chase, we may have needed window to do damage and escape.

I... What if we start a fight? Pick a target and punch him and slip away. Whilst the guards deal with it, we can make our mischief and run?
[Eponine is very much hoping that Agron will be doing all of the punching necessary.]
Or I could pretend to faint or something? But you will have to paint on your own then.

I see. [ Yeah, that'll do it. ]
I've said similar...I had a collar on at the time that would shock me when I spoke out. It was very inconvenient. Maybe we're both just troublemakers.
[ He has to smile at that though, he's been a sinful pain in the ass ever since the day he met Dean. Meeting that man changed him. ]
He's here. There were other angels here, but they're gone now. My brother Gabriel, and my sister Anael. I miss them.

They gave me a collar too, when I threw mine away. They said I had to keep it on, or they'd beat my ass in public. Except, the collar was broke. My ass is so sore by the end of the three weeks it is bleeding and scarred and bright red. Malcolm got scared, I think. They made him watch one. He was scared.
[She shrugs it off.] They are not very nice to submissives here, Castiel. Your punishment is dreadful. But if you like trouble, me, I am happy to help you make it.
[She just wants friends, honestly, and if it means getting into trouble to keep them, she will willingly do it.]
What were they like? I have some brothers and a sister too. She is Azelma, and she is stupid. Always she cries. She is cold or hungry or something hurts or someone spits at her. As if we are not all so. I do what I can to save her, but... [She shrugs.] She has to learn. I take her beatings when I can, she makes that much fuss. And I have Gavroche, but he ran away and he lives in the elephant now. Sometimes he lets me sleep there too, but usually, no. He don't want my Pa or 'Parnasse to find him and bring him back. And my Ma had two babies but she sold 'em. I don't know what happened to them. They're lucky if they're dead.

I've appreciated our time together, Ms Thenardier, however our contract is up in one week and I will not be requesting we renew it.
I wish you the best of luck with your future in this city.

[She feels like vomiting.]
I shan’t plead with you my lady.
But please know that I love you and I am sorry and I wish I was better.
I wish I could be your good girl.
I shall leave your house tidy and the books for Vandor and that there.
Perhaps one day we can join again. If I’m good.

I will hold the house and, if your new Dominant allows it, I will gift them the house for you.
Thank you for taking care of Vandor in your time there.
[ for all the time she's missed, qi'ra can't let her keep her job as manager. the house, however, she has no need of and it does suit eponine. ]

If you attempt to go now, you'll only end up in more trouble.
I know you're sorry but in order for this to stop happening, you must control your temper. You must learn to follow the rules or appear as if you are. You absolutely must learn to keep your own counsel and stop following the advice of those who continue to lead you down the path of trouble.
You know what's right, Ms Thenardier. You simply refuse to do it.

I hate it.
I hate that I am so restricted here that I cannot even walk away for a while. You know in Paris when I needed time and space to breathe I could just walk and walk.
Now I am trapped in a house I can’t never own and might be given back on the whim of a dominant. I am not blaming you, for you are giving me a house and my lady, that is too generous. And truly I’m that grateful.
But do you see how I mean?
In Paris I had nothing but I had some freedom.
Here everything is in my grasp but it can be pulled away in a heartbeat and I am trapped in one place.
Please. Keep this house. If my new dominant don’t let me have it, or keeps me only three months, like you, it will be lost to both of us. Please keep it, my Lady. My heart hurts too much to take it.

[ Oh, oh this is a call. And he is absolutely raising his voice when she answers. ]
What fucking stupid shit do you think you are doing?? Do you not listen when I speak?
What fucking stupid shit do you think you are doing?? Do you not listen when I speak?
How? How did he fucking start this?
[ You get one go at this, Eponine. ]
[ You get one go at this, Eponine. ]
Because you fucking insulted me and him to his fucking face. It is exactly what I would call being a little bitch. If anyone spoke to me that way about him I would break fucking nose. Did I not fucking warn you?
He was as he fucking should be, with such questions as you asked. Perhaps men in your life have been eunuchs, cuckolds and cowards, for you to think this a fucking game. Do you think me a fool? What have I done to you to earn such low fucking opinion?
No. You are my brother in arms, my brother in the gutter. I like you. Not love you like that. But... like we are together, no?
The men in my life are not cowards, but it is by shouting and being as vile as they that you are heard. Do you think, when they call me a gaping whore that I sit and say how handsome they are? When they call me an easy slut what opens her legs for any old cock, do you think I sit and nod my head mildly? Agron, I shout back and call them wrinkly bastards and no ballers. Neither of you will tell me so I thought to taunt it from him. No?

If your new Dominant won't let you have it, then it'll come to me until you have a Dominant that will.
[ That....calms him down a little. He's no less angry, but he's silent for a moment as he tries to calm himself down, because fuck the gods, he understands. So when he speaks again he is not shouting, but he is no less sharp. ]
You do not need to throw insult for me to hear you, but you may shout at me as much as desired if it suits. James will not rise to insult like I do, and I do not believe he would hesitate to cut fucking throat in response. Do not make me choose between you and him, because you will not like fucking result. I will not protect you from him when you act in error of your own making. Do you fucking understand me?
