No... she's not woken up yet. But she has a bitch what barks every time I go near. She will have me whipped and jailed if I go near. And if I return it, she won't believe me that I took it to keep it safe.
[Eponine shrugs]
I am going to bury it in the graveyard. No lady will go digging there. But just in case, you might not want me no more, Kosem. Just in case that horrible woman says its me without proof.
It's possible she hasn't noticed it's missing. Eponine, I think you should return it. Whether she knows or not. Please take it back to where you found it instead of burying it. Otherwise, you will eventually find trouble.
[It might be impossible to convince her. Still, she will try.]
Which lady is it?
[Again, she might not tell her.]
I'm still willing to give you a contract, but I want you to return the items.
No. No, I will just bury them in the graveyard. No one will know they are there, and if they are found, no one will know who put them there. Even you won't know it's me, for I ain't told you what it is. It is good to have for a rainy day, I think. Just in case we should need 'em, no? Anyway, it is wrong to dig in a grave, Me, I don't care but others will have more care in it.
It isn't yours though. You don't have a need for it. I work enough to help keep us comfortable. You can have nice things and never worry about food. I won't accept anything stolen; the longer you keep it, the worse your punishment will be. Don't forget they have cameras, they monitor us. Eventually, they will see you.
[She goes to one of her shelves, Turkish by design and opens a small box. Coming back to Eponine, she offered out an emerald necklace to her.]
If you are worried about survival and want something to keep for a rainy day, take this. I'll give it to you willingly. I have more that I can part with. You don't need things from someone else. You can have mine.

I took something. Well... some somethings. From someone. Not you. But... someone. And I... well... I let myself into their room? To do it?

[That's the large question and the most worrying. If it's reported, there's little Kosem can do.]
Are you willing to fix this?
