    Summary

    Enjolras has spent pretty much the entire bus ride to the Musain trying to predict how this will go, but the thing that surprises him isn't that Combeferre isn't the first to notice, or that Joly doesn't start spouting something about infant mortality rates and immediately demand that everybody bathe in Purell. No, what startles Enjolras the most is that he manages approximately half a step through the door into the back room where they all meet before Grantaire rattles his glass down on the table in the back that he's taken for his own and drawls, "Is there something you forgot to tell us, Apollo?"

    That silences the room, predictably enough. Everyone breaks off their conversations and swivels to stare at him. At him, and at the baby carrier that he's got hooked over one arm.

    Summary

    “Courfeyrac says you do have passion,” says Enjolras, her eyes all dark and mesmerizing. “So why don’t you ever show it?”
    “I don’t know,” says Grantaire. “Honestly, most of my energy gets wasted on art or pining, you know?”
    Grantaire’s a hopeless romantic. It is part of her personality. Everyone knows this. Their friend group has stopped asking the requisite questions on the matter and just started handing her volumes of longing poetry.
    “The art is useful, you should keep that,” Enjolras says earnestly, which at least is an achievement. It took hours of Grantaire and other group members pontificating on how art movements were essential parts of historical unrest and uprisings and cultural shifts for Enjolras to appreciate art. Unfortunately, she now categorizes art as 'tool of war.' Grantaire doesn’t know how to explain to her that it’s a tool forged from yourself. That the blade’s not always sharp or capable of being wielded or cutting. It is unreliable—just like Grantaire. “The pining, though,” she continues. “That has to stop. So. Who is it this time?”
    “This time?” says Grantaire dumbly. “Who?”

    Summary

    Parrish and Lynch—two sets of shoulders for Gansey to knock against, two bodies fighting for the spot in his passenger seat.

    Adam and Ronan— that’s another combination. Ronan doesn’t know what it means.
