[philosoferre]

I'm taking a break from thinking about real things. Trying to have fun. It's a thing people do, you know.

[deblayer]

Call when you're on your way?

[philosoferre]

I will.

[And he definitely will call, not too terribly later on.]

[deblayer]

[Does that meant he will be invited to the apartment's blob of Enjolras-low-key-work and other-Amis-bonelessly-piling?

It does.]
