The turmoil that rests in Armand is a perilous one. How many times has someone said that they want to be good to him? Certainly Marius. Many of those in the brothel. Even some of Marius' companions.

And yet, he believes Daniel. The trouble is, he'd believed others before. "Sometimes, I don't like that," he admits, staring at their joined hands. "It's easier to believe when we're bickering or snapping at one another, because it's real. I've played the role, happily and willingly, of a man in a happy situation far too often."

It's not that he doesn't want it either. "Hm. I don't want you to be cruel either," he admits, which puts them in a quandary. "Do you want to remember Paris?" he asks, instead of continuing down this rocky path.
