Mnn.. Well, maybe. I see myself more as 'traditional'. And, yes, well that comes with the territory, Eponine, jealousy and the like. I've been thinking about changing my image again. Really modernize it.
[She glances to Eponine.]
Naturally she would, she used to be my servant after all. I may have asked for the occasional impossible task or two, but she knew what she signed up for. She has no right to complain.
She believes she can change her fate, but she'll always be a servant. Forever. It's in her blood. Now you, you're destined for greater things, Eponine. [She smiles gently, and reaches to cup the girls cheek] It's understandable to be confused; but I think deep down you realize that, between the two of us, only I can prepare a desirable future. It is a simple case of short term versus long term happiness.
I confess that I should not have been so harsh on you in the pass, I was blind to your previous hardships. But I did not want to simply hand you what you wanted. I wanted you to feel as if you truly earned it."
