He had been spending several days doing little else but painting, in preparation for the festival that weekend. Landscapes, mostly. Buildings from the area, but also Paris. So much of Paris found its way into his art. It always had done, and now that he was away from it, he found some measure of comfort in bringing the places he cherished to life in the images he created.
What he had not expected was to find himself painting the faces of the people he loved so dearly. To conjure the faces of friends he held close to his heart and feared himself forgetting with each passing day.
Despite those fears, it was with little thought that he had found himself looking upon a likeness of not just Enjolras (a face he could look upon near as often as he might like now) but Combeferre and Courfeyrac too. Standing together in the Musain and plotting together. So like them it felt as though they might step off the canvas and be there with him.
There was no way he could sell such a painting. It was far, far too personal. Nor could he keep it. It brought with it too much pain for that. In the end, there had really been only one action to take.
With the paper wrapped canvas held beneath one arm, he raised the other hand to knock. It had only taken a couple of steadying drinks to bring him this far.
