"I have a brain," Eponine sighs.

She perches on the edge of the bed, and runs her hand over the soft bedclothes. It's so lovely. It's the nicest place she''s ever stayed in. But Joss's proposal reminds her of the old days, when she was still alive.

"I have always been the one to watch. I were the watch for the gang when I were alive, and long when I were a vampire too. I took messages for my Pa and the gang. I do whatever the men want and they give me what my Pa asks for. It isn't nice work, you know..." She smooths over her t-shirt on her hollow stomach. Being asked to watch again brings a funny, twisting feeling to her stomach. It makes her feel almost homesick, almost nervous to do it again. Still, despite her reluctance, she sighs.
"I am clever. I can find anything you like. People don't notice the beggars and that, do they?" She toys with the end of her plait.

"What if I don't want to?" she asks after a moment of silence. She thinks she knows the answer.
