Eponine shakes her head, speaking through a mouth full of pasta. She has no idea what she's eating and she really doesn't care either.
"Nothing is for free. Nothing is ever free. So what is the price truly? Even if it is steep, I should rather know now than later. But - but a party?"
Eponine looks around again. Is this what a party looks like? She had expected ball gowns and music, orchestras and delicate finger foods. Perhaps champagne, or fancy wine.
"For us? Me? But - but -"
Why would anyone throw her a party? Unless it's a trick. Or a dream? Perhaps it's a dream then, and she'll awake to the reality of losing her family. Eponine makes up her mind to indulge in it for as long as possible then.
"How are you to come in rags? You look - you do not look - well."
She glances down at her skirt once more, and shifts her weight so her leg is hidden from the long rent in the front. "I were rich once upon a time, you know? I weren't always... I could have been as pretty as you are, you know?"
