Joly starts grinning at Bossuet's sarcasm; he ends up beaming. "No. No, we're talking about the same thing. Entirely the same thing." " I just--I need to know what that is for you. Things have changed. I- if nothing else, I always thought we'd be three." His smile softens for a moment, and then he laughs at himself. " And I've been thinking in slightly different terms before, and-though it hardly matters, you've always been at the heart of everything anyway-- I need to, to know what that is for you. What you want that's any different from just, oh, how things have always been between us. Because we're talking about the same thing, and I want to make sure we always are."
He laughs, meaning to say something about the rather ludicrous conversation he'd been having with Bahorel about all this, and then turns thoughtful. "...I think you're talking about the same thing I am, too, about...about how things are, here. But. Hmm." He squeezes Bossuet's hand-- go on,not disagreeing, just thinking a moment.
