The commission

by StrangeFlowers

Enjolras is not a feminist nor interested about women. But some people have such odd opinions about them. Strange. I hope that this drabble is is not awfully OOC. COMPLETE.

"The woman must be a clean, pure, lovely flower," the student said, "submit to a husband, to be a child-like in her behavior and looks..."

"You will get your commission," Enjolras said coolly. "I will ask Grantaire to create a clean, pure, lovely flower in her thirties or forties. She will be unpolluted by filth of this world. "

"But..."

"After all, why should a woman be "child-like" or "submissive"? A little girl or a slave is not an ideal woman."

Combeferre raised his eyes from his papers, but Enjolras had already turned to Grantaire.
