"Then you of anyone should have it by all means." Joly flashes Courfeyrac a little grin, in spite of the situation. "May your romantic endeavours be in tents, my friend."
As far as Marius goes though,that has Joly frowning. "Still as serious a case as when we left him then." It would seem to him that the best thing to do,in that case, would be to allow the lady to win in the arena, that she never has to go into one again. Marius would pine, perhaps, but he would know she was safe,and be perhaps less of a danger. "Well, we shall do our best to keep an eye on him, to prove we might be trusted." Perhaps, he thinks, looking over the list of plants again, lips moving a little as he reads through them, remembering properties, they can induce him to sleep without realizing it. It seems that it would be far fairer somehow, to get him out of the way for a while,and to have him wake with a clear head as well.
"I have a theory on how we might make him a bit useful and get those puppy eyes focused. There are some Linden flowers here." And he's circling, using Venus's pen with a grateful nod. "And chamomile among some others. They should help us ensure he has some sleep, and the Linden can make a paste for that wound of yours as well. It should clean and bring down swelling, and we needn't do very much to have them prepared as anything. Mint, as well, there should be plenty of it...And let Marius see it later, if anything, it may help him to realize he is doing no one,least of all, his lady wife, much good like this." He's willing to let Marius see the truth, if it will help even a little.
