Enjolras remained in the hall only long enough to pass the notes to a rat. Each has the recipient's name on the outside, and a brief message inside: that Combeferre is here, that he's sleeping now but in a couple of hours please come by.

(Habit still keeps him cautious about committing much to written notes, especially in a place where a living Javert can be found. But there's about Combeferre's arrival that's a secret; the broad facts will be obvious to anyone who saw his arrival, anyone who meets him and already knows his friends.)

He returns, closing the door behind him with a quiet click as Courfeyrac turns to grin and comment.

"Exhausted." Well, of course. Courfeyrac will remember as well as he the barricade: the Combeferre they saw then is only a little while removed from the Combeferre asleep now.

"He hasn't been here long, so we haven't discussed a great deal. I've told him who's here, what he missed, and the good news from the library here."

The good news worthy of being mentioned in an exhausted man's first hour at Milliways is, of course, patently obvious. Just mentioning it, still, makes Enjolras's face glow slightly in the candle's warm light.
