You imply that you are something else entirely. What are you, if not human? Something or someone who can see far too deeply into one's darkest soul and darkest, I fear. I've not painted in some time.
[ Oh, Enjolras is going to love this guy. Grantaire has a cynic’s mind, however, and despite everything he’s seen in this place, he remains doubtful by nature and sheer, stubborn willpower. ]
Ah, well, perhaps you can tell me then, is justice indeed as blind as they say? Does justice stumble through life blindfolded? Perhaps justice has never truly lived at all. You are strange to me, monsieur. What is a spirit of justice, really?
under normal circumstances justice looks however the observer expects it to these are not normal circumstances at the moment i have no blindfold nor any other visual impediment spirits are the people who live in the fade where you go in your dreams and where you pass through when you die every spirit has a virtue to which they always aspire my virtue is justice
I fear that I do not dream, though I have died and been retrieved from my grave and returned to this abysmal life for some unfathomable reason. Perhaps I passed such spirits, but I cannot recall them. The only spirits I know now are those that come from a bottle—and now you as well, I suppose, if a spirit you truly are.
You do truly have my thanks, monsieur, regardless of what you may be.
you likely passed them by but you may not have recognized them for what they were we do not always appear as human regardless i am pleased you are happy with the gift you are welcome
What might you appear as, in the eyes of us lowly human beings?
[ He's genuinely curious now, for as little as he thinks he believes it. At least you have his attention, Justice, and that's a very difficult thing to capture. ]
for the moment i appear as a human man it is most convenient to operate in this world if my appearance fits mortal expectations when i was initially brought to the mortal realm i was trapped in a man's corpse mortals were not comfortable with that neither was i
[Justice is happy to answer questions, so long as no one implies he's a demon. He understands that most mortals have no experience with spirits.]
