Baby Driver; ACCEPTING 

image

Fauntleroy did not have many experiences across from the innkeeper, all things considered. They knew that Montparnasse was fond of them, in their own sort of way, that is. Perhaps, it was merely the association that Eponine brought, though they’d stray to venture that the criminal had his own reasons, as was often the case. She is louder than most women they’ve encountered- only that is not quite the word they’re searching for. Perhaps, she was lively- spitfire and full on experience. It was a ridiculous term to attribute to anyone barely staggering on their own two feet. Fauntleroy is lucky that they’re petite, if for no other reason than the ease that comes with filling their belly. They are grateful just the same for the width of their shoulders- declaring their presence away from that of a girl. 

“You might have, only my head was a little full of curiosity. I must notta’ digested it.’ Ever elusive, if there was one thing Claquesous had taught them.

Baby Driver; ACCEPTING 

“Oh, not to worry- you did! Your hearing hasn’t failed you yet, old man,” their tone is unusually light for the task at hand, a defiant glint coloring around their eyes- making light, as they so often did. It is an easy way to mask their concern, a subtle tick of their brow drawing together and settling again. Fauntleroy was a force tor reckon with despite their stature, falling short of menacing- adorned in gaudy rings and flagrant attire. 

image

Nonetheless, they were not oblivious to their limitations, and the ignorance their age reflected. Fauntleroy, at times, had run- yes. For the most part, when it boiled down to anything of seriousness, they were rather good at listening. But, Faunt had been alone with Babet. The shorter of the two would never underestimate one of the rearing heads of Patron-Minette, and yet he had never fled a scene without Claquesous or at at the very least, Gueulemer to heel the criminal.
