Marius watched, amused, as the woman on the path scrutinized him. As he approached, she gasped, and began to move towards him.
"Marius!"
"Jayne!"
As Marius ran closer to his beloved, bits of his battlegear were thrown to the ground, even his beloved sword. The entire campaign against Loreos was over, and finally, he could be with his betrothed.

"Marius, you're home!" exclaimed Jayne.
"Yes. it takes a lot more than a few desert rats to get rid of me!"
Marius paused after saying this, noticing the flicker of...something on his lover's face. The war had been especially hard on Jayne, as her Loreesi relatives pulled her one way, and Marius pulled her back. However, she had remained loyal to Lenfald, and to Roawia.

A look of shock crossed Jayne's face, followed by amusement.
"You're growing a beard!"

Marius's face split into a grin as he embraced her.

"Well, I plan on growing it out to a full..."
Marius was cut off as Jayne kissed him.

She said, "Marius, I have moved our wedding, We will be married in a week!"
Marius started. "What?!"
"I will tell you why afterward, but there is a certain...matter that must be resolved, and could only be resolved by moving the wedding up."
"Whatever the reason, my love, I am sure it is in our best interest."
They embraced again.


Enjoy!

Not really. When I first made the character I had barely even heard of Le Mis. In all honesty I found the name in my mom's old baby book and thought it was cool. My sigfig characters have been named Marius for years. When I first saw the play, I realized that the character was actually quite famous and literally facepalmed.

Thanks!

Oh, well the way it is written makes it sound like Marius and Cosette in the original, unabridged Les Miserables book. ; )
