Enjolras's eyebrows lift slightly. He did glance at Javert a few times as he spoke, but otherwise he's been seeming not to take any notice.
He has no great confidence in anyone's ability to make the spy think, but it's certainly been amply demonstrated that Enjolras's arguments show no signs of getting through to him. Let others try, and either amuse themselves or have better luck. Enjolras is not going to bang his head against that particular brick wall, especially right now when neither of them can walk away.
(It's an interesting reaction, though. In keeping with others, but -- interesting.)
So, to Combeferre, he says, "Tell me more. What was the conclusion of their negotiations?"
Not that there's ever a fixed point, in reading these histories of future worlds: yes, this is the end, here is where it calcified, or and here we stand, today, the future a mystery we will build ourselves with each act and decision. But all the same.
