It's not like Bahorel assumed they'd win. It's not even like he assumed he'd survive; if a revolution was so easy to ensure, they'd have one every day. He's used to seeing the whole effort go wrong, fall apart into a series of street brawls, injuries and deaths counted as a toll for The Next Time.

This, though--winning and still watching it fall out from under them-- is a different thing. It's not settled, not enough to start fighting again. So here he is, at a properly sympathetic cafe, trying to drink himself out of starting another riot before it's really necessary(some people might say riots are never necessary. Some people don't understand politics at all, really). And here's Bossuet entering the bar, with whatever thoughts he might be holding at a time like this, and probably no more money than he usually has. Bahorel waves him over.
