Bahorel presses Lesgle's hand in acknowledgement, and in thanks. It's good to know Prouvaire had his last words, that he made himself heard one more time-- but he understands the bitterness in that memory too.
He follows along when Enjolras continues, asking questions as he had before-- how many guns left, we had more of this, less of that, names of this or that resident of the street or this or that friend of the group-- hadn't they been there, when...He breathes in relief at the mention of the Corinth staff's escape. Bahorel is less troubled than many of his friends by the thought of a woman, of anyone, choosing to fight, but those weren't fighters. He has a low whistle for the news of the Guard's reinforcements; that certainly explains the apparently total fall of the barricade.
He can only share a small measure of their pride at the barricade's defiance. He wasn't there; however much he agrees, he can't claim any part of that moment.
But he can be, he is, fiercely proud of his friends and their choice. He returns Joly's hug and nods again, when Enjolras seems ready. Go on.
