Marius knows how much acting means to Rat, and he knows that he's had a difficult time in finding work. He wants to help anyway that he can, even if he can only offer suggestions the other man might find useful. Still, he's stubborn as hell from his own days of trying to find work, both in Darrow and back in Paris. He understands, too, Rat holding out for a role that both provides income and rewarding for an actor.
"Well," he says, pausing to take another sip of his coffee, his own lips quirking around his cup. "I mean, as the actor, you can make the character your own, right? Is there room in the script for you to subvert the stereotypical aspects of the role?" Marius thinks, from what he knows of acting, that there must be space in the creative process for an actor to develop their character outside of the lines they speak. And if anyone could take a flat character and breathe life into them, Marius believes Rat to be the one to do so.
Marius pauses, knowing what he wants to say but entirely uncertain as to how to say it. He is happy to provide, if Rat wants to wait for more lucrative roles. He exhales slowly, taking another sip of his drink before drinking. "I don't mind helping out if you want to wait for better roles," he says with a shrug. It's not meant as charity; he knows, from what he's seen and read of couples in this modern age, that some people will work while others look for work. "You shouldn't have to settle for roles that are insulting."
