"Please wait!" I ran over and took him by the arm. "Since I started this investigation, no one has been willing to help. All I have found are lies and evasions. Why? Why does no one want me to know the truth about what happened? If I had any sense I would give up now, but there's something in me that needs to find the answer." Plus, Teddy's ghost would make my life hell if I gave up. But I didn't mention that part, for fear he would think I was insane. "I loved you once, Raoul. I tried to convince myself that it was just lust, but I know better now. But that won't keep me from this case, and you had better understand that right now!" I turned away.

I suddenly realized something. "Raoul, you never did tell me where you were at the time of the murder."

*Raoul sighed.* Yes, I will speak to you now. I was at my estate dealing with my post and servants.

I sighed and put my head in my hands.
"Raoul", I asked, "do you believe in ghosts?"

*Francis walks into Arielle's room, after he asked a house maid were she was. Somehow he got the feeling that something was wrong, all the servants looked like someone had died, or something like that.*
"Hi Arielle, I was wandering if..."
*Francis stops and looks at Arielle sobbing into her pillow.*
"Arielle, what's wrong?"

*Francis hurried over the her side and sat down on the bed.*
"What, somebody killed who?"
*Suddenly it all became clear to him, the sad staff, the rumors the big fat neon sign that said: Hubby is dead, in need of some comfort.*
"Someone killed your husband, Theodore."

*Francis had absolutely no idea what to do. What do you say when somebody's husband has been murdered?*
"Ehm, I'm sure, he is in a better place now."

*Francis muttered a string load of curses underneath his breath and knelt (sp?) down besides Arielle.*
"You poor thing."
*He quickly picked her up and put her back on the bed.*

*Lune rushed into Arielle's room ((for some reason she knew about the whole situation...>.<)).*
"Arielle! Oh, god, Arielle! I'm so sorry!!" *Noticed Arielle lying on the floor and helped her up back into her bed again.*
"Hello, Francis." *Lune smiled faintly* "It's good to see you again." *She then turned back to Arielle with a sad and worried look on her face.*
"I'm so sorry for you... I know how badly it hurts when someone you love dies..." *She said as she softly stroke her hand over Arielle's hair.*

*hugs Lune tightly and continues crying*
((Sorry if I'm being boring, but I can't think of anything else to make her do but cry.))

((No problem. I mean, that's probably what's most common to do after a loved one has been murdered.))
*Lune looks sadly at Arielle, hugs her back and starts to sing for her quietly. She remembered her mother used to sing for her when she was sad. It was a beautiful tune and Lune kept on singing with her comfortable voice, trying to calm Arielle's heartbreaking sobbings.*
