*Faye hung back in the shadows, and sighed a little with relief as Aimery's glance passed over her without noting where she stood.*
I never thought I'd be glad to be invisible again...but it seemed to upset him so much.

*Aimery shifted his weight to move some more wood on the fire, for a moment letting the curtain down around his waist, exposing his well muscled back. Once the fire was rekindled, but pulled the fabric back up and snuggled in it. Thunder cut loudly through the air and he looked slightly spooked by it. He drew nearer to the fire, seeking comfort.*

*Faye shivered a little. Apparently the return of solid feeling also meant some return of sensation to her spirit. Slowly, silently, and carefully, she approached the fire and gingerly curled up in the chair opposite Aimery. She forced herself to look into the fire and held her transparent hands towards the blaze.*

*Aimery shifted slightly. He felt a strange sensation, almost an ache in his heart. He shivered against the cold. Looking up briefly, he’s eyes turned to a nearby chair, but he saw nothing. He turned back to the fire with a small sigh. Pulling a small cushion from one of the chairs, he curled up on the floor, radiating innocence as though he were completely alone in the world. Which technically, he pretty much was.*

*Faye felt like crying, and only hugged her knees to her chest.*
I wish I could just talk to him, even...

*Aimery’s brow furrowed at the pain in his chest. It grew and saddened. He shifted, rolling over with his back to the fire. He felt so helpless. And he found himself staring at that chair. It seemed strange to fixate so. It was just a chair, but it reminded him of something…evoked something…something he could not place. He wondered as he observed it, tucking his hair absent-mindedly behind his ear, sighing gently.*

*Faye gazed back at the young man as he seemed to stare intensely at where she sat, with an air of utter calm. She inclined her head to one side and spoke hesitantly, softly.*
"Can you see me?"

*Aimery had relaxed a bit until the sound of the voice returned. His eyes widened and he propped himself up on his elbow. He immediately regretted it (it was still quite sore from the fall earlier) and to escape the pain he pushed up to a fully seated position, rubbing his elbow for a moment. Pulling the curtain back up around the shoulder that had been exposed in the act, he looked around nervously, but didn’t try running or fainting. Instead he pursed his lips and shook his head in answer.*

*Faye sat very still, although there was really no need.*
"But you can hear me?" *She noted the young man's reaction and quickly added.* "I'm not going to hurt you."

*Aimery shivered slightly and lowered his eyes to the floor. This couldn’t be happening…but it was. His dark lashes fluttered and he nodded solemnly.*

"I'm sorry...this disturbs you." *She bit her lip and found herself blinking back tears.* "I'll leave." *She stood up and turned silently towards the door.*

*Aimery looked up desperately, shaking his head frantically. He didn’t understand it, but it was still better than being alone. He lifted his hand sharply towards the chair, imploring the voice to stay, looking wild eyed and longingly.*
Please don’t go, stay with me.

*Faye froze at the sound of his voice, dropping her gaze to his outstretched hand. She knelt in front of him, even though he stared through her, and slowly pressed the flat of her palm against his hand.*
"...Alright."

*Aimery looked shocked for a moment and the sensation against his hand. His fingers crumpled slightly. He gasped lightly to feel the definition of other fingers between his own. All he could do was stare at his hand in disbelief.*
What…I don’t understand…

*Faye's lips parted in silent wonderment as her fingers wove themselves between the young man's. He seemed equally dumbstruck, yet she heard him speak.*
"How--? ...can't you speak?" *she asked gently.*
