*Aimery stood in shock for a long time. Then he turned and carefully ascended the steps to the stage. His hands were shaking terribly as he tried to collect his things.*

Oh dear, he's shaking! Perhaps I should ask what's wrong? But if I upset him...he doesn't look like someone who would be upset at me for only trying to help him. And somehow I believe he'll see in my eyes that I mean only good.
*steps out from behind the curtain and approaches the stage cautiously, clearing her throat lightly*
'Scuse me, Captain. I couldn't help noticing you don't look too well.

((You know you just can't resist him...muhuhahaha...))
*Aimery stumbled back slightly as he heard the voice. Collecting himself, he smiled gently and shook his head, offering his hand in a gesture to suggest there was no need to worry.*

*looks him over and isn't convinced*
No, you really don't look too good. Maybe you should sit down.
*motions to a couple of chairs in the wings*

*Aimery sighed and nodded, his smile tired but warm. He followed her to the wings and sat, turning his pad to the first page.*
Hello.
My name is Aimery.
*He looked up hopefully.*

*looks down at the pad, her smile disappearing instantly*
Oh. Um.
*looks back down at it, squinting*
Um, sorry. I can't read.
((THIS is why I jumped at Aimery. It'll be fun to see how they'll communicate.))

((Oh you sneaky monkey! To the fun then...))
Oh.
*Aimery looked at her dumbly for a moment. Then he put the pad back in his pocket. He pursed his lips, trying to think of a way to explain.*
I miss Faye.
*He grew resolved and pointed to himself. Shaking his head, he touched his throat and then covered his mouth. He lifted his brow, seeing if she understood.*

*cocks her head curiously at him for a long moment*
Oh! You're saying you can't talk. I got that already; why else would you use this?
*gestures to the pad and pencil*
But you can hear, right?
*sincerely doesn't realize how stupid a question this is*

*Aimery blushed and nodded.*
But I don't know how to tell you my name.

You know, I feel really bad not knowing your name. Maybe I could guess. Is it, uh, Mildred? Ok, no. How 'bout Diana? Rachel? Ariel? Ariel? That's kinda pretty. Ok, Ariel.
*nods, thinking about how to continue*
Well, my name is Wisty. Wisteria actually. Named after my daddy's favorite flower. I arrange flowers for the galas!
*pauses thoughtfully again*
Is your name any other word? I mean, mine is a flower. Is yours something else, or is it just a name?

*Aimery twisted his face in thought. He held his hand out and rocked it, suggesting that it was kind of a word. Then he pantomimed a bow being drawn back, then looked to her hopefully.*

*half-mimics his movements, absorbing them and mumbling*
Bow...bow and arrow...shoot? Bow...
*pushes a wayward strand of hair out of her eyes and leans forward, indicating that she fully intends to get this right before she leaves*

*Aimery shook his head and pursed his lips. He made a rolling gesture with his hand, suggesting that it was close, to keep going. Then he held up his hands as if holding a pistol and squinted one eye shut.*

*Aimery shut his eyes and winced, but nodded also with a shrug. Then he looked to her, putting his hands together and pulled them apart again to suggest it was longer than that. But how to get the -ery? He pursed his lips, frustrated. He made his thumb and first finger into a circle and fitted them over a finger of his other hand.*
Like ring. But not.
