*Aimery led Beatrice into the kitchen and towards the sink. Once they reached it, he released her hand and picked up a fresh towel, running some warm water on it. Then he turned back to her, the towel lifted towards her questioningly.*
I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to get you cleaned up.

*Beatrice sat down at a chair in one of the many tables, grateful for being taken care of. She nodded.*

*At her consent, Aimery's smile brightened and he knelt in front of her. He wiped the warm towel over her face cleaning her gently. He wondered what had happened to her, but that could wait. He needed to comfort her first. Once her face was clean, he folded the towel over and started to work on her hands carefully.*

*Beatrice smiled sadly, and let him clean her up.*
"Thank you. I really appreciate this, sir."

*Aimery blushed and averted his eyes, shaking his head and working dutifully to clean her up the best he could. There wasn't much he could do for her clothing. Finally he set the towel aside and picked up his pad.*
My name is Aimery.
Are you feeling better? Is there anything else I can do?

*Beatrice read the words on the pad slowly and with a more than a little difficulty.*
"Yes, thank you." *she smiled sadly.* "I'm afraid there's nothing you can do,"

*Aimery's brow furrowed slightly.*
Are you sure? What happened? Did someone try to hurt you?

"No...nothing like that. It's a long story."
How could I tell him all that happened? He'll know I'm mad then. He'll fear me, just like Toby.

*Aimery smiled and pulled himself up into the seat next to her. He clasped his hands together and set them on the table, raising his brow to her.*
Well...I'm available. Please go on.

"I'm in love with someone who is terrified of me," *she said softly.* "It's... rather complicated," *she continued, trying to sound carefree.*

Complicated? You have know idea.
*Aimery nodded.*
I understand. I am in a complicated situation myself.

*She looked at the floor sadly.*
"It's all my fault," *she said, tears forming again in her eyes.* "I should have been stronger. Should have been more careful."

*Aimery put his hand over hers soothingly.*
You can tell me about it, if you need to talk. I won't tell anyone if it's a secret. It can be nice to have a confidant.

"You'll be afraid of me too- just like Toby. I'm afraid of myself sometimes."

*Aimery looked her over discerningly.*
My fiancee is a ghost. Was a ghost. Now she just doesn't remember me. How scary can you be?
*He shook his head gently.*
It's all right if you don't want to tell me. But I am not afraid.
