*Little Jammes stood in front of the barre and practiced her relevé's and pliés before she was going to begin with the steps for the Opera. She wondered if she should ask for a new tutu, since this one had some green spots on them.*

*Aimery had walked back slowly from the cemetery. He was feeling better. At least as much as he could. He changed and made his way into the practice room. He was quite distracted, trying to think of something nice he could do for Faye besides flowers. They always died after all. He wanted to leave her something more lasting. He gently fingered the locket at his neck. Then he heard something. He turned sharply and noticed a young ballerina. He swallowed hard. How could he have not noticed someone else in the room? He could come back later. He started to gather his things again and stood to leave.*

*Jammes looked at the young man through the mirror and turned around when he was about to leave.*
"Hi, you are not going to leave, now are you?"

*Aimery's eyes got very large at being addressed. He quickly lowered them and shrugged.*
I just don't want to be in the way.

*Jammes stepped closer to the young man.*
"You're shy. That's sweet, though you shouldn't have to be shy, not around me. I am Jammes."
*She extended a small lily-white hand and smiled friendly, with both her pink lips and forget-me-not eyes..*

*Aimery looked up briefly and took her hand, pressing his lips to it politely. He smiled nervously and set his things down, digging his pad out of his coat pocket. He bit his lip as he wrote.*
My name is Aimery. I didn't mean to interrupt. I can go if you would you like to practice more.

"Oh no, don't leave! I hate being alone in the Opera House. I always imagine I hear or see the ghost and then I get to scared to do anything."
*Jammes examined Aimery quickly before she looked back at the notepad.*
"I hope you do not think me to be rude, but why do you use a notepad? Can't you talk?"

*Aimery blushed at her question and his eyes dropped shyly. He shook his head slowly. Biting his lip he tried to shift the conversation away from his impairment.*
Have you seen a ghost here?
Maybe it's Faye. It would be so nice to know she's around, even if I can't see her.

*Jammes layed her hand on his arm to comfort him and her eyes started to sparkle as he asked her about the ghost.*
"Of course! Everyone has seen him at least ones, or has heard stories about him. You are new here, aren't you. Well, the ghost usually appears in the form of a gentlemen in dress clothes. He has heads that he can screw unto his neck, one looks like a skeleton and the other one is made out of fire."
*Her voice had dropped to a whisper as she leaned in a little closer.*
"He killed Joseph Buquet and abducted Christine Daae. There are even rumors that he had something to do with Carlotta's cro-ak incident."

*Aimery stared at her blankly for a moment.*
Hmm...not Faye.
*He swallowed and looked down to the pad.*
Please forgive my ignorance. I have not been here very long. No one ever told me.

"Oh don't worry, I am sure that the people were just to scared to tell you. Because it brings bad luck to talk about the ghost. That's why I wear this."
*Jammes showed him the little coral ring that she wore as a charm against bad luck.*
"If you rub this, then it will protect you. Some people say that it is just superstition, but I know it's it true. I have seen him, as plainly as I see you."

*Aimery moved to touch the ring in curiosity, but thought better of it and lowered his hand. His lashes fluttered shyly.*
You saw him? And you are still not afraid?

"Oh no! I am afraid, that's why I hate walking around the Opera by myself, or practicing all alone. It's just that I know how to protect myself from a ghost."
*Jammes tugged a strand of hair that had somehow escaped from her hair ribbon.*
"Though I am sure that the ghost only hurts those that are asking for it, people who are talking about him, or are stupid enough to wander around in his domain."

*Aimery looked a little anxious.*
How does one know when they wander into his domain?
What if he's just misunderstood, like Faye?

"Very simply, the cellars is where he dwells most of the times. None of us dares to go down there, not since Joseph Buquet, may he rest in peace. And then there is Box number Five. Meg Giry told us that it belongs to the ghost and that no one should be seated in there."
*Jammes noticed Aimery's anxious behavior and misinterpreted it has fear.*
"Oh but don't worry Aimery, as long as you don't go to those places, wander around alone or upset the ghost then you'll be just fine."
