It was a stormy winter evening as Nathanael Paul Javert sat on the back of a folding chair in the ballroom, bottle of rum in hand as he gazed out the window at the raging elements outside. There was a blizzard, and it didn't look as if it would let up until morning at least. He took a swig, the cold air of the room stiff and unsettling. The cold didn't bother him at all. After all, he couldn't feel any of it, so why should it bother him?
Lightning cracked. Ah, thundersnow... He could feel himself growing stronger with the power of the electricity. The storm swirling outside... with the exception of the snow rather than rain, it was much like one of the stormier night's he'd spent out on the high seas back when he belonged to the land of the living, rather than being trapped somewhere in between the living and the dead as he was now...
The ghastly man continued to sit, looking out the window in a sort of remembrance. He heard the large door of the room creek open, but he did not dare turn. “Evening,” he said plainly, taking another swig and continuing to face toward the window.

Aimeric had been looking to go to the Manor, but when he had originally gone out it wasn't such a blizzard. By the time he was halfway to the Manor snow was covering him and his book, soon enough dampening his hair. He rushed to the Manor, relieved once he had made it through the doors. It was a bit darker than usual in the Manor, so he was having trouble navigating the library.
In search, he accidentally creeked open the door of the ballroom, thinking it was the library until he took a look around. This definitely wasn't the library. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice from the other side of the room. He gulped and smiled shyly, staying silent. He didn't expect anyone else to be in there, and now he felt like he was stuck there.
How was he going to get out of this? He just came to the Manor to read, and now he was going to have to communicate which he felt would most likely just embarrass himself. Which of course he didn't want but it happened every now and again, he couldn't always avoid conversation as he longed to.

“Well?” the spectre asked a bit sharply. “Are you planning on standing there all day, or are you going to make up your mind? That’s always the issue isn’t it? Knowing ones own mind....” He let out a very low, throaty chuckle, like a soft roll of thunder in the distance. That was the real trick of this place, wasn’t it? The tricks it played on ones mind...
Nate honestly wasn’t certain how much of a mind he had left in his otherworldly state. The power of the storm allowed his physical form to be quite opaque, but his mind... There had been such a recent lack of stimulation that his mind was beginning to fade away despite the additional stimulus for manifestation.
