After not too long Ariana noticed that there was a second human shaped shadow in the room. It definitely wasn't hers, or that of Ada, since her sister had just left. Also, the shadow didn't look very feminine, for as far as a shadow could look masculine or feminine. Turning around to see who the shadow belonged to, Ariana saw that there was a man in her room, and it didn't take her long to realise she had never seen the man before in her life.

"Who are you?" Ariana asked, looking at the man. Though it had been difficult, Ariana had managed to learn how to talk, which wasn't the problem. She just couldn't hear anything. When she figured the man did not know that, she handed the writing pad and a feather over to him. "I can't hear." She told him, figuring that would explain to him why he would need the writing pad.
