The Count was in his drawing room enjoying a book and some wine when Baptistan entered the room. "Your excellency, there is a young lady outside waiting to see you."

The Count smiled to himself as he marked his place and set the book on the table, "Good, I have been expecting her. Please, Baptistan, let her in. Show her to the gymnasium downstairs if you would. She has an appointment with me." As Baptistan bowed and exited to lead Ami down to the practice area, the Count couldn't help but smile to himself. "It has been far to long since I have done something like this. This should prove very amusing," he mused to himself as he headed into the lower levels of the house.
