Natas sighed and rolled over in bed upon hearing some mild shuffling in the kitchenette. Things had been rough for her, often she was overcome with panic trying to force herself to remember things. But this Armand person, her husband was very patient with her. She couldn't remember him or loving him, but she could say with certainty that she was fond of him now. Moments when she felt calm, she was able to consider him and his feelings; how hard this must be for him. In a sense, he lost his wife; how terrible to see her like this.

She wasn't sure what kind of person she used to be. But context reactions from Armand gave her clues. Natas imagined she was a graceful, maybe a quiet person who liked to be left alone. Armand always looked surprised when she tripped, slipped, or fumbled around the house. This new Natas, as she is was, was very clumsy. She didn't pay attention well and when she felt confident enough, she could be quite chatty.

Sitting up, she stretched and let out a long yawn before blinking at Armand in the kitchen.

"Did you leave?" She called.

While she didn't consider herself in danger, she always felt safer near Armand.

"I went to the mercado to get food for the day." Armand explained, glancing over his shoulder to look at Natas. Though she looked like Natas, there was something about her now that felt significantly softer. She looked human. "I thought we could eat, maybe take a walk to the beach, maybe even town." He suggested. They, or rather Natas, hadn't gotten to spend much time outside of the house, so he thought maybe a brisk jaunt could be beneficial for her in some ways. Though they'd certainly ahve to spend many days with their heads down from here on out, he didn't imagine this could be harm to them.

"Sure, that sounds fine." Natas nodded before stretching again and climbing out of bed. She didn't have many clothes, old Natas would only wear her own garbs or nothing at all. New Natas was comfortably sporting one of Armand's shirts as she walking into the kitchen area. "What are we going to eat?" She asked then.

"Tortilla espanola again. I'm sorry, it's one of the few things I can cook." Armand explained as he watched Natas come over to him in his shirt. Even that small gesture seemed so unlike the old Natas, and yet in the short time after everything it seemed so like the new Natas. He gave her a little smile before turning back to his food preparation. "You used to like when I'd make you paella best."

"That's okay, I like your tortilla espanola. Can I help?" She offered, moving over to the counter and rolling up her sleeves. Old Natas felt domestic responsibilities were often beneath her, she didn't cook often. "Oh? Maybe I'll still like it next time you make it."

"I hope so. I can't cook much, so hopefully you'll like at least the few things I can." Armand gave a little quirk of a smile as he pushed over the little basket of eggs he'd picked up at the market. "Can you crack all open? I just need to cook everything else." He explained as he proceeded to dice up an onion and potato to put in a skillet he had already heating.

"Sure." Natas nodded, stepping over to begin. They weren't all perfect, she'd lost some shells in the yolks but did her best to retrieve them. On her last egg she cracked it weird, losing the yolk on the counter. "Oh no. I'm sorry." Natas sputtered, brows furrowed as she searched for a rag to clean up.

"It's alright, it's just a little mess." Armand said, which almost felt weird to be reassuring Natas of all people. She'd been so graceful before, precise with her every movement. This new characteristic was foreign, though, Armand supposed it wasn't all bad.

He stretched for a rag behind the sink, handing it to Natas.

Natas accepted the rag and began cleaning up, she looked over curiously at Armand before clearing her throat to speak.

"Um...What, was I like. Before?" She asked then, hesitantly. She hadn't directly asked before, and even when she was subtle and vague, he was too with his answers.

Armand pursed his lips, calculating his answer.

"You were different." He said with a shrug. "You were a sharp woman, very direct. You were full of grace and demanded respect, though, if I'm being honest, you didn't have to demand much from me. I...I loved you. I do love you." He explained.

Natas furrowed her brows, when Armand said he loved her it made her feel complicated. She didn't ever know how to reply, but she chose to pry more.

"Did I have family, or many friends?" She asked then.

Armand's lips twitched slightly, caught a little off guard.

"Mm, well...you had a brother, but we all never saw much of each other...other than that...just me." Armand lied. He couldn't imagine telling Natas about their children. He didn't know what she'd do...he didn't know what he'd do either.

"Weren't you ever lonely, with just me?" Natas asked then, glancing at him curiously.

"Of course not. You're all I've ever needed." Armand said, which was true enough. He and Natas certainly had a connection even before their children, though, it certainly deepened once their twins were first born.

Natas pursed her lips in thought. "How come we didn't have kids?" She asked then.
