The Dry Feeling

(From Blue's Perspective)

My head hurt a lot when I woke up. My stomach was not as sore as it had been, but I could not still move around freely. Everything felt uncomfortable. My own body felt foreign, as if it was not my body at all. 

The room was pitch-black. But that did not make it hard for me to know where I was. I was back in Querencia, in my bedroom. 

"You need to eat something."

I was not even the least surprised to find my husband sitting beside me, rubbing my forehead. I somehow knew he would be here, just like always. 

"Ok...," I mumbled as I snuggled up to him.

He used the bell in our room to summon the maids. He claimed it was very common in a noble's bedroom, but he despised it and did not have one in his. Besides, he said that he could call them with his mind anyway. But now, since I was here and I could not communicate with my mind like them, he installed it back again.
