Ariel

I observed her curious face and just gave her a mysterious smile before speaking,"who knows?" as I then moved towards the kitchen as she kept looking at me without any change in her expression.

Inside the kitchen, I cooked some meat jerky along with other similar dishes and brought it out and served it on the dinner table as I called out to her, "Dinner is ready!" and she responded from her research room,"coming in 5."

'Why does it feel like we are husband and wife?' I kinda wondered at the awkward stance I was in, but oh well, I don't think there is anything to worry about here.

A few minutes later, I saw her coming downstairs from the research room with the same smile she always had whenever she comes for dinner.

We sat at the table, said our prayers, and finally we began eating the food. With every bite she took, she had a blissful expression on her face and I could only chuckle a little at her reaction that hadn't changed one bit from the reaction she gave on day one.
