"Who are you?" I asked with a frown, at this creature that used Natha's face in front of me.
He widened his eyes slightly, looking surprised just for a second before putting out a confused look. "Are you still dreaming?" he tilted his head, as if observing me. "Don't you recognize me?"
"No," I replied firmly, grasping the blanket between us and trying to remain calm. "You are not Natha."
And I was sure of it.
I knew I was just waking up, but there was no way I wouldn't be able to differentiate the dream and reality. I could sense everything; the flow of mana and Jade's beating heart.
So no--I knew this wasn't a dream, and I knew I was sober enough to realize this person wasn't my lover.
First of all, Natha had never called me 'baby'. He would never put on a charming face when he knew I was just woken up from a nightmare. He wouldn't try to convince me that he was him, or ask me if I was still dreaming.
