He hauled himself up out of the bed, moving toward a door that his brain was telling him was the loo, even if his memory wasn’t relaying the message. Once inside - Correct, then. Good job, brain. And ooh, he rather fancied the look of that one synaptic vesicle there -, he stared into the mirror - a much happier mirror than the one in the bedroom, good thing, too -, examining his body and his somewhat odd apparel. He was dressed in a white vest top of some kind and a pair of black boxer-briefs - which were the perfect pants for him. That was important, he remembered, somehow. These pants were given to him. She gave them to him and he needed to like them. Love them, even. -
Clothes. He needed new clothes. And a big, long scarf! No, no, moved on from that. Looked stupid. Perhaps the woman would come back soon and then they could go pick him out some new clothes. And then maybe she would put on the big, long scarf.
And absolutely nothing else.
Oh. Wasn’t that an interesting thought - her, nearly naked, in only his scarf? A voice from deep inside him sputtered in response with seemingly equal amounts of embarrassment and arousal and a deep desire to wear a floppy hat. And absolutely nothing else.
Pulling his attention away from clothes - had he been wearing this when he’d been in the other room - before the fire? He didn’t think so. He could remember a bowtie, perhaps? -, he turned to examining his face. Had he seen this face before? It looked familiar, somehow. In the strange, odd caverns of his mind, an image of an angry red-haired woman in a toga shouted at him about something he couldn’t control. No, that wasn’t right, so he waved the memory away. He’d had a different face. He’d been stripe-y then. Sad and stripe-y because he had lost her.
Where did these faces come from, anyway? They just popped up and zap! New man. He considered that as he flexed his facial muscles wildly, contorting them into different shapes. The eyebrows were a bit...angry. Was he cross now? He’d been cross before, often, in fact. She’d loved him even back when he’d been cross. She’d told him so.
He ran his fingers through the thick, grey hair that capped his head, which made it stand on end. The grey hair made him distinguished, right? She’d said that about a fellow once. George something-or-other. Called him a ‘silver fox’. Was...was he a fox now? She was a wolf, he knew that. The Wolf. He would be a fox to her Wolf. Wait, was being a fox different than being fox-y? He was still slim, that had stayed.
Would she like it? She would like it.
Right?
Wait...would who like what?
