[hider=Iris][color=lightgreen]Iris looked over to him when he offered her a pot of coffee and shook her head, "No thank you... if I have a cup now I'll never get to sleep."

She ran her hand through her hair and put the paper she held down and grabbed a pen before she started scribbling away on it. However, she stopped when he mentioned her moving in yet again, "But... wouldn't be strange... for me to move in since I'm not your mate..." She bit her lip before she turned back to the paper than she was making a few corrections on, "I mean... we could tell everyone why but would there not still be rumors about what is happening between closed doors?" She took a deep breath, letting the math distract her slightly, "I mean... Moving in with you would have benefits... like not getting locked out of my house and not having to trek across the way to come to and from here... I just don't want to put you into a bad position."

She finished with the paper she had and placed it aside before she started on the next, "As for helping... Isn't that what we are supposed to do in a pack? Help each other... You really don't owe me anything."

[hider=Leopold][color=dimgray]Leopold sighed as Crimson asked him yet another question about his knowledge of the world. He nodded his head, "Yes, I do... Now, Crimson... Is there a point you are getting to? I was in the midst of work and your cat seems to be content keeping from that so long as you are here. Would you mind hurrying to the point and stop beating around the bush?"

His words were a little harsh but Leopold was a busy man. He hardly had any free time due to the amount of work he needed to put into making the castle run and making those around him see that he was good at it. Although he had used it power to gain the title of Lord, he had never used it on his people to make them content. He wanted to know that he was doing a good job not running this place to the ground and convincing people otherwise. It was due to this was Leopold worked himself to the ground to achieve it. He rose his eyebrows, "Well?"[/color][/hider]
