Iris looked up when Cas spoke on her behalf, he didn’t need to of course but she appreciated it. It was hard to answer questions when she did not know anything about herself or what had happened and it was nice to feel like he was defending her to some degree. Frowning when he mentioned the Scourge, she had heard that name before, but she didn’t know why, [color=f49ac2]“The Scourge?”[/color] Whispering more to herself than anything when it clicked. They were the group of terrorists, right? The people beyond the Capital, a group her mother had been victim too according to her memory? Well that’s what she thought. Again, it was all just pieces of a puzzle and one that was proving very difficult to piece back together. 

Sighing to herself as she wished she could give him more than her answers of I don’t know, she hardly felt hungry anymore but with the interrogation she wasn’t surprised. She felt bad because she felt like she was causing this tension, if she wasn’t here then there wouldn’t be a problem and she didn’t want to cause problems for Caspain. The fact that Capsain had somehow managed to get his father to agree for her to stay in the first place was quite the achievement but again she didn’t want to cause the problems regardless of her own situation. Not to someone who had been so kind. 

[color=f49ac2]“I whole heartedly agree with you, your highness.”[/color] Managing a smile up at the King when he mentioned his intention was to not make her uncomfortable, [color=f49ac2]“I can only thank you for the kindness you have extended to me so far. I completely understand your concerns with me being here, but I don’t want to cause any trouble for you or Prince Caspain.”[/color] She could feel her heart hammering away, the pit of her stomach feeling sick as she met his gaze once more. As much as she tried to be confident you could tell a lot from a person’s eyes and she was not confident in herself.

[color=f49ac2]“This is your home, you shouldn’t in any way not feel comfortable in your own home and I do not wish to be the cause for that.”[/color] Biting her lip slightly as she hesitated for a moment, [color=f49ac2]“If you would prefer I not be here… I can leave.” [/color]It was quite the bold statement; she had no idea on where she could even go or how long she would last fending for herself but at the same time she couldn’t disregard his feelings. No matter on if she was harmless, where she belonged and which family she was from she completely understood his side of things. 

There was a sense of fear creeping up on her but that was because she had heard his words on deciding where to send her. What did that mean? Surely, she would return home the minute her memories returned, or her family claimed her. Although the hope that her family would claim her was fading fast. [color=f49ac2][i]The sooner I regain my memories the better…[/i][/color]

Looking down at the barely touched food she didn’t know what else to say, what else to show him that she meant no harm and was just here to figure out who she was. Regain her memories and hopefully start to live a normal life once more, well that was if she even had a normal life. She didn’t know and that was scary.
