Glancing over at where Ethan had chosen to hide himself, she felt incredibly anxious, how was she going to play this charade? [color=f49ac2][i]You’re going to have to think of something.[/i][/color] Grimacing slightly as she rubbed her arm, the nerves were going to eat her alive and the idea of Cas finding out, breaking his heart only added to the pressure she was beginning to feel in the room. She could hear the voices just outside of her door and she bit her lip, she wasn’t the most presentable, but she could play it off as if she had just woken up. 

Wincing as she heard the pounds on the door, she felt her body tremble, she had heard his voice. The King and he was quite frightening. Flashes of their previous dinner reminded her that he could be quite ruthless when needed. [color=f49ac2][i]Do not give him any reason to suspect you, you are just a girl with amnesia.[/i][/color] 

Moving to the door quickly she exhaled a breath, trying to compose herself as she opened it wide allowing passage for the King and Caspain. Taking a few steps back she bowed her head respectfully cringing at the twinge in her leg for moving so fast as it had not fully healed just yet. [color=f49ac2]“Your highness… ah..”[/color] Looking up she smiled slightly before glancing at the bed, [color=f49ac2]“Forgive me, I was not expecting visitors so early… I…”[/color] Her hands began to fiddle as she looked confused, apologising for the fact she wasn’t entirely dressed for the day. She was decent of course but her fingers moved to her hair smoothing it out a bit more, she could feel the fatigue, but she had to pay attention, she could not mess up. 

[color=f49ac2][i]What do I say? Do I just let it be quiet? I shouldn’t address him without having reason, too right?[/i][/color] Thoughts ran through her head and she averted her gaze to the floor respectfully, focusing on the carpet. Dark circles were evident under her eyes, her usual complexion paler than usual and it didn’t look as if she was to well. The events of everything had taken its toll on her but she could use it to her advantage, tell them she was under the weather and concerned after the attack because she knew nothing of these rebels. 

[color=f49ac2][i]Don’t even look at where Ethan is hiding, act normal. You will be fine.[/i][/color] Although a horrifying thought had crossed her mind. [color=f49ac2][i]What if they have me interrogated? Ethan mentioned them… mentioned their unorthodox ways. He wouldn’t speak of it fully, but I can only imagine it’s horrible. Stop it Iris! Stop thinking these thoughts. You have nothing to worry about. They don’t know you have some of your memories yet, they will never know. Get through this and maybe it’s your chance to get out…[/i][/color] She felt a pang in her heart, leaving meant saying goodbye to Caspain. [color=f49ac2][i]It would be for the best… right?[/i][/color]
