Hopefully by the time they would reach the Capital he would have a better idea on what he wanted to do. After all it was his life and he had to be happy with his decision because there was nothing worse than regretting it. Iris felt like she had no regrets, not with choosing him and no matter what was thrown at them she knew she’d stand by Cas like he had with her through her amnesia. A part of her did wonder about her father, the fact she had technically turned her back on him but deep down she knew she couldn’t change him. There was nothing she could do there until he wanted to change himself, she couldn’t help anymore, and she had to be okay with that. It was hard to be okay with that, but she’d find a way. 

Happy that Cas had agreed to the compromise she thought it was the best choice for them right now, if he ended up wanting to go home, they were at least still making their way towards the Capital just a bit slower than their original plans. Feeling him move to her side instinctively she turned on her own side to cuddle up to him, placing her arm across his waist smiling up at him. Between the hoodie and his warmth, she was starting to feel comfortable and not cold anymore which was nice. Sighing softly out of content she was just happy to hold him again, to be close to him as it was everything she had missed. Even though her heart hammered away she was happy, it was exciting that with every little touch she’d feel the butterflies in her stomach like it was new and she’d never experienced it before. 

Glancing back over at Cas as he asked her about sleep, she smiled nodding, [color=f49ac2]“No, I’ll be alright.”[/color] Keeping her hold of him she shifted her weight getting herself more comfortable beside him, [color=f49ac2]“I’ll keep watch whilst you nap if you like? We can switch after.”[/color] As much as she wanted a nap herself, she was sure he was just as exhausted as her, one of them would have to keep watch whilst being so out in the open. At least in the shelters they weren’t so exposed, but who knew what kind of danger could happen in this forest. The rebels that were hunting them down could pop out at any moment and she didn’t want to risk their lives, not especially after the day they had so if one of them kept watch they wouldn’t just be sitting ducks if anything did happen. 

[color=f49ac2]“Go on, I’ll be alright. I’m warm now.”[/color] Whispering her words as she leaned up with her hand stroking his hair gently, glad she could do things like this now because it had been hard pushing him away. Not that she got very far with it because she had caved first back in the apartment. [color=f49ac2]“I’ll wake you up if I need anything.” [/color]
