[color=f49ac2]“Let me off because I am cute? Maybe I’ll use that to my advantage.”[/color] Iris couldn’t help but laugh, happy that he had somehow pulled the mood back for them as she much preferred it being light-hearted as it meant she didn’t have to focus on the negative. Something she had been doing a lot lately without evening meaning too. It was like she was drawn to it and it was easily becoming a daily battle to keep on the positive side, though spending time with Cas was a welcomed break as he made it hard to think about negatives. The charming personality and the way he could cheer her up was exactly what she needed right now. 

Smiling herself she couldn’t help but find his own smile infectious, her eyes lit up at the oyster and he seemed happy that she had liked it. [color=f49ac2][i]Perhaps taking a risk with food isn’t so bad[/i][/color]. Mulling over her thoughts finding herself blush at his words and wink following alongside, [color=f49ac2]“What are you insinuating there?”[/color] Whispering as she felt a little hot under the collar, whether or not he had meant it in such a way she had assumed his words hinted towards something more private, not just food. [color=f49ac2]“Hey, you would love a plain cheese pizza! Sometimes simple is better.”[/color] Finding herself make the statement in a rather matter of fact tone, though she couldn’t keep it up as she found herself giggling as she reached for her cutlery once more to take a few more bites of food. 

Nodding in agreement as he went to order the chocolate cake for them she began to eat more of her food enjoying the taste, looking up as he offered more wine she smirked shaking her head, [color=f49ac2]“I hope you’re not trying to get me drunk, I’m not much of a drinker.”[/color] Teasing gently as she took her topped up wine glass taking another swig of the drink, he was right it accompanied the food nicely and no doubt would go well with the cake that they were going to have for dessert. 

Pushing her plate aside as she had finished, she washed the food down with the wine before looking over at Cas with a soft smile on her face, enjoying the calm they were currently experiencing. [color=f49ac2]“Thank you, Cas, for all of this. I think you can agree when I say we needed this.”[/color] Though it hadn’t been part of any plan it was certainly something they needed together. Though she did have his father to thank for that, although unintentional he had pushed Caspians hand to do this and a part of her wondered if that had only deepened the already budding problems between them. 

[color=f49ac2]“You better not hog all of this cake though; I have not had chocolate cake in a lifetime, and I can’t wait.”[/color] She felt like a little kid again, excited over something so simple but she honestly couldn’t remember ever having chocolate cake before and if she had it was certainly long forgotten either because she had been a child or it was part of the memories the amnesia had stolen away. Rising from her chair she glanced at the plate picking it up, [color=f49ac2]“So, should I wash this? Or put it on the tray to go back? I’m a little unsure on how this works.”[/color] Feeling a little embarrassed that she even had to ask such a question, though she knew Cas would not think bad of her for it she still felt the burning sensation of being stupid for asking such a thing.
