[color=f49ac2]“It’s good to know I haven’t lost my humour.”[/color] Iris tried to chuckle, trying ever so hard to keep it light and enjoyable as she knew how easy it was for her to slip back into her mood. Iris didn’t want to worry him, he had enough on his plate with a whole Kingdom now on his shoulders that she was just one person compared to thousands that now looked to him. There was no way she could be selfish so all she had to do was just keep it light and reassure Cas that she was fine, at least until she had figured out what to do. 

[color=f49ac2]“Oh, it was [i]fun[/i], was it?”[/color] Iris mused, her eyebrows quirking as Cas began to fumble over his words, but she knew he didn’t mean anything by it and that it had been completely innocent. In truth she missed the idea of both, having someone to sleep beside and hold. The comfort it provided, and she knew that having him at her side she’d probably be able to get a few hours of sleep in as his presence would soothe her. Then there was the other activity that they had only just delved into together, briefly touched upon and even just thinking about it made her cheeks redden because she wanted to be intimate with him. 

[color=f49ac2]“I wish I was there with you, or vice versa, in regard to both options of sleeping with you.”[/color] Iris smiled trying not to get herself flustered like he had, but she was warmed to know that he clearly missed her just like she did him. [color=f49ac2]“I hope it’s soon too…”[/color] Trailing off as she didn’t dare to finish her sentence, to admit that being so isolated was driving her insane. Opening up wounds that were barely healing and thoughts she wished she could outrun. [color=f49ac2]“There is only so much mindless telly I can watch.”[/color] Deciding to add that on to her sentence rather than the truth. 

Finding her gaze sweep the empty room her fingers casually brushing against the fabric of the plush sofa she was curled up on.[color=f49ac2] “You know I’ll always be there to listen, I’m sure your friends would too.”[/color] Knowing that the boys would be there for him, well she hoped especially as she didn’t quite believe her own words of always being there to listen. In an ideal world she would of course not hesitate at being there, but with them being from two completely different worlds it would be better for everyone if she slipped away. Her mindset now firmly believed that to be the case, that she was not good for him. 

[color=f49ac2][i]Well, if it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t have nearly died.[/i][/color] 

[color=f49ac2]“I’d like that a lot. You’ll have to tell me what movie we’ll be watching and what channel.”[/color] Iris smiled once more, there was no harm in enjoying the time they did have together before everything would undoubtedly change between them. [color=f49ac2]“I’m interested to see what you order for me.”[/color] Glancing towards the untouched soup once more as she made a promise to herself to eat tomorrow, to give it a go when Caspian would be ordering for her and going out of his way to do so. [color=f49ac2]“Maybe it will inspire me to start being adventurous.”[/color] 

Shifting her weight on the sofa the blanket slipped from her legs as she glanced to the time already knowing that it was getting late and that their conversation would have to come to an end. Sighing at the thought of it she just hoped he would find a way out of this soon, or some sort of resolution because the days were becoming harder as time went on. [color=f49ac2]“I’ll try to get some sleep tonight, who knows maybe tonight will be the night.” [/color]
