After getting some rest, Iris decided to wander around the Palace. Although she was itching to get started on The Quest, she knew that everyone needed time to get ready and a game plan needed to be made. Iris, herself, was not the planning type so she left that to the others while she sharpened her sword as well as her mind through meditation. 

She wasn't looking for anything in particular, but maybe there would be someone to talk to. Plus the princess said that they were open to use the amenities at the palace so might as well explore since this may be their home base for the time being. 

In her wanderings, she found the library where Allison, Amaryllis, Crimson, and a Noctem that Iris did not know yet. Seeing as they were all deep into her research, she decided to not bother them. For some reason, Iris doubted that the library would have books that she would be interested in. 

She also found the barracks where the guards stayed. She made idle conversation with the ones that were not currently on duty and asked them about some of the facilities found on the castle grounds. One had mentioned a smithy which Iris was pleased to hear about. Maybe if she became friends with the Royal Smith, they would let her use it to forge her own weapons.
