Caspian seemed pretty certain of his choice, but Iris couldn't help but feel he may regret that later. To simply forgive everything straight away seemed foolish and she had expected more of a fight, that she’d need to practically beg him with apologies. Yet, he was certain he was over it. All that mattered right now was the fact she was here with him. It gave her hope that he truly loved her, and she pushed her own concerns to the back of her mind. If he was willing to forgive and forget, then she would do the same. After all, he was a king now and could make any decision he wanted too, whether the people or his council would agree that was a different story.  

Sighing happily at the gentle touch of his thumbs, the soothing notion and comfort she had missed from him she couldn’t help but smile. [color=f49ac2]“One thing I have always been certain of, if wanting to be with you.”[/color] Even though she had her own emotions, turmoil around not being good enough for him she was always certain of wanting to be with him. It was everything else around them that was the challenge, but she’d be more honest about it with him. Talking to him truthfully was going to be the best way to make things work between them.  

Seeing him gawk at the news that she may have tracked down the rebels Iris couldn’t help but laugh as she nodded, [color=f49ac2]“I think so. I can’t be certain, but I did used to be a part of their organisation.”[/color] There was also the risk she could be completely wrong, but it was amazing what you could find when you didn’t look like you were from the Capital. [color=f49ac2]“Of course, I will. Strangely enough the lead I was following isn’t too far from what I assume to be your safe house?”[/color] Gesturing to the building they were inside; she was still partially in shock she had been brought here to him.   

[color=f49ac2]“Were you interrogating anyone suspicious yourself? Or was it purely coincidence you saw me. I honestly thought I’d messed it all up and was headed straight back to prison.”[/color] Iris cringed at the thought, although it had been a while since the incident, she would never forget the feeling of the drug used to question her.  

As they approached the subject of the woman that was the elephant in the room Iris winced as he confirmed he had been courting her. She couldn’t be mad; she shouldn’t be mad or jealous as he did think she was dead. Of course, he needed to move on, but she was jealous that he was holed up in the safe house with her. [color=f49ac2][i]Had they done anything?[/i][/color] Iris felt her thoughts spiralling into places it shouldn’t be, of course the princess he was courting wouldn’t have done anything with him. The woman was a princess, and she was just some common scourge member.  

[color=f49ac2]“Ah... of course. I understand.”[/color] Iris hesitated for a moment before she shook her head, [color=f49ac2]“Sorry no. I understand, you thought I was dead. I shouldn’t be jealous.”[/color] Squeezing his hand she offered a smile, [color=f49ac2]“It doesn’t matter now, but... won’t that make things difficult calling it off? I assume she is someone quite important. Right?”[/color] Trying not to let her jealousy seep through of a woman that was clearly better standing than her.
