Iris enjoyed the touch between them, it had been so long since she’d had any sort of comfort like this. With all the previous trauma and everything that had happened it would have been nice to have someone there to comfort her. It’s not like Jacob was a comforting person, but she had missed that whilst healing. It seemed Cas was on the same wavelength as she felt the arm wrap around her waist, and she couldn’t help but movie closer to him where possible. [color=f49ac2]“As I say, I’ll share whatever information to your team. I want you to be safe and free from all this rebellion.”[/color] A part of her still felt a twinge of guilt that she had been a big part of it before.  

[color=f49ac2]“Could I really?”[/color] It seemed surreal at the idea of moving into the palace with him, she had stayed there once before all the drama had kicked off, but his father hadn’t been welcoming. Not that his father was around anymore, and he was right to have not trusted her in the first place. [color=f49ac2]“You wouldn’t get into trouble for it?”[/color]  

It seemed like a silly thing to ask; he was a King and could do as he liked and they’d been apart for too long. Cas clearly wanted to just pick up where they left off, but he was still considerate of her own comfort as he offered her to stay in another room if she didn’t want to share. Feeling the heat in her cheeks she still wanted to share a room with him, she wouldn’t want to sleep in another room not whilst back in the palace when she’d be so conscious with the people around. [color=f49ac2]“I would like to share. If you’re comfortable too of course.”[/color] Though she was certain she knew the answer to it already.  

Shifting a little uncomfortably as he spoke about Raine, a princess from another kingdom who was of his standard unlike some rebel. [color=f49ac2]“No, I understand. Of course. You thought I was dead. You’d have to think about the kingdom.”[/color] Hearing the confirmation that he loved her was all she needed, she shouldn’t be jealous when he had started to move on with his life without her because that was a decision, she had ultimately made by leaving in the first place.  

[color=f49ac2]“I just hope with me now in the picture it doesn’t damage anything for you.”[/color] Iris sighed softly knowing she was about to cause a lot of drama for him, both with political people and his subjects. All that should matter was the fact they were reunited and could work things out. It shouldn’t be too difficult. Right? 

[color=f49ac2]“Although... won’t it be kind of awkward, this place doesn’t seem big.”[/color] Iris hinted towards the fact Raine was still here, he would have to have some sort of conversation with her about this and then there was Jacob. This brief moment of peace and enjoyment between them wasn’t going to last long.  

[color=f49ac2]“How much longer do you have to stay here?”[/color]
