[color=f49ac2]“I thought my father was the leader of it, I guess he was just a pawn in someone else's game. Ethan... me...”[/color] Iris sighed shaking her head confused by it all, who was truly behind this rebellion? [color=f49ac2]“I’m no one special, I doubt they would use me anymore.”[/color] Hearing him promise that fact too warmed her heart, that even with the separation between them he felt so strongly about her.  

[color=f49ac2]“Eh... well. You know me.”[/color] Iris tried to wash it over, that it had been days since she had eaten. Food had always been a sore subject at times, especially when she had been trapped in the hotel by herself. [color=f49ac2]“Sorry, I promise I’ll do better.”[/color] Hoping that would ease his worries about her, plus she had a feeling that everything would change now. With her in the picture she half expected him to wrap her up in cotton wool, ensuring that she was well looked after.  

Iris was still hesitant at the thought of facing everyone, Caspian seemed to be certain it would be okay, but she was cautious. By showing up Iris had ruined any alliances and what if Raine was bitter about her showing up? She wasn’t anything special, she wasn’t any sort of class unlike Raine. Biting the bottom of her lip she followed along silently not wanting to draw any attention to herself.  

Entering the room, it felt hostile, and she felt his grip tighten as he looked over at Jacob. Iris in turn avoided looking at Jacob, as well as Raine on the sofa feeling awfully aware of the silence in the room. Glancing at Caspian she nodded at his offer of the pantry, but she knew she wouldn’t eat not whilst she was worrying over what he was about to talk to Jacob about.  

[color=f49ac2]“Right...”[/color] Trailing off as she looked at Caspian before daring a glance at Jacob, the guilt apparent in her face because she knew this wasn’t going to end well. It was a miracle she had gotten Caspian to agree not to fire him, to make that promise as she knew he would still get mad. In truth she was surprised he hadn't directed any sort of anger towards her just yet, it was bound to happen as this wasn’t all Jacobs fault.  

[color=f49ac2]“Cas... just. He saved me remember.”[/color] A gentle plea to Caspian in hopes that he wouldn’t be too harsh, that he would be kind to the security guard. [color=f49ac2]“Please...”[/color] Looking back at Caspian hoping he would listen; she didn’t want Jacob to get into any sort of trouble. Not after the lengths he had gone to keep her alive, it had been a difficult recovery, but he had ensured her safety and brought her back from the brink of death.  

Had Jacob not been there she would have died; she would never have gotten another chance to see Caspian or another chance at life. Now it was time to face the consequences, but she didn’t want anyone to get hurt.
