There's a panhandler who hangs out on the street corner by our dispensary every afternoon with a sign that just says "Green 4 Green?" and tbh, I respect my boy's confidence.

Hobbies: Writing, fitness, driving/exploring, hiking, camping, traveling, tabletop games, anything NEW (I love trying things I've never done before)

Favorite Genres: Modern, Historical, Romance, Action/Adventure, Horror/Dark, Fantasy, Slice of Life, Dystopian, can be convinced to write some Sci-Fi

No problem!
In regard to Arla noticing what was going on around her, I didn't have a preference tbh. If you're referring to the way Rayth reacted in thinking it was "too soon" that was just because his game plan was to try and warm her up slowly to the circus. He started by telling her that he wasn't human, and then would have added that everyone else wasn't either if she responded well to that. He probably would have avoided the subject of the after party for a while after that though, haha. Of course, things don't always go according to plan, so I personally didn't need the story to go any particular direction there. If we leave it as it is, Rayth would just have to scrap his original idea, which is something he would have been able to do just fine since he's pretty good at thinking on his feet ^^
It's fine! When it comes to minor points in the plot, I don't care too much about how they turn out. I'll usually just play around what my partner does unless the reaction just doesn't make sense for my character. As long as we're on the same page with the big twists, that's the important thing :)

When Iris spoke positively about leaving the hospital, Cas bit his lip. It sounded like she didn’t understand what it actually meant for her to be released, and he wasn’t sure if he had the heart to tell her. How was he supposed to explain to her that she might wind up on the streets because the doctors couldn’t hold her anymore? It wasn’t even her fault that she’d gotten amnesia in the first place. From what he’d seen, it had looked like an unfortunate accident. She didn’t deserve to lose both her memories and her life in the capital just because she’d stumbled into a hunter’s trap one night.
He was just contemplating how to break the news to her when he noticed something in her expression change. She must have figured it out on her own. However, instead of getting depressed or worried about it, she tried to stay optimistic instead. Even though she put on a smile, he didn’t match it. Knowing she was probably just hiding her fears by wearing a brave face, he pitied her too much to just pretend like everything was okay. If her family didn’t come to get her by tomorrow, she was going to have a lot she needed to figure out in a short period of time.
“I’m sure they’re hurrying as fast as they can,” he agreed when she said someone was bound to pick her up. If they’re even around, he added silently. Though he didn’t want to believe it, Dr. Emett’s words stuck in his brain like a thorn. What if her parents had died? What if she really had been living alone, and no one even knew she was gone? It seemed unlikely to him that her friends wouldn’t notice her absence after a few days without contact, but if they didn’t know something bad had happened, they wouldn’t have any reason to jump to the conclusion that she was at the hospital. They wouldn’t know where to look for her, and they definitely wouldn’t find her in time to offer her help before she was released.
As Iris said that walking around outside might spark her memories, Cas nodded. “Maybe,” he dropped his gaze, brushing some lint from his shirt to avoid eye contact. “At least if you’re outside, there’s a chance you could stumble into a place you remember. It’s better than sitting around here all day.” Since she had recovered a few simple memories so far, he was hopeful that she would keep remembering more when she got out. All it seemed to take were the right triggers. The only thing missing was a place for her to stay while she worked on getting through her amnesia.
“I hope your family comes here tomorrow morning excited to see you again,” he said earnestly. “But if for some reason they don’t…” he swallowed, looking up to meet her blue eyes again. “I’m going to ask my dad if it’s okay for you to stay at our place until you remember where your home is.” He sighed, combing his fingers through his hair. “He’s not always the most reasonable man, so I can’t tell you if he’ll agree or not. I just wanted you to know that you might still have a place to go if for some reason no one else calls about you before tomorrow.”

It's definitely the best part about winters here ^^ I used to live in central AZ though, so I know what you mean. It was a total desert and never even got close to snow. Summers were hell too. Sometimes it would get to 120 degrees outside (49 C) and I wanted to die xD
That's good! I still need to watch it someday.
Cas and Iris are both the sweetest people, and I love it cx
Okay, goodnight! You too ^^

I love it ^^ Snow makes everything so pretty and quiet.
Nice! I still haven't seen that actually. It's been on my list for way too long, haha
Got it done! Cas is uncomfy about breaking the news to Iris that she might have nowhere to go ^^;

Cas liked the enthusiasm in Iris’s voice when she greeted him. He’d never been around someone who was so genuinely eager to see him before. It was nice to walk into a room and see her face light up at the sight of him. Of course, he knew that her excitement was probably due to the fact that she would have been happy to see anyone who wasn’t wearing scrubs, but he still liked to think it had something to do with him too. He wondered if she had always been this bubbly of a person or if the amnesia had changed her somehow. Knowing they had plans to keep hanging out after she got out of the hospital, he hoped she was like this all the time.
“It went fine,” he answered when she asked about his talk with Dr. Emett. Really, he had just learned that there were quite a few unsolved problems that he had to deal with after conversing with the doctor, but he saw no reason to involve her in those. He also didn’t know how to talk about any of them without giving away more than he wanted to about who he was.
She might find out soon anyway though, he suddenly realized with a wince. He could always ask Dr. Emett to keep his name anonymous if she asked about who had paid for her medical bills, but if his father agreed to let her stay with them, she would learn he was the son of the Aspirian king as soon as she saw his house—who was he kidding? It was a freaking castle. There was no hiding the wealth that was attached to his family name. It was entirely possible that tomorrow, she would come to realize she had been receiving visits from royalty. He just hoped she would take the news well if it came to that.
As Iris brought up the fake café again, Cas hesitated. He knew she wouldn’t be staying in the hospital long enough for him to visit her here again, but he wasn’t sure if he should tell her or not. It felt like news she should hear straight from Dr. Emett, since he was the authority figure in the building. “Yeah, maybe,” he shrugged. “If your family hasn’t come for you by then…” He trailed off, uncomfortable with the thought of lying to her. He wished he already knew what would happen, so he could just tell her that she was going home or that he could offer her a room at his place, but everything was up in the air.
Still, he couldn’t bring himself to keep her in the dark.
“Um, actually,” he exhaled, leaning forward in his seat and clasping his hands together. “Dr. Emett said he’s going to be releasing you tomorrow. Tonight will be your last night in the hospital.”

It's fun as long as I don't have to drive in it. Last winter, we got three feet (do you guys use metric? I think it's about a meter) of snow in one day and I had to shovel it out of the driveway. I never knew water could be so heavy xD
But yeah, if you're indoors, the best thing in the world is just sitting by the fireplace with a cup of hot tea, watching the snow fall ^^
Oh, fun! What movie are you watching?
Thanks! There's a fast food spot in the city we're going to that I love, so that's what I'm excited for, haha.
I'll get started on a post for you now too :)

Yeah. And it's close to the equator, so it really doesn't get that cold there anyway ^^
It'll be a nice break from the weather where I live though! Arizona is known for being a desert, but I live in the northern part of the state in the forest and mountains, so we get a lot of snow.
Dang, that was late xD At least you're done now!
I can't wait for it cx
Also, I might not be online when you're awake tomorrow because I'm going on a day trip with a friend. She'd getting her first tattoo in another city and wanted me to come with her since I already have 4, haha

At least Dr. Emett sounded willing to give him time to collect the money from his father. Since it was such a large amount, it would probably take at least twenty-four hours to transfer from his account to the hospital’s, plus however long it took for him to calm the king down when he finally told him what he’d done. He already knew there was no way Atlas would approve charity work like this right away. He just hoped he would be reasonable enough not to delay the payment for weeks.
Then there was the unsolved issue of what to do with Iris since she couldn’t stay here any longer. He wanted to believe his father would be willing to take her in, since their house had more than enough room for one more resident, but he knew Emett was right. It was ridiculous to think that an amnesiac girl had come here to hurt him—why would she have wandered out to the woods to do something like that?—but the king was a cautious man. If there was even a sliver of a possibility that she could be dangerous, he wouldn’t want her anywhere near their house. He wouldn’t think her safety was worth the risk.
Cas was just beginning to wonder if he should even bother making the request when the doctor surprised him by offering advice. He met Emett’s gaze with lifted brows as he told him to ask his father when he was under the influence of his medication. It didn’t seem like the most ethical advice a medical professional could give someone, but he appreciated it nonetheless. “That’s a good idea,” he agreed. Maybe he could bring up the hospital bill then too. Anything that would better his chances of getting away from that conversation unscathed was good news in his book.
As Dr. Emett went on to warn him about the difficulties of taking care of a person with amnesia, he nodded thoughtfully. He hadn’t really thought about that before, but it didn’t deter him from wanting to do what he could to help Iris. Even if she didn’t have an easy time getting her memories back, at least she wouldn’t be alone. Plus, they didn’t know for sure that she would be staying with him the entire time she recovered. Her family could still call at any time, asking for her to come home. He hoped they would.
“Thanks for the heads up,” he smiled gratefully. “I’ll be sure to keep that in mind if my dad agreed to let her stay with us.”
When the doctor hurried off to his office, Cas unfolded his arms to check the time on his phone. It was almost nine, so he didn’t have much time left. However, he had a feeling his night was far from over. His father would be taking his medicine soon, so he needed to talk to him as soon as he got home. There was a lot to cover. He mused if he would have enough time to hit a drive thru and get coffee somewhere on his way back. The caffeine boost might be necessary.
Looking up again, he saw Dr. Emett return with a bottle of pills. He recognized it as the same kind the king was already taking. “Thanks,” he took the container from the older man’s hand and slipped it into his jean pocket, so he wouldn’t forget it on his way out. “I’ll give it to him when I get home.” Thinking about the doctor’s last question, he shook his head. “No, that’s everything. Thanks again, Dr. Emett. I’ll see you when you come by tomorrow.”
Having covered all the topics he had needed to, Cas opened the door to Iris’s room and headed back inside. “Hey there,” he greeted her with a friendly smile, stepping over to the swivel chair and sitting down. “I hope it wasn’t too boring without me.”

I did like it! I’m running an errand this morning that’s taking longer than I expected, but I can write a reply when I get home!
He’s doing his best cx His secret probably won’t last much longer though lol
