[color=f49ac2]“I would never cheat!!”[/color] Iris found herself laughing as Miles turned it back to her, the idea that she would cheat was preposterous, but she liked the fact he would tease her back. Again, the bright chipper mood taking away whatever worries she had faced. They were still there in the back of her mind, but it was easy to focus on something else if only for a second. [color=f49ac2]“I can assure you I did not pocket any aces; I didn’t even have pockets! I wasn’t even wearing anything with sleeves. You’re just a [i]sore loser[/i].”[/color] Biting back as she could see the smirk on Miles face and she knew already he was just winding her up, but she couldn’t even stay fake mad at him. 

Though she found her gaze wandering back to Cas, the smile being replaced by a frown at the tone of his voice. Seeing him with folded arms over his chest she felt like he was becoming closed off, that he didn’t want to talk or share with them and she felt the worry creep back in. The thought that he actually might not be interested in her anymore, that maybe over the week he had come to find that he wasn’t attracted to her and it had just been the adventure that had drawn them close. [color=f49ac2][i]I thought… we were together? Maybe I got it wrong?[/i][/color] Iris had to stop herself from just outright asking him what his problem was, worried that it would just cause a fight and he would admit to not liking her anymore. Words she didn’t want to hear leave his lips. Iris knew she was probably overreacting to this, but the flashes of that vivid nightmare she experienced a week ago when he had said he never loved her haunted her. 

[color=f49ac2][i]What if I just said something that offended him. Maybe he doesn’t like the fact I’m insulting his best friend? I must have done something wrong[/i][/color]. Nerves began to build up as she couldn’t help but fidget uncomfortably on the sofa worried to speak for a moment because she thought she had done something wrong. Watching Cas she felt herself ease a little as he confirmed she was safe, deciding to focus on this subject of the conversation making her feel a little silly as she had probably just overreacted and read too much into it. [color=f49ac2]“Jacob knows?”[/color] There was worry in her voice, not because the guard knew but she still couldn’t shake off the worry that Cas didn’t like her. 

[color=f49ac2]“Rebel girl?”[/color] Smiling slightly as Miles made the comment, she relaxed a little more, Jacob could be trusted as Cas had said and she believed his word. [color=f49ac2]“I can’t believe he agreed to it…”[/color] Shaking her head she was slightly shocked that he had agreed to keep his word and even throw the soldiers off of her scent. [color=f49ac2]“I’m starting to build up a debt here for people saving my life.”[/color] Trying to make a joke, hoping that it would cheer up Cas a little, she still wondered what brought on that tone of voice. [color=f49ac2]“Though thinking on it, I’m fairly certain that Jacob was the one that made the prison take me to the hospital. If he hadn’t have done that, I don’t know what would have happened.”[/color] Iris could remember hearing his voice bark the orders at someone about moving her, she was certain it was Jacob though it was hard to recall without thinking on that painful time. 

Determined not to dwell on the matter Iris grinned at the boys clapping her hands together, [color=f49ac2]“We should celebrate lockdown being lifted. I know I don’t want to sit around here dwelling on the past. I am safe, you guys aren’t going to be punished. We should be happy. What shall we do?”[/color] Hoping that it would brighten up everyones mood and keep her own mind off of the depressing thoughts.
