[color=f49ac2]“I guess that’s true, you must have attended quite a few events by now.”[/color] Iris chuckled as he agreed, but only because they were served at every formal event in Aspiria. A part of her had wondered what it was like to attend such formal events, parties and wear such lavish clothing. Dresses that she could never in her lifetime afford but it was hard not to dream about wearing such things or attending parties when she had never experienced it in her lifetime. Though she wouldn’t openly admit it, that at heart she’d love to dress up in an expensive dress and attend a party. [color=f49ac2][i]It can never happen though; I’m always going to be his secret[/i][/color]. Thinking on it some more Iris couldn’t help but find it hard picturing herself at his side, there was no way they could be in the public eye together. They wouldn’t be a normal couple, though what was really normal about their relationship?

Listening to the boys call each other names and discuss about the alcoholic beverages Iris quietly took her own glass as well as one for Cas handing it to him as she settled back using him as a back rest. Listening as they spoke, she heard how Cas couldn’t taste the difference between the expensive drinks and it made her feel a little better. That even he didn’t know the super expensive wines or champagnes, it was strange that it made her feel better, but she knew it was due to the fact she was not versed in all of this. Keeping quiet as Miles’ over exaggerated the fact Caspian didn’t know the difference she found herself getting a little upset, though she kept the smile holding back any sort of emotion. The whole idea of a one thousand credit champagne just made her feel sick, there was so much more to life than this kind of luxury it was hard not to get caught up in it. 

Holding the flute in her hand she glanced at the expensive liquid in the glass, somewhat nervous to even try it as she raised her glass with the others. Not saying cheers because she knew her voice would betray her and again this was meant to be a happy moment and she didn’t want to bring it down. Especially when she didn’t think they would understand why, Caspian might but the other two she doubted they would get it. Raising the glass, she took a sip trying not to pull a face at the liquid that she tasted, it was certainly not for her and she couldn’t picture herself drinking it. 

[color=f49ac2][i]People pay this kind of money to drink this?[/i][/color] Thinking to herself as she held the glass in her lap barely touched. [color=f49ac2][i]Maybe it’s because I’m just not versed in this, I wasn’t raised on this so of course I wouldn’t like it.[/i][/color] Trying to keep positive about the small things, it didn’t matter that she didn’t like it anyway. The only thing that bothered her was then potential judgement from those in the room.
