Okaaaay, finally jumping in for real now! Just gonna start off with not directly intruding on anything right now to get my bearings, then will probably butt in and bother people. I also figured that since Iris is right under a tree it would be hard to see her from Varlam's point of view. I tried to get a sense of how long the characters have been living there and how Varlam might have interacted with them before, but if I got something wrong or something needs to be changed, please let me know! I'm happy to edit anything that needs editing. Also if no one wakes Iris up anytime soon, bird boy will certainly do that lol.
