Travel agents, I guess there are jobs I’ve never heard of before. I wonder what that kind of work is like. Travelling, seeing the world. Iris couldn’t help but wonder what it was like, it sounded vastly different to the life she had growing up and then she felt it, a pang of jealousy. Jealous over their lifestyles that they had; how easy it had been growing up for them not wanting anything. Not struggling for anything or suffering with hunger pains. Stop it. It’s no one’s fault, I shouldn’t feel jealous. Trying to push down her feelings as she forced it to one side, they were being kind to her, they had rescued her so she had no business feeling jealous even if it was for a fleeting moment. The discomfort however did not pass, but she saw Cas give her a reassuring smile and it helped a little.
What a beautiful home. Walking through the halls as she followed the others, she couldn’t help but look at her surroundings taking in how stunning the place looked. It was different to the palace, but it screamed high born, oozed luxury and was very sleek and modern. It was beautiful and she wished she could own something so beautiful; she’d be proud to own something like this but that would never happen. To her it was just another unattainable dream and something she should stop thinking about.
When they stepped inside to the bedroom, she couldn’t help but look at the interior, the sleek black décor complimented by greys and light browns. It was amazing and could certainly take anyone’s breath away, well probably not other high borns just to commoners like me, I guess. The thought happened before she could stop it, but she couldn’t deny that it was a beautiful room.
Standing in the doorway she felt uncomfortable taking a step inside, she honestly felt like she was just a piece of dirt that would clutter up the bedroom that looked so clean and tidy. Iris didn’t want to ruin any of the items inside, she didn’t want to make anything dirty and the uncomfortable feeling didn’t cease. Anxiety began to rise as she rubbed her arms trying not to look so frightened or out of place, but it was hard. Watching as Cas strode over taking a seat, she edged inside slightly knowing she just couldn’t stand in the doorway, it would look odd for one.
Biting her lip, she wanted to sit down because her body ached, she still hurt and still wanted to rest but again she didn’t want too. Though just as she was about to make her mind up, she looked up as Miles offered her some clothes to wear, baggy comfortable looking clothes that would be so much better than the hospital gown. “A-Are you sure?” Without realising her voice had sounded unsure, a little frightened as she took the clothes from him glancing towards the glass doors that led to the bathroom and then to the closet as he mentioned how it was more private. “I’ll just eh… ah.. thank you.” Finding it hard to find the words as she pointed to the closet as she moved to get herself changed opting for the more private option.
Safely in the closet she glanced at the outfit before she pushed herself to get changed, still a little unsteady and most of her energy spent it had become a bigger task to change her outfit than she had thought but asking for help was out of the question. Grimacing as she lifted the top over herself, she then pulled the shorts up thankful they had an elasticated waist which sat loosely around her hips and the T-shirt was a little baggy, but she felt comfortable. Glancing at her bare arms and legs she could see the odd bruising and as she touched her legs, she could feel a slight scratchy sensation which only made her grimace feeling self-conscious around them all. Pushing her thoughts to the back of her mind she gathered up the hospital gown in her arms and went to head out catching sight of herself in a mirror and frowning. What a mess. Though the swelling on her neck had pretty much disappeared, the bruising was still there but faded looking like it was on the road to recovery at least. The bandaging in the hospital had really helped.
“Where should I put this?” Moving out of the closet she held the bundle of the gown in her arms using it to hide behind a little as she was starting to feel drained.
