The knock at the door had startled her, forgetting for a moment that there would be others around that wasn’t Miles. After all it was more than likely he had maids, cleaners and people who would cook and clean for him much like Caspian had in the palace. On top of that she had remembered how they had spoken about his parents and sister, although not always around they could be knocking on the door just to check in on their son, right? Biting her lip as she looked at the door she felt her heart stop for a moment, the brash part of her brain thinking it was the military but immediately she knew that was rubbish because they’d just kick down the door, not knock on it politely.
Hearing the voice, she let out a sigh of relief now knowing it was a maid, someone who had brought breakfast and she felt a pain in her stomach reminding her how she had gone a day without eating. Clutching at the blanket she smiled as Miles called out an excuse for the maid not to come in, thankful he had been quick on his feet even through whatever hangover he may have had. They were none the wiser, the maid had left no problem expressing how she’d come back later, and it bought them some time for a little.
“Oh, I don’t think I’m that hungover at all! Well a little headache, but overall, I’m okay. I did ensure that I drunk plenty of water to counter it as I'm not much of a drinker.” Finding herself smiling as she looked over at Miles still all tucked away nicely with the blanket wrapped around her, the soft material still feeling great against her skin and she didn't want to leave the cocoon she had made just yet. “I think poor Cas will be suffering out of everyone. How are you doing?” Avoiding the question of how she had slept, more because she wasn’t too sure how to answer it. Iris could be truthful, say she hadn’t slept, but then would he ask why? That would be a natural question to ask and she didn’t really want to be a burden whilst here, complaining how she couldn’t sleep when he was risking a lot to keep her hidden here.
“You slept soundly, snoring away.” Teasing gently as she rubbed her eyes, a part of her jealous at how soundly he had slept for the night, but it was no one’s fault but hers for not being able to think of other things. “Would it maybe be alright to grab some sort of shower or bath today? I understand if not, just. I don’t want to ask too much of you as just hiding me is enough and you’ve already put yourself at a huge risk with what you did. I’m rambling a little, now aren’t I? Sorry.” Shaking her head as she stopped herself from continuing to talk knowing she was probably embarrassing herself with rambling on when she didn’t need too. All she needed to do was just ask if she could take a shower, nothing more was needed than that.
