As much as she had wanted Cas to sit beside her she couldn’t just outright say it as it would draw unwanted attention to themselves, plus she could handle not sitting next to him as she had already waited a week just to see him again. “Hey no fair! You can’t gang up on me.” Huffing as Cas mentioned it sounded like her finding it hard to accept kindness at times. Iris didn’t know why she was like it, accepting help from others was often difficult and she wondered how she had developed that kind of behaviour. It was hard to understand everything fully especially when she still couldn’t remember everything about her life, even with the main parts of it unlocked there was still a lot she didn’t know.
“I was being kind; didn’t want to hurt your feelings or make you feel self-conscious over your snoring.” Iris stated in a matter of fact tone but she couldn’t keep a straight face as the soft laughter left her lips at the playful nudge of his elbow, he clearly wasn’t offended but it was always fun to make these kind of remarks. In fact, a lot of these banter comments and light-hearted jokes between them had kept her from crumbling, the laughter stopped the tears and it was becoming easier to forget as each day passed. Especially with his bright personality.
Glancing back over at Cas as he took the sat adjacent to them, she smiled as he spoke about his time, “How are you doing now? You’re looking loads better, have the… injuries nearly healed?” Her tone softer, a pang of guilt as she hesitated at saying the injuries because he’d never have had them if it wasn’t for the rebellion and Ethan and her father. The man who had started this whole ordeal off.
“Oh! Well, not too much. I think I’ve watched a lot of the latest movies now, we just sort of chatted and hung out really.” Tapping her fingers against her knee as she tried to recall the activities they had done, “Ohhh but Miles did teach me some various card games, turns out I already knew how to play a lot of them… I eh… just didn’t remember.” Feeling a little sheepish at the fact she did know how to play more games than just snap, she just couldn’t remember. “At first, I only thought I knew how to play snap, but apparently not. I’ve got quite the lucky hand with cards.” Smiling proudly at the idea she was becoming better at the game, that and she had remembered something more of her life. It was only little, but it will still something.
“I’ll be sure to whoop you at cards next, I honestly think Miles cheats.” Casting a sideways glance at Miles with the playful jibe that he cheats at card games.
Fidgeting on the sofa she was itching to have a moment alone with Cas, to just find out if he truly was okay. If they were okay, but again she had to remind herself that being patient was key though she couldn’t help but ask her burning questions curious to know if they were truly in the clear. Sighing softly to herself she glanced at her hands that had intertwined with one another neatly in her lap, “It’s felt like a long week. I can’t lie I was anxious every time there was a knock at the door. Do you think you all got away with it? That I won’t be taken back there.”
