Iris smiled just listening as Cas called the formal events overrated and how he preferred the atmosphere of bars, still another place she doubted she could go too. A part of her wondered if he had said it to make her feel better, especially as he went on to say the events were kind of snobbish and full of gossip. It was hard not to be curious about it, but it was just a grim reminder of the fact she would never attend something like that, she probably wouldn’t even go into the bars or anywhere in the Capital. At least in the districts she didn’t have to hide, and she could go where she pleased, not that there were many places to visit but she didn’t have to hide away for fear of arrest.
Drawn from her thoughts by what Jay said she looked up about to ask what he meant by a sugar baby, but thought better of it closing her mouth as she listened to them talk on slowly understanding by what they truly meant. It was weird to think that some people where into that, just having an easy life without having to do anything. Some sort of sugar baby was a new concept to her, but you couldn’t really get those in the districts. Of course, there were people that would sleep around to earn something extra, but nothing on that kind of level.
“Yeah.” Iris smiled agreeing with the boys about it being a good choice, though it wasn’t her taste she felt like chiming in, so she didn’t seem too out of place here. Perhaps she would enjoy it more with the food and that was the hope because she didn’t want more things cropping up to highlight how she didn’t belong, not when it was already playing on her mind.
Even with her worries she felt like Cas had caught on, she felt the gentle touch on her back, tracing patterns and it began to calm her. It was such an appreciated gesture and it made her feel better that she wasn’t openly drinking the champagne, he had to understand what she was feeling she hoped he did. Though it did bring up the question of what kind of future they could have together, something she didn’t want to think about but found it hard to stop wondering on the subject matter.
“Oh!” Smiling as she caught Jays question she nodded, “I’m feeling a lot better, despite being stuck with Miles and having to put up with him daily.” Making a playful comment as she relaxed a bit more at the fact she was close to Cas and she could feel his touch soothing her. “I’ve been taught a lot more card games, well remembered how to play. Also, can we talk about the crap reality shows you have here? Do people actually watch that kind of rubbish? I was so shocked and well, curious I couldn’t stop watching it at first. Honestly I don’t get it!” Laughing as she looked towards the door hearing the buzzer of the door again for their food. "I hope that's the food!"
