'Siri'
Iris quickly chirped back. "The world is your oyster." Her tone light and curiosity sated. Although she hadn’t given him much attention at first, it was difficult not to notice Henry’s tanned skin and broad shoulders. She concluded her observation by looking him up and down and humming to herself.
Such thoughts were brushed aside for more somber topics, but only for a minute. Iris didn’t dwell in these feelings. As quickly as it appeared the vulnerability was gone from her eyes and pushed deep inside her, where it belonged. She smirked at the man who wore his heart on his sleeve with apparent ease and gestured for him to drink up.
There was a flicker of surprise in Iris that the audacious avian made the sensible decision of braving the LongNight by the bonfire. And a small pang of envy. ”Good. Go get your feathers ruffled. And maybe bring back a few bottles on your way back.” She emphasized with a playful nudge.
His guild piqued her interest, but the mention of the Grounds’ queen drew her attention. ”What’s her stake in the guild?” Although she still had a lot to learn about politics, Iris knew politicians. And they never did anything simply out of the kindness of their heart. The idea did excite her however. And it wouldn’t hurt to have a farmer or two watching her back on the treacherous landscapes of Caido. ”Who else is part of your guild? Where do you intend to explore?” The questions rushed one after another.
