[He didn't think it was important, but it was just another part of her point. Because of the way she found out.]

I'd asked Mr. Mosley about the messages. Not only did he not have any idea what I was talking about at the time...but because he found out and wasn't happy about it, he...punished Athena. [Rather, her bank account. RIP savings.] I tried to call her to apologize...and she told me.

[She wasn't mad at Athena, and though at first she'd still been too upset about the Mosley situation, even after meditating over everything, she still wasn't. Because it wasn't about the lie itself. Or the fact that they tricked her. What upset her most...was that he seemed to think it was the better option. Rather than just ask her himself.]

You really didn't know? [Her heart sank even further at his words.] You still thought, after all this time...all we've been through...

[That she could have ever possibly wanted to be with anyone else?]

Was it me? Did I...do something to make you feel that way?

[Too good to be true. A sentiment she could actually relate to.]

[Things were...starting to make a little more sense now, and while her eyes still stung a little, she no longer felt like crying.]


...I still don't like the fact that you didn't just come to me.

[But she seemed calmer now.]

[That was all she needed to hear; the promise of total honesty. For better or worse.]

Yes. I'd...like that very much.

[Ironically, it was only then that a single tear made it down her cheek. One she quickly wiped away as she smiled up at him. Relieved that had all been settled...]

[...only frown again, this time in a confused contemplation.]

Simon...Sunshinequill? Is that the person whose picture she sent me?

[She echoed the name on her lips. Prosecutor...Simon Blackquill. Not Sunshinequill? But...wait...]

If he's a Prosecutor...does that mean he's somebody from the same world as us?

[Iris, yours isn't the only world with Prosecutors in it.]

[...or maybe it is.]

He sounds...interesting.

[Samurai and Hawks and Courtrooms, oh my.]

Is he here? ...is that why Athena had his picture?

[...]

[. . .]

[An important person...]

[...]

[Phoenix would actually be able to see the moment a little light in her head turned on. Eyes widening, her lips parted as a near-inaudible 'oh' of realization escaped her.]


Then he's--!

[She'd mentioned someone. Before. Someone she...cared about very much.]

[...she had cut herself off, but not soon enough; only after the fact--combined with the look on Phoenix' face--did Iris realize...this was...probably not something she should speculate on. Not without talking more to Athena about it.]

[After all, she wasn't a gossip.]


Ah, we...had a conversation a little while back about...people that we liked.

She never mentioned his name, but...I suppose, if she cared enough about Mr. Blackquill to keep his picture with her, then he must have been that person for her.

[There. She maintained her promise of being honest, while also not betraying anything Athena hadn't already hinted at on her own, publicly.]

[!!!]

[Athena...hadn't actually mentioned the dating part. Not in any way Iris could recall. Although...now she felt a little better, knowing Phoenix knew about Athena's feelings as well.]


...poor Athena.

[Because she knew what happened to people who were no longer "here"]

To care for someone like that and then...lose them all over again.

I don't think he's so odd.

[Because of course she knew who he was. Even if she won't mention him by name because timelines yay. She'd not only seen them together, but heard both sides of their story. To a degree. Seen how happy being with one another made them feel.]

[Which is...or could be...a potential complication in the future, if Athena's previous precious person were to ever return. So complicated that...Iris was going to focus more on the here and now. And Phoenix' comment about Merlin being odd.]


In fact, I think he's very sweet.

[The thought brought a momentary smile to her face--before she considered something.]

Oh! I should...probably let you get back to your evening, then, Feenie.

[Given how abruptly she had sprung her presence and questions on him. And also the fact that they were still standing in his apartment door.]

I won't take up any more of your time.

[She saw what he was doing the moment he took her hands, and her eyes reflexively closed until the gentle touch of his lips brushed against her cheek. Her lips parted, a soft sigh escaping her. For once, his face was redder than hers when she eventually opened her eyes again and looked up at him.]

Then...would you like to, perhaps, go for a walk?

[She took a step back, keeping their grip loose, in case he needed to part for a moment. To...get something or change or whatever before they officially headed off.]

[Of course, if he needed only to close the door behind him, then that would work as well.]
