Iriss looked up at Hades, remembering how she had called him moments before she had gotten up into the tree. But hearing him call her darling and my dear, took her mind instantly away from that and she found herself blushing. She looked away for a second until she calmed down so he wouldn't notice. "Uh, I was just so confused by the multitude of cats that I was wondering where you were." She answer half-honestly. She had been confused by the amount of cats crowded around all over the place, and she had been wondering where he was, but she had not mentioned that she wanted to make sure he was safe. He wouldn't understand. At least, she didn't think he would. She didn't know him very well. Iriss shivered a big shaking her pelt while she was doing it to make it seem like she was just trying to get something off her. She just hoped he didn't notice she was cold. Iriss liked the view and liked to just gaze at things, but the nice cat that Hades was Iriss highly doubted he would let her stay outside if she was cold. She had to remind herself she was a quest.

Iriss looked at him in confusion. "Excuse me, don't you already have a mate?" Iriss asked. She had heard him say loves, but she highly doubted he had multiple mates already. Did Cress know about the multiple loves thing? Because Cress didn't seem like the nicest cat, and Iriss was pretty sure if she did anything to make Cress mad, she could consider herself dead. She wasn't annoyed, or mad at Hades, she was just confused. She did't know it was possible to be so confused about one cat. She had been confused when there had been many cats a few days before, or possibly that day, Iriss couldn't remember because she had left and taken so many naps things had just blurred together. She had made a friend, a enemy, and started to dislike one cat, and she had been unbelievably confused. But now she was even more confused, and she was only talking to one cat.

Iriss for once in her life was speechless. She had never really been asked anything that she was positive would change her life forever. She was really only used to questions that she could give smart, prickly remarks to. But she couldn't deny that she felt the same way towards Hades. It was a feeling she had never felt before. She cared for him deeply, but she was also concerned, for what if he had more than one mate and she had only met one. What if the other hostile mates wanted to kill her. She wanted to say yes, but she wanted to say no, so instead she just asked a question. "How many mates do you have right now?" Iriss asked, even though she knew she was not answering his question yet.

Iriss turned her gaze away from Hades, looking around at the darkening sky and observing the beauty. She looked at the other branches of the tree with it's small white blossoms and shivered in the cold. She wasn't sure, she wanted to have a permanent home, a family, and love, but she also wanted adventure. She wanted to be able to go all over the place. To be free. The joy of watching the beauty of everything around her, every night in a different place. Would she give that up? Yes. Iriss turned back to face Hades and smiled. "I accept." She purred gently as she never had since she had left WindClan.
