After Senator Arlong left in a huff, Iris, Levi, and Selena all sighed in relief as Selena commented; "He's going to make getting the council on our side difficult.."
Iris quirked her head up; "What can the Council do to me? Lock me up in the palace? Not allow me to see anything or anyone?"
The level of sarcasm in her voice was poignant. Selena hadn't meant to keep her locked away, but anyone who knew the original Iris would know that she was completely different. The senator was most likely thinking the same thing.
'Iris wasn't known for voicing opinions unless she had to. My Little Flower didn't like conflict in any way, and most certainly wouldn't have told off a senator like that.. Once the initial shock of the night wears off, he'll realize something is different about Iris..'
Before her thoughts could delve further, Selena replied; "I only kept you isolated so no one would realize that you aren't the real Iris-"
