Iris gave Ian a shy smile, looking over to where the other three people were in the cave, it wasn't very far and the smile plastered on Ian's face told her, that he had no intention at keeping his hands to himself.
" Maybe it would best if Rhya or Tyla could help me get dressed!? " she suggested with a sheepish look on her face hoping that Ian won't get offended by her little request.
Ian forehead creased, a little displeased at her request but finally nodded in agreement placing a kiss on Iris's lips, reluctantly made his way to where the others were and relayed Iris's message.
Looking around while waiting for either Rhya or Tyla to join her, her eyes settled on a bracelet that looked a little different from the other jewellery in the chest.
Grabbing the bracelet out of the pile to have better look at it, she noticed that it looked older and more used than the other trinkets that seemed to have been untouched compared to that one.
" It belonged to the previous Queen!" Rhya stated from behind her, making Iris breath hitch a little.
Iris turned to look at Rhya giving her a small smile, she hadn't spoken to the woman very much but she seemed nice at first sight.
" I see! Thank you for coming to help me!" she expressed her gratitude while placing the bracelet back in the chest.
Rhya bowed " I have done this many times and it was one of my duties while I was in your service." she informed Iris while lifting her head to look at her.
"I'm grateful for your service!" she politely expressed her gratitude again while looking at the clothes that she was holding.
Rhya nodded and began to undress Iris making sure not to touch the flame that was giving them light.She put on the tunic on Iris that had no slevees, buttoning the tunic up, she the moved on helping her putting on her pants, which seemed to fit her well, just as the tunic who hugged her generous curves but not as revealing as her dresses.
Iris smiled seeing Rhya had finished helping her dress but quickly frowned when she realised that what she was wearing wasn't anything like the dresses before and that made her wonder.
" Thank you Rhya! I was wondering why is this different from my other clothes?" she curiously asked while intently looking at Rhya.
Rhya gave her a small smile " This is something that you used to wear before you ascended to the throne." Rhya politely stated while turning to join the others with Iris following her.
" Hmm...did something happened after, that made me change the way I dressed?" Iris curiously asked while walking next to Rhya at a slow pace.
" No, it's just something that you tried for a short period of time, there other dresses in there with more cover." she informed while turning to look at the chests at the back of the cave.
" I will look for them in your absence and have them prepared for your return. Athan is only your closest advisor, he wouldn't know of their existence as it wasn't part of his duties!" she added while halting her steps next to Athan.
Iris sighed in relief, thinking that this will solve the little problem that she was worried about and Ian can finally be at ease that no one else will look at her breasts.
Ian looked at Iris with a satified smile on his face, leaning closer to Iris whispering" yummy" before placing a kiss on her cheek, making Iris blush lightly.
" Ready?" he asked while straightened himself looking at Tyla who nodded.
Ian strapped Iris blade across her chest placing the blade on her back, making it easier for her to pull out if needed.
Saying their goodbyes to Athan and Rhya, they finally made their way out of the cave stopping next to Bastos who lazily stood up, yawning.
" It's time to go my friend!" Ian said while gently patting the wolf's head who seemed pleased with the pets he received.
The three along with wolf finally began to make their way through the moonlit forest with Tyla leading the way to where the other three people were.
" How long it will take for us to get there?" Iris asked Tyla
" We will be there by morning!" Tyla politely answered while looking ahead to make sure they were heading in the right direction.
" Thank you Tyla!" Iris expressed her gratitude while stealing glances at Ian who just stared at Tyla not taking his eyes of her.
Seeing that Ian was quite tense and still didn't trust Tyla enough " He likes you!" Iris voiced out her thoughts looking ahead.
" Who?" Ian curtly asked his expression remained the same.
" Bastos, likes you!" she added more to her initial statement.
Ian's lips curled up in a roguish smile, looking at Iris from the corner of his eye " What can I say, I'm loveable!" he confidently added while gesturing with his hand at himself making Iris giggle.
" Sometimes!" Iris jabbed with a playful smile.
" Hmm...you're lucky you know, that we are in the middle of the forest otherwise I would have shown you how lovable I can be!" he threatened her mischievously while the wolf let out a soft growl brushing himself on Ian's leg
" See, lovable." he avowed while gesturing at Bastos that kept rubbing his head on his leg.
Iris giggled, her eyebrows knitted wondering why Bastos was so attached to Ian, he never showed anything like that towards her and she found it strange since it was her Kethar.
