[19:32] +Castle of Gears: Iris was unusually unguarded right now, and Tek was left confused. Unlike him, she never really opened up about anything regarding her past, and he came to accept that as a fact of life. To see her effectively confess to so much at once .. what had gotten into her? Did she break?
[19:32] +Castle of Gears: Tek had to think. He needed Iris too much for Rebirth to succeed to lose her to her own personal issues. Yet, he couldn't be insensitive, or he'd lose her favor. Did this planned conversation thing come to Iris so naturally? How the hell did she do it?
[19:32] +Castle of Gears: Options, options .. reciprocate anger, no, that's wrong. Changing topic was wrong too. Sympathy? .. it was the best shot, but he knew he'd sound insincere. Fuck, she'd cornered him. He had to be sympathetic, and take the risk.
