| Iris POV|

I awoke to the sun eyes, the warmth that was there when I fell asleep, was gone. I turned over to awake Az, my arm met my sheets. I shot open my eyes and looked around the room. No one in sight. Maybe Rhysand had woken him up to go do something. I walked downstairs and found Mor in her usual spot on the couch, with a cup of coffee in hand. "I left some coffee on the counter if you need a cup", she said with a smile. I nodded in thanks, I poured the coffee into a mug, a took a couple small sips before joining Mor on the couch. " Mor have you seen Azriel?", I ask.

" No, I thought you two were already off training", she stated before taking another sip of coffee. The doors open and Cassian stumbles into the room, he slowly walks over to the counter and pours himself some coffee, " We have to stop drinking the good wine", he groans out, he was extremely hung over. I giggled to myself knowing very well that tonight as soon as he can he will drink that wine. " Cassian have you seen Az?", I ask. He takes a sip of coffee before answering, " Nope I just woke up, he probably went to train alone, he does that sometimes", he states. A smile in thanks for the information.

For about an hour me, Mor, and Cassian talked. Amren popped in but soon left. " I guess Az isn't coming back till later, let's go shopping!", Mor exclaimed. I couldn't felt like it was my fault he wasn't back, did I do something wrong last night?! He would have woken me up if he was leaving right? Perhaps he really did go train alone. " That sounds great, I'll go get changed meet you back down here in 15", I said to Mor before going upstairs.

When I got upstairs instead of going to my own room first I went to Azriels room, just to check. I opened the door and peaked my head in, well he wasn't in the bed. I walk in and look around, his knife, Truth Teller wasn't here either. I left the room and went to my own, I got changed into a dark purple flowy dress, I didn't mess with my hair too much, just took two small pieces and braided them together in the back. I put on earrings with purple gems in them to match my dress. I looked in the mirror one last time before meeting Mor down stairs, she was wearing her classic red gown, and off we went.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have lived in this city for many months now, and only gone into the city once. It was truly beautiful, all the Fae living peacefully here, minding their own business, selling everything you can think of, I loved it. Me and Mor wondered into a jewelry store. Mor seemed to know the woman and went to talk to her. I wondered off deeper into the store looking at the fine jewelry. I found a section full of rings. Sliver, gold, black. All with different designs, and gems placed in the. My eyes darted to a pair of rings being sold together, both with a black band and swirls engraved into them. One of them with blue gems complementing the swirls, it was a bigger sized ring most likely for men. The other with a shiny white stone that changed colors based off the lighting, this one was smaller and could fit on my fingers. Something spoke to me about them, I picked up the pair and walked over to Mor, " Does Rhysand pay me? I mean he does so much for me so I don't expect him too, but Azriel gets some money and Cassian, so I was just wondering ", I asked her.

She looked over at me and scrunched her eyebrows in thought. " I believe so, that's more of a question for Rhys, the bastard has been so busy with Feyre the last couple of days, I'll just pay for anything you want for now", she stated. " No Mor, I can just wait till the next time I see him" I argued. " I insist Iris truly", she said with a smile. I handed her the rings and she had the girl bag them, then paid. Mor handed me bag, " Thank you Mor", I said with a huge smile. "Anytime" she said then hugged me.
