As everyone left, The place became rather quiet. never thought it could be like this. Iris said she can stay in her realm but... why did she request to stay? The others are more than eager to leave but not her.

"Maybe she would enjoy a cup of tea?" I thought to myself.

I simply made her a glass of lily tea. i don't know if she will like it but oh well. it's not like I know what she likes. Well, there she is, gazing at the moon outside the house while sitting on the grass.

"Care for some tea?"

I asked. She accepted the offer but simply put the cup on the grass. Oh trust me i would have immediately asked her if she didn't seem to have lost in her own world at the moment. as the coward i am, simply sat next to her but can't muster the question i wanted to ask. The minutes went by felt like eternity for me.

"The moon is beautiful isn't it?"

she asked, breaking the silence.

"Are you asking me?"

I replied.

"Of course, who else is here?"

she giggled a bit.

"it is nice i suppose"

I replied to her. she simply nodded,

"was she expecting another answer?" I thought to myself.

The moon continued to shine like a faint candle in the night sky shining on two actors who didn't know how the script would go. I suppose this is simply not the time yet.

"Why did she request to stay here?" remained a question in my mind that i don't think it is the time to bring it up. I'm too lazy for this anyways.

As I bid her goodbye as she continued to look at the moon. a shame she didn't touch the tea. Who knows? Maybe she'll like it better when the tea is still hot.
