When the door slightly opened and Arthur saw Iris' gentle face and soft expression, he did not feel the need to flee like he usually would. Her face brought him comfort and reason to remove his cracked mask and reveal an authentic smile.
Iris peered in first just in case she would be catching him urinating, or worse. "Hey, are you...decent?" she asked, making sure to look away in case he wasn't.
Arthur adored how politely she spoke to him, as if he were a human being.
"Yes", he answered simply, with a soft, raspy voice and even opened the door wide for her to see he wasn't doing anything suspicious.
Iris almost felt bad for being so cautious, but she had to be, especially when I came to men. She noticed he was staring at himself in the mirror intently and he looked so lost.

Iris tried to not blush and appear flustered, but it was almost impossible for her to achieve.
"Well...I guess I don't see why not, but I'm only giving you 15 minutes okay?"
