Research!
After finding her way to Milliways again, Iris finally learned about the rooms upstairs.
And there is a library!
A copy of Aesop's Fables gets produced for Iris, and is read several times over with great interest and confusion (at times), before really thinking about the opportunities.
"...Where could I find a scroll on...genetics?"
The book provided by the library engrosses Iris for quite some time - she gives up the attention required to hide her wings from view after the first hour.

"No, I imagine they couldn't find anyone as trustworthy or loyal as you."

"Did you have any other questions?"

"I have none." No assignments, nor personal projects. "Why do you ask?"

"Because I'd like to spend the rest of it with you."

Iris kisses Charles on the cheek and hovers there for a minute. "I think that would be perfect."
no subject

"Perfect." Repeated for no useful reason.
"But what shall we do?"
no subject
He's quite happy to be with her and learn more of how she feels and kisses and the different ways she's happy.

The muscles in between Iris' shoulderblades twitch, causing her wings to shift slightly against her chair.
"Though I must become more accustomed to the idea of having to negotiate with my wings. So much furniture," she laughs, squeezing Charles' hand slightly.

Exploring will pull them farther from where other people might enter.
no subject
Just be quiet and take a suggestion, Iris!
"...but seeing more of the library seems like a good start to things."
When she stands, Iris hooks her arm through Charles' as they walk to the open area.
no subject
Its not much but there's light coming from somewhere and a couch just the right size for two people, "I think this should work."
no subject
Seemingly out of nowhere.
Iris sits poised at the edge of the couch now, wings trailing down the back.
"I wonder because -- well. I always thought mortals would have an issue with them, but you barely seem concerned."
