THE PAIN AND TEARS

What Joel said snapped them out a little bit, as Dyne tried to talk to Iris that it was not appropriate for her to do so to Joel. After all, he was a young man and was not a child. 

More so, touching someone else's legs was something that extremely inappropriate to do for someone with status like Iris. 

"Luna, you need to stop this, you can't touch his legs. It is not right for you to lower yourself to…" Yet, Zephyr stopped in mid sentence with whatever words he was going to say when Iris simply threw him a dagger look, as if telling him to shut his mouth. 

Seeing such fierce look, no one of them dared enough to speak out again, leaving Joel with dreadful feeling. 

"Please, stop it, luna…" Joel was way more concern with the fact Iris touched his legs rather than these mysterious little lights that surrounded his legs by now.
