Iris looked at Persie; he was lounging with his eyes closed. She asked, "Are you okay?"
Persie answered, his eyes still closed, "I'm fine. I gave him a chance, and he lied to my face. Now I know better, and I'll amuse myself with Demetrius. We'll see how he'll like it."
Honestly, Iris was surprised that Persie had taken the first step. He looked slightly worried this morning, but all it took for him not to be anymore was for Cole to talk to him.
Iris could feel an odd bond between Cole and Persie, like they've met before. She didn't understand why Kronos wouldn't tell her if they did. Then again, Lord Titan does what he wants, including manipulating all the gods around him.
Iris didn't doubt that Cole wasn't done with Persie. There were a lot of feelings coming from him, like he hadn't just met Persie. He looked heartbroken when he was looking at Persie getting out of the water.
