"I think nothing of the sort! I'm not lying to you, Iris, I'm not trying to tease you, for once I'm telling the truth about something I haven't seen fit to share with anyone by my immediate family, and you characteristically insist that I'm lying!"
*He took yet another step closer, so that their noses were mere inches apart.*
"I'm quite aware that the story is unbelievable; I had hoped you might trust me enough to believe me!"

“Of course I trust you! Why would I tell about my mother and my sisters if I didn’t? You don’t understand!”
*Tears formed in Iris’ eyes but the resentment in her voice didn’t falter.*
“Do you know what I would give for people to return from the dead? For my father to be alive and everything to be the way it was back in England.”

*He at this range could see the tears in her eyes, and he couldn't help it. He stopped. He'd seen his own sister reduced to tears, and that always meant something truly upsetting had happened. If there was any similarity between Iris and Adrienne, it was that they weren't prone to tears.*
*He stepped away, suddenly looking more vulnerable than angry.*
"I... I'm sorry for yelling. I shouldn't have done that."

*Iris hastily wiped her eyes and returned to her seat, picking up the fallen cup on the way.*
“It doesn’t matter. I just hope we didn’t upset the others.”

*He hesitated, but suddenly he just sat down right beside her and wrapped his somewhat-too-long arms around her and pulled her to him in a mostly-platonic hug.*

*At any other time, Iris would have pushed Nicolas off and then start to shout. But right now, she needed this. She returned his embrace and buried her head in his shoulder.*

*A very muffled voice came from Nicolas’ shoulder.*
“If you really did die, what does that make you now?”

"Alive. I'm pretty sure. Considering I almost died once after that. Unless I'm a zombie, in which case I should be eating your brains."

“I’m surprised you wonder why I have trouble believing anything you say.”

*He grabbed her around her waist, pulling her onto his lap and grinning.*
"Can't escape because I'm stronger!" *He said brightly, resting his chin on her shoulder.* "And anyway I had to spend my childhood in the underworld. It makes sense I'm childish now that I have the chance to be."

“The Underworld frowns on juvenile behavior? I thought that they had far more important things to do.”

"Surrounded by a bunch of dead people who resent you for still having a chance at being alive isn't exactly the best environment for juvenile behavior."
