The commotion started to pick up and Kane was feeling a little overwhelmed. These were all people that cared about him and they were hosting? It was one thing at the wedding but adding his kid on top? His palms were starting to sweat from the showdown that might take place. Iris and family had gone down just barely but adding Ryan into the mix and every part of his protective father self told him he didn't want this evening to take place. What was Ab thinking? Things were still too raw between all of them and no amount of groveling or amends was going to fix it for a quiet dinner. Arriving late to the event were Ashton and Iris. Ashton already looking like he might have had a few drinks and Iris looking displeased with, in her words, having to 'collect' him up the way she had.<br/><br/>She stepped into the house barely noticing Kane and pretty much made a beeline for Ryan. Her expression softened and she even cracked a smile as her bother lit up. "Iris! We haven't seen each other in ages!" It appeared even he knew better than to ambush his sister with affection, instead taking her hand, placing it over his own heart and putting his hand over it. "Missed you." He said as she returned a small smile. "Likewise." She almost whispered but Ashton was quick to add it. "Hey hey! Repunzel, things going well for you two?" He asked with a waggle of the eyebrows, he could always brush it off as his usual suggestive self but really he also knew about the outfits Ab had deployed on his man. Iris moved around the room with a more distant greeting before returning to her brother's side. The energy between the two of them was good at least even if they chose to spend their time in different places.
