She could see the disgust but it didn't phase her. "Is that something one is required to wish for?" She asked curiously as she looked over the contract carefully skimming over the lines to be sure everything lined up with their demands and within her limitations. "No... I have seen how so many marriages end. It's best that things are kept more formal with an alliance formed through the contract. After all I would prefer to not be another woman in my father's lineage to be murdered under the guise of passion. I was told they all loved each other. Very much." She added with a bitter smile all too wary of romantic love but who could really blame her with all stellar examples around her.<br/><br/>For her part Iris hadn't considered Ashton because while he was the firstborn he was Lucifer's lapdog at best, not someone to make real progress or change. He also had some of the same defects as her father with his part-human line and softness in places he needed to be hard. There was no doubt she would have gotten sick of him but Eden did have good prospects and she was sure she could keep him plenty happy as long as emotions were kept out of it. It seems she would have to do some research on how to accomplish this. There was a brief thought of her wondering if she even had a soulmate. After all Michael and Reake implied she wasn't even a real demon, that her being was an anomaly, and did they made a matching 'set' for someone like her? Probably not. When she looked up from the contract she knew it was as good as it was going to get. "Who do you propose to witness?" It was clear they had feelings about this and Iris could see he thought little of her beside a means to an end but she had never let people's judgments bruise her self esteem.
