How much of Iris's phobia was of pure touch was still in question as one might have observed that certain people got away with it no problem. But then again she wasn't big on strangers being in her space and wasn't going to justify herself about that. Ashton for his part wasn't exactly listening to advice and instead choosing to go annoy Kane, who was still displeased with him from their wedding night but wasn't going to make a scene. Plus he felt like he needed some sense of support with Iris AND Ryan around so he shelved any hurt feelings for the time being.<br/><br/>Ryan being flooded with these kind angels praising him surprised him a great deal with his eyes wide. The compliment from the powerful angel shocked him a little too, "I make do with the gifts I have been granted." He said with a small nervous laugh and a smile. Being always too humble for his own good but he was aware of who some of these figures were even if they never met and it had him feeling a little star-struck. He had always wondered how they would treat him and see him considering how poorly lots of his interactions with Heaven had been up to this point. The offer of a visit left him further dumbstruck but he shook it off quickly, "I really appreciate it... I do! I just... I don't think I would be able to." he admitted not sure the others understood his condition.<br/><br/>Iris just watched quietly offering her support for her brother knows both their fates were not easy in some ways. "It's safe to show them you know." She said softly figuring that they should get it out of the way and that if anyone could help it was the angels in the room here. Ryan looked to her with a surprised glance still not sure this was the best course of action since it felt like he was exposing his shame in front of all these pureblooded creatures.
