It had been an interesting month for Iris. She had been dragged from her sunless homeland and to a strange place with strange people, her older brother included, and learned a lot about her homeland's distant past. It took her a bit to adjust, but she was doing her best. She was glad to be around old friends and her brother, but there was something about this place that still seemed very off to her.

She had been spending a good chunk of time with the chocobos as of late and it was time to go and look around and get a better feel for the place she was going to be staying for a long time. It wouldn't hurt to talk to some of the others and get to know them a bit better.

So off she went, wandering down halls and testing doors. If they were unlocked, she carefully looked inside to see if it was safe. Come say hi to the little sister.

For the time being the water was being rationed, not strictly mind you, but enough that everyone was a little bit dehydrated and if you wanted to clean up you better be planning to use some of the pool water cause like hell was there enough fresh water for bathing. So eventually when Iris pokes her head into the gym she'll find her brother perched on a piece of equipment, taking a slow drink from his water bottle and then kneeling down beside his poor wilty tigerlily to pour a much more substantial drink into a shallow bowl.

"I know buddy... couple more days and papa can get you more water." As the lily drinks he scritches his ears gently. Then Gladio is capping the bottle and moving over to pull one of the mats down, clearly getting ready to start his workout routine before it gets too hot when he catches her by the door.

"Hey kiddo... what'cha up to?" Please don't mind the train wreck that is his back and shoulders right now. It's fine. Just a few scratches, no big deal.

"Just looking around mostly," she said as she stepped inside and looked at the plant. "What's that?"

She moved a bit closer so that she could get a better look at the tiger lily. It looked kind of familiar to her, but it was still rather odd seeing a plant drink like that. She then looked over at her brother and frowned. He really needed to stop getting hurt.

"Gladdy, you need to stop getting yourself hurt," she said, shaking her head. She knew that he was rather reckless, but he still needed to be careful.

Leo rumbles softly at her, curious, one ear perked up inquisitively, the other angled back towards Dad. The only reason she hasn't been glomped by him yet is just how hard the poor thing is taking this desert heat. All his leaves are droopy and browned on the edges, a few vines withered and dried. Even the plentiful ruff of soft pink and orange petals are limp and wrinkled.

"Hurt?" He tilts his head, confused. Look he does a lot of stupid shit but what'd he do this time? He's not hurt? This is fine.

"And this is Leo... Leopold really for Leopoldii Lillium but Leo." She might recognize the latin name for the breed of tigerlily it was. If anyone was going to it'd be her.

"A tigerlilly? Interesting," she said, moving closer to the plant so that she could get a better look at it. She was glad that she could spend some time with her brother. It had been too long and things got a bit crazy after she woke up here.

She crouched down close to the plant so that she could get a better look. "Poor guy. All this heat is not good for him...or any of us really."

"Yeah him and Cobweb aren't doin' so hot... been givin him some of my water and I know Iggy's been sneaking him drinks too." But he's made almost entirely of water so it's not as though the limited amount of water they have is enough to keep him in good condition.

"It's rough but we've got a plan as soon as powers kick back in. Can't believe I didn't think of it earlier."

"Oh really?" she asked, smiling at her brother. "Please tell me Ignis or someone else came up with the plan and not just you."

She had to have some fun with her brother and she knew that he came up with a few rather odd ideas as they grew up.
