[ if iris is surprised or put off by the sudden shift in tone of this conversation, he makes no indication of it. of course he hadn't really been mad at finn for making him hike, he knew he could have always stopped it if he wanted, but he's sure someone like jake, who's no stranger to jokes and pranks, didn't genuinely believe all his bellyaching... so he has to assume this is coming from some place else.
iris doesn't have siblings. he wishes he did, sometimes. but even in his wildest dreams, he never imagined someone caring for him as much as jake clearly cares for finn.
he's glad finn has that. ]
can't really blame him, you know? i'm pretty great
[ maybe if they weren't here... maybe if they were back in seattle, in a world that knows what iris is and condemns him for it... he likes to think if that were the case, he wouldn't have let it get this far anyway.
he hopes it's okay to be a little selfish for now. ]
