"Mm… ngh…"
Slowly, Iris lifted her head and blinked a few times, like a sleeping beauty arising from her nap. Finn felt the movement in his lap and angled his head down.
"… So, you are awake. Has your strength returned?"
"E-Eh? Ah… yes," Iris hurriedly said and smoothened her armor out, then stood up. "I'm ready now… sorry for making you wait for me like this."
"No need," Finn replied. "If it wasn't for you, we would most likely be dead right now."
"… I've become a lot stronger, Finn," Iris said after a slight pause. "I don't know why, but… I can feel an overwhelming power within me. It's still hard to control, but from here on out, I'll be a lot more useful to you than before."
Finn had not been expecting to hear this of all things, but he didn't let that surprise show on his face and instead calmly responded with his classic "I see".
