So is Iro gonna have sex with other people while dating?

Hey Anon,

I don’t think you meant ill by this question, but your phrasing implies that you expect the worse of her. I don’t know if this is because Iro is female (since you didn’t ask about the incubus) or if it’s because she’s aro, or something else, but here’s a few asks I think you need to read.

1. Aromanticism is a real orientation and all too often treated poorly

2. Asked and answered here.

3. Long term relationship with Iro?

4. What sort of feelings will she have during a ‘romance’ with Gabriel?

Iro feeds on desire. She doesn’t take off her clothes for her meals. What she does is entice, arouse, and then feed. Usually she doesn’t even have direct contact with her prey. I’ve answered this extensively; check the index for more. Next ask for Iro in this vein owes me a coffee.

i feel so goddamn ridiculous for asking this, but im really curious about what are the ROs favorite genre of *adult films*? 😖💦 do they even have time for that??? idk dude

I don’t really know what is entailed by genre of adult films. Most of the cast doesn’t like watching them. (See here)

For the ones who would watch, a little more below.

1. Alice: She’s here to poke fun at it, so whatever

2. Stephanie: She doesn’t watch them on her own and hasn’t watched any before so she has no idea where to start.

3. Charleston: You’re not watching for him. He’ll watch if you put something on but that’s on you.

4. Leo: Not interested on watching on his own time and doesn’t want to watch with Gabriel either but will if they enjoy it.

5. Ramiel: Doesn’t watch for himself, doesn’t care.

6. Iro: Not anything humans produce that’s for sure. She has contacts though, knows how to get the good stuff if you’re into it. On her own? Why watch a record when you can watch actual people?

How viable would a relationship with Iro be in which Gabriel craves affection and attention from them; Heaven 'rejects' them, so its like an abusive relationship in which they chase Iro's approval because its the only thing that truly soothes their heart? Iro's always been described as independent and aromantic, but would she lie and dangle saying that she loved them in front of a wire to wrap Gabriel around her finger? I'm an angsty gal, in case it wasn't obvious lol.

Iro doesn’t lie about love, at least, not directly. She doesn’t need to. While it’s flattering that you seek her approval, she is not responsible for your happiness. That’s on you. Demons deal in trades and giving one what they believe they desire. However, what you seek isn’t something she can offer. She also has little sympathy for your situation, scoffing at the notion that an archangel, one of the most powerful creatures in existence and a powerful position within Heaven, knows what rejection truly is.

Iro has come to view love as a weakness she thankfully doesn’t possess. She’s seen people do crazy things under the pretext of love. Another demon might not have qualms about using whatever tools at their disposal to manipulate others and gain powers, but as self-serving as Iro is, she refuses to sink to that level. Besides, if you love her, then you’re already wrapped around her finger without her having to do something so pathetic as lying about herself.

Will we be able to kill Iro and/or Lilith?

I’ve gotten a few of these asks about killing off certain characters, and I’ll give the more generic answer as it’s a little tiring to answer repeatedly (especially when it’s about ROs. No, I don’t expect everyone to like them but if you do like a character, it can be quite grating to read about people wishing specifically for their death.) 

Pretty much all the major characters are capable of dying and/or being killed depending on what you do. Factions are formed in the second book and sides are chosen. Sometimes that means you will cross blades with someone. I’m honestly not sure why Lilith is being included. Yes, she is a character in the game, but her role is not a major one for most routes, and she gets very little direct screentime either way.

I heard that being aromatic means you feel little to nor romantic attraction to others ( idk if I'm right, I'm sorry ) , so does Iro even care about us? 😭 I have a bad habit of liking the ones who are impossible

I’ve talked about this a bit, but I’ll summarize here. No, she will never ‘love’ you in the romantic fashion. But there are plenty of other kinds of ways people can care about one another. Think of your best friend. Or a beloved family member. None of these are romantic attraction, but they are still arguably strong attachments.

As for what extent Iro feels anything about you... you’ll have to wait and see. But she is still a romance option for Gab. Just don’t expect lovey-dovey from her. Ever.

I know the answer might be spoilers but I have to at least ask. What does Iro do with the cute little notes?

You’ll just have to ask her yourself. (In other words, you’ll have to talk to her in-game and maybe then you’ll know.)

Lol, Iro’s response to jealous Michael is hilarious 😂 I guess she’s got a point though haha. Out of curiosity, would anyone actually take her up (or think about it) on “joining” her and Gabriel?

Alice has been there, and is never, ever going there again. She would shoot any of her friends for their own good if they considered it.

Aelius has joined her in the past, and while he might be interested if the primary RO was Iro, he would not want Iro anywhere near his Gabriel if Aelius is the primary RO.

Tadea would be the most intrigued (if she is the new alpha) by the offer. Iro is, after all, quite hot, and it would be... fun to learn from someone so experienced.

Could we convince Iro to feed from kissing instead of sex?

Without getting into specifics, let’s just say that Iro’s definition of sex probably doesn’t fit most conventional definitions.

In fact, she doesn’t care to kiss (lips-to-lips, anyways) most of the people she feeds from. So feeding from a kiss isn’t something she’s keen on doing.

That being said, she can be talked into feeding in ways that make what she has with Gabriel feel more exclusive.
