Ikor's pov
"I can't put up with you anymore. You act like a baby, it's not so hard to use your brain, Riff!" I yelled at Riff, when I had to save him from trouble. Since Zarnok took his emotions, he doesn't have a sense of danger.
His face filled with sadness "don't say these things, I'm a sensitive man you know" he turned around the other way and started crying.
"I didn't mean to... Wait you are sad? You got back an emotion"
"Ikor you are an asshole" I ignored him
"trying focusing now"
"yeah oh course" he said as tears fell down his cheeks
"ok now what else... Mmm ok I got it" I started to tickle him
"it is not working"
"it will" I insisted, as I continued to tickle him
"leave me alone" he snapped at me
"anger... That's great" then I reluctantly took an snail from the ground and licked it
"ewww!" he made a weird face, pulling himself back 'Disgust'
"I need energy herald" hiuric said
"yeah right. You have gained 3 emotions..."
"I know, I know focus"
I tried making him laugh with one of Eron's stupid jokes that he is so font of. "yeah that's still disgusting"
I was out of ideas "I can't help anymore, we are going to lose our friends"
"what?" he looked at me "I don't want to lose our friends" he felt fear, I forgot about that emotion.
He started mubbling to himself "Riff! Look at me, it's going to be alright forget what I just said" I put my hands on his face "can you hear me?"
His ears twitched up and down, as though he had been excited. Then I felt my face flushing, almost matching his flustered one.
The last feeling... Happiness. He nodded as I let his face so he could win the darkan.
With all his emotions, his focus was better than before. I guess some of us really work with just their heart instead of their mind.
He defeated Zathor and then we took the piece of the heart. Then we got back to the tower.
Some time later
I was outside laying against a tree, while I was reading a book.
'Love... It is a word that many know it but not many understand it. Some never get to experience it throughout their life and some do without knowing. Do you think you know how it feels? I suggest you think again before replying'
Chills ran through my spine. In my mind I recalled Riff's expression this evening. Why did I thought of him?
I DON'T LIKE HIM. How can he come to my mind when this word is mentioned then? Probably because he had a funny expression that seemed as if he had been the one in... In love?
Just stop thinking about it already! I continued reading but the image of him didn't want to leave me in peace.
It is almost like I picked this book on purpose. In every sentence, in every word I could relate, as the feeling of worry grew in a vast race inside me.
