I walked back with Tilly toward Mikota and Tama, who were finishing their food, while Iona had a far off look. I kissed Tilly on the light blue skin of her cheek and then squeezed her hand before breaking away to see Iona.
Lost in thought, Iona didn't see me coming until I was right in front of her. When she did, a scowl crossed her blank face, and I received a harsh glare. Jeez! Kyrina was right, I needed to fix these things now, or I would end up with another Irellia on my hands in the future.
"What do you want?"
Her tone was harsh, but she was right to feel this way. She was probably thinking about why Irellia left me and what was keeping her from leaving me as well. I had to fix this now because there was no way I could fight against her, and that's what it would be if she joined the other side.
