Perhaps a good slap on the face is what is needed to bring my friends back to their senses. After all, it did seem to bring Ivan back to his. Tag'arkh and I spent an hour trying to explain to Ivan what had happened while he was under Raye's spell. When he got to know about her plans for Kiran, he almost went after her himself, if Tag'arkh hadn't held him back.
"Let go of me Tag'arkh!" Ivan hissed out.
Tag'arkh still didn't. "What do you intend to do? March over there and fight with her? In case you missed everything we've been saying to you for an hour, let me refresh your mind you simpleton_"
"Simpleton?" Ivan asked staring at her in disbelief before he turned to look at me, "Did she just call me a simpleton?" He asked me but I just looked at him helplessly.
