Hundreds of thoughts exploded in his mind at once as his face turned to cold stone.
"...who is this guy... why is he here..."
"...why is he with Kivara? Is he mocking me by saying... I'm not too bad?... I... is... is he with her... the way he's holding her!!..."
All these thoughts exploded in his head, colliding to make his head swell. Veins appeared on his head, heavily imprinted on his skull, and his eyes flashed with a chilling intent.
Kivara lightly reached the platform and Riven disengaged quickly, a sheepish smile on his face as he felt embarrassment with the way he clung to her. But it was so sudden.
And the way everyone was looking at him as if he'd committed a crime, especially the boys. Riven felt a touch of killing intent in front of him. It was small, a touch, but it was enough to get his head sharply up and jump back, crouching.
