4. Jealousy

The first time she came back from one of those strange journeys she always made, she returned full of stories about all the strange things and tribes she'd seen. But there was one subject he grew especially sick of: Bobby Pendragon.

According to Loor, he was a clever tribesman, but no warrior. And as he detected the admiring note in her voice, Bokka comforted himself with the thought that he could best Pendragon in a fight.

His skills helped assuage his wounded ego occasionally. But only occasionally. And eventually he had to admit: He was jealous because he loved her.
