Ione embraced him in a great big hug and sent a hot rush of blood to his face after a moist kiss on his red cheek.
I fould this line to be a tad confusing, too many pronouns maybe.
"Ione embraced him in a great big hug and sent a hot rush of blood to Jerik's face after a moist kiss on his red cheek"
This would read better, IMO. I'm loving how the memory of Saybon is slipping away, and all the things related to him. You're doing it well, mate.
I also think you should put some kind of breaker before you just jump to five days later, something more than just a new line.
My last nit-pick is only grammer related, and being as it's not your strong point, i wont waste any more time than I need, so i wont....this time!!
