Chapter 7: The dreamwalker warrior

Hi! Here is the continuation with the first big change, compared to the movie with the arrival of the first OC. Hoping that you like it. Don't hesitate to vote (if you liked it) or to comment. The dialog in italic is  expressed in French.

Neytiri's point of view

While exploring the forest with my bow and arrow, I was surprised to notice a strange dream walker.

Like Grace, he was dressed in a beige outfit but this one seemed to be closed, in a rather strict order. His hair, strangely curly, seemed to be in a mess, but not messy. His eyes, similar to Grace's, gave off a glow that contradicted his surprisingly young physique. He was looking around with a keen eye, holding some kind of metal weapon.

Was he a sky warrior? I was really curious to know more.

So I discreetly followed him with my eyes, while he sat down and sighed. Out of the corner of his eye, he was watching something. As I followed his gaze, I noticed other dream walkers, seemingly studying something. One caught my eye, not looking unfamiliar.

Grace: How long do you plan to stay like this, soldier?

I looked up in surprise, recognizing my friend's voice.

Warrior: My role is to protect you, madam. Don't worry, I'm not trigger-happy. I'm not here to be a cowboy and kill everything that moves. I'm just here to do my part.

Grace: Let's hope you keep your word.

He rolled his eyes and muttered something in a language I didn't understand.

Warrior: Bonjour la confiance

These were unfamiliar words, to my ears. And no amount of Grace classes would allow me to translate this strange language. The dream walker sat there, his weapon lowered, seemingly waiting. However, I could tell by the movement of his ears and eyes that he was alert. Seeing a dream walker for the first time, I couldn't help but want to know more about him. Afterwards, he began to relax, while keeping a certain vigilance; judging by his ears.

Prolemuris going from tree to tree, attracting his eyes. But it lasted a few moments, before resuming his concentration. He remained like that, motionless, pensive, seeming to look at the floating hills. Then he smiled, asking me what he was thinking. Not being able to hold on any longer, I landed discreetly behind him and approached him. Suddenly, he reacted quickly and turned around, hand on his weapon. I could see by his concentrated look that he was ready to act. Nevertheless, he relaxed at the sight of me and seemed to observe me with curiosity and...admiration?

At first glance, he seemed to be my age. However, by the look in his eyes, I felt strangely young compared to him. I was completely fascinated by his eyes, which seemed to have seen a lot in such a young body. He pulled himself together and greeted me with the Na'vi greeting, with great respect. I smiled and hastened to do the same.

Warrior: I didn't expect to meet a na'vie, in my first days.

Me: And me, another dream walker other than Grace

Warrior: My name is Ben Thalyen. And you?

Me; Neytiri te tskaha, daughter of Mo'at. Are you a warrior?

Ben with a smile: You could say that, yes.

Me: This is the first time I've seen a dream walking warrior.

Ben: And me, a beautiful Na'life.

I couldn't help but have an amused smile at his awkward attempt and I thought his blush, amusing and...cute.
