The five boys were sitting down together, being restricted to be in the celebration. They watched the people, seeing as they were having fun.

Neteyam looked over at Alo'an, seeing him repeatedly rub his lips. He noticed that Alo'an had moved on to wiping his mouth with his arm since his hand was already full of blood. Alo'an looked and Neteyam and immediately looked down.

"We got you some medical things, hopefully, it's enough." a girl sighed, sitting next to him. "It should be okay." Neteyam sighed.

Alo'an looked as the three girls actively helped Neteyam. He was now spitting in the sand, the blood still rushing out of his lip.

"Sorry I took so long." Ne'at groaned, coming towards him. "Uh-huh." Alo'an replied.

The girl sat in front of him, putting her bowl of material to the side.

"God, it looks like you killed someone." she whispered.

Neteyam watched as the girl got close to Alo'an's face, cleaning his lips. He watched her hold his hand as she wiped the blood, and Alo'an only stared at her.

He was mad. He was mad that this had happened because of that girl, mad because she was so close to him.

"Okay, all done." Irina hummed.

Neteyam looked at his bruises, seeing as all of the big ones were patched up.

"Thanks." he muttered. "No problem. We have to go put this back before we get in trouble." the girl smiled.

Neteyam watched her walk away and in the corner of his eye, saw E'ilo looking frustrated. He ignored it and turned his focus back to Alo'an.

"I won't be able to do too much, but just keep your mouth closed." Ne'at instructed.

She discreetly peeked at Neteyam, seeing how hard he was staring at the two of them. She quickly looked back at Alo'an, seeing how annoyed the boy looked.

"Okay...this should be good." she whispered. "Thanks." Alo'an smiled. "Yeah, if you ever need anything I can help..." she mumbled, standing up.

She took another glance at Neteyam, who was watching her stand. She turned around and quickly walked away with her bowl.

"Who's that?" Neteyam asked.

Before Alo'an could respond the boys' parents were standing in from of them.

"Come." Tonowari frowned.

The kids listened. They walked between the people, getting stares. Neteyam saw Lo'ak, who was visibly making fun of him. He couldn't believe he was the one in trouble.

The people walked into a hut, all of them sitting down once they got in.

"What the hell were you all thinking?" Tonowari asked. "Alo'an threw the punch first." E'ilo pointed. "Shut up, you were talking shit first." Alo'an replied. "Enough." Aniri groaned. "Even if he started it, it gives you no right to hurt him physically. Words do not equal actions."

Alo'an nodded looking down. Jake looked at his son, looking confused.

"Neteyam, what about you?" he asked. "I don't know. I tried to stop it but these three trampled over us." Neteyam replied with a shrug.

Jake and Neytiri looked at each other, letting out a sigh of relief.

"And you three knuckleheads, what did you do to cause this?" Leita asked.

Leita was E'ilo's mom, and she did not look like she was against Alo'an and Neteyam. If anything, she was taking their side.

"Well, we didn't really do anything." E'ilo shrugged.

Leita looked at Alo'an and Neteyam, knowing that her son was lying.

"What'd they do?" she asked.

Alo'an looked at his dad who seemed like he wanted to hear this.

"First they started saying things about a girl, making her uncomfortable. I tried to defend her but then they started with me, and I'm not going to let some random people talk about me as if they knew me." he explained. "So what exactly did they say?" Leita asked. "They said they'd probably mate with her faster than me, which, by the way, I didn't even know her before maybe an hour before that. And then they were saying that they could use me too. So I punched the bitch." he replied. "Watch your mouth." Aniri groaned.

Leita looked at her son and his friends looking disappointed.

"You guys are so hard to deal with. I didn't raise you to talk to people like this, E'ilo." she mumbled.

The three boys looked at Alo'an obviously mad.

"You're going to apologize to these boys and then you're going to find that girl and apologize to her as well. Keiti, Milo, your parents will know about this as soon as we get back to the village." she mumbled. "Now, apologize."

The three bots hesitated, but apologized to the boys, Jake and Neytiri let their son out, agreeing that he should still be let out to celebrate since he only fought to defend himself. Alo'an stayed in the hut, still being scolded by his father.

Neteyam stayed started at the place, waiting to see Alo'an walk out. Once he did, Ne'at quickly approached him. Neteyam was mad, again.
