My morning was a cloud 9 because I had very long sleep after I didn't get enough the other night taking care of Jake Sully's son. He was also in my bed, may I add. And knowing that I'm one step closer in solving my mystery, I was at bliss.
I cooked some foods for myself from the fruits I picked yesterday. From a small door made just for George in the lab, he entered wagging its tail happily. It's a good thing that George is a picky eater. It's like he's really made to be a house pet, he doesn't eat anything in the wild that I didn't serve for him. Therefore, I don't have to worry that he might eat anything poisonous along his way.
I served his food on the bowl I made just for him and made him eat it as I eat my own. After our breakfast, I took some papers and pen to list down all the things in the forest that could possibly be a cure or part of the cure. It took me a whole page to finish it. I've got no much time. I need to find a temporary cure as soon as possible.
I wore my jacket on me then my mask that I just refilled with oxygen. I, then, opened my door together with George to feel the fresh wind.
"Let's go George." I joyfully announced then we walked away.
"Good morning, sunshine." my body froze and George growled hearing that voice coming from the roof of my small lab. I shut my eyes tightly then slowly turned around, hoping this is all a nightmare and I'm just sleeping on the wrong side of my bed.
"What are you doing here?" I asked the Na'vi sitting at my roof as if it's some branch of a tree, eating some fruit in his hand. A smile was playing on his lips as if we were some friends of sort.
"Come on now..." Neteyam threw the fruit as he finished then jumped landing right in front of me. "...it's not like I didn't tell you last time that I've decided to help, right?"
"And it's not like I permitted you to do so." I argued back.
He tilted his head as he looked down at me as his height literally towered over me. "Don't be rude. It's so early in the morning. How about you just lay back to your soft bed, tell me what to do, and I'll do all the job for you--"
"Aren't your parents looking for you?" I asked seriously trying to intimidate him.
"Maybe..." He looked around then back at me. "...but I can handle a whole day scolding just to help this forest."
I stared at him a bit more, realizing that unlike his father, he's got no eyebrows nor fifth finger. I think he got it with his mom.
I rolled my eyes trying not to ruin my day. I didn't say any word as I started walking away to god-knows-where. And I think Neteyam took it as a sign that I approved of his presence because he was gracefully following, like a kid jumping most of the times.
"So, what's your name?" he asked, smiling, his fangs showing. He was bending his neck to see me and it kind of annoyed me.
Without any notice, I changed path. I saw the tree I need to get the first element on my list.
"Hey." Neteyam called but he easily caught up to me. Now, we both stood in front of a tall tree. "I was asking you a question."
"And why would I say my name to you?" I answered just for the sake of talking while checking on the leaves that sit at the very top of the tree. I can't use dry leaves, I need fresh one, unfortunately there's none reachable for me.
"Because you need to get used to me. I'll be tailing you around."
I sighed. "Enid." I simply answered then went around the tree to try my luck and find an accessible fresh leaves in which he followed me, clueless.
