teaching

today was the day i wanted to regret most. i hated teaching. but since i was the "chiefs daughter" i had too. i had to set a "good example." instead of eating i went to the shoreside, again. i did my usual, i went to the deeper part and just sat there.  but i wanted to do something different so i swam through coral, and played with the fish.

i got to collect sea shells, i made a necklace with it in my free time, so i wore it when we started learning.

"okay!!" tsireya said amused "first we will work on swimming."

i dived in first then both tsireya and aonung followed. then the outcasts, the boys went in and then the girls.

they were looking at us swim and they were following but for some reason they are going up very often.

"come swim with us" tsireya signed
that made the boys confused, the girls went off somewhere else i didn't care. we went up to the surface because tsireya wanted to ask if they were okay.

"we don't understand your finger talk" neteyam said

"it's not finger talk. it's something we use to communicate under water." i said upset at the fact he called it finger talking

his younger brother looked at him with a smirk, i hate that look. i rolled my eyes and dove back into the water. i sat next to some coral and i was looking at all its details. i let my sister and aonung to control it, i wasn't in the mood to do this. so i just relaxed at the bottom of the ocean.

obviously tsireya told me to come up and show them breathing. i said fine but she owes me. so i climbed into the rock we were showing them breathing on, but my necklace broke. i needed some sap to put it back together, i really liked that necklace. but i tied it together instead.

while tsireya was explaining the breathing i was drawing the shapes and patterns along the rocks. i ended up zoning out and turns out tsireya was touching the younger boy. she knew what she was doing, but i ignored it, i'm not no snitch.
tsireya said that i should do what she did to neteyam, also i found out the younger boys name, it is loak.

but now it was time to ride the ilus

i made multiple clicking sounds to call my ilu yakliu, i love my ilu she was my ride or die, literally. neteyam had no ilu so i offered him to borrow mine. he got onto yakliu and bonded with her and i got behind him but i didn't dare to touch him i told him to go forward and he did and he started off bumpy but got the hang of it, once we got done i gave him permission to feed yakliu. i also let him pet her in the process. for some reason yakliu thinks he's nice.

"he seems like a nice boy!" yakliu said to me

i started signing to her because i didn't want neteyam hear what i had to say about him

"no, well i don't know, he's an outcast i can't fall in love with an outcast." i signed to her

neteyam was looking at us like we were crazy.
i petted yakliu and told her she could go now.

"what was that about?" neteyam asked me

"oh nothing, that's how we talk to each other." i said "she's like my best friend."
