But What If || Neteyam x reader

Arriving In Va'ru

    "Hey leave it." Mrs. Sully had her bow in hand before putting it back on her Ikran. "On me." Mr. Sully was now directing his attention quickly to his kids and yourself. You quickly followed after behind Neteyam and beside Kiri. Mrs. Sully called Tuk over as she seemed to be bewildered by her new environment. "Be nice." Mr. Sully spoke softly as he cautiously walked forward into the beach. Mrs. Sully repeated the statement as people were flooding onto the beach to see what was happening. More gathered as you came face to face with them. They quickly started to surround you as you all made your way further onto the beach. When you stopped you were in between Kiri and Lo'ak behind Mrs. Sully. Kiri was clearly uncomfortable with all of the stares from the people. You tried reaching your hand out to her but she was too focused on keeping her shawl close to her body. She gave a nod to let you know she was okay before your attention was brought forward.

Two boys made their way through the crowd, the first one was watching the two Sully boys intensely as they silently greeted him. You did the same as well, you were glad asking Kiri and Neteyam about their culture came in handy. "Easy just be cool." Mr. Sully spoke up again to try and calm his children's nerves but you didn't think it helped all too much. "Look, what is that?" You had your gaze set on the two boys from earlier as they circled around. "Is that supposed to be a tail?" They were pointing at Neteyam's tail and mocking him, doing nothing about it you just had to watch. They kept mocking Neteyam and his tail, you were doing your best to do nothing but you could feel your jaw clenching harder as they snickered. "It's too small, how are they supposed to swim?" A girl came into your view as she swiped his hand away from pointing. "Do not. Rotxo. Ao'nung." The boys quickly looked agitated and stopped talking. The girl gave a sigh before looking at the boys. "Hey." Your face turned to lo'ak giving him a judgemental look,'hey' really? That was all he could bring himself to say?

Your attention was quickly pulled away however due to some sort of flying fish above you. You brought your body slightly down to avoid it but it was nowhere near you. When it landed you saw the Na'vi on it, you could infer he was the Olo'eyktan as he had on an extravagant shoulder piece of clothing. He made his way to the shore with his spear in hand. When he was close enough Mr. Sully dipped his head and greeted him. "I see you." They gave each other a quick smile before the rest of the Sullys followed by giving the same greeting. You did so as well bringing your two fingers up to your forehead and down. The Olo'eyktan then greeted Mrs. Sully before the people behind him parted. Mr. Sully's shoulders tensed for a second when she appeared. When you first saw her you thought she was beautiful. "I see you Ronal, tsahìk of the Metkayina." Mr. Sully greeted her first with Mrs. Sully and the rest of you following suit. "I see you Ronal." They left the greeting waft in the air for a second before asking you why you were there. "Why do you come to us, Jake Sully?" Mr. Sully looked back at his family before speaking. "We seek Uturu."

"Uturu?!" Ronal didn't look too happy to hear what Mr. Sully was asking as she looked at her mate. "Yeah, sanctuary for my family." She still didn't look pleased as she stepped forward. "We are reef people. You are forest people. Your skills will mean nothing here." Even as the Olo'eyktan spoke your gaze still stayed on Ronal as she seemed to examine the Sullys. "We will learn your ways. Right?" Ronal stepped in between the two lines you had formed. "Yes." She grabbed Mrs. Sully's tail and seeing her right in front of you made you step back a step. "Their arms are thin." She had made her way over to Tuk's she held her arms up, this caused Tuk to retreat to her parents a bit more by holding her mother's hand tighter. "Their tails." She was to Kiri now. "Ow." Kiri turned to her grabbing her tail from Ronal's grasp. "Are weak. You'll be slow in the water." She then took Kiri's hands, she took the first one lightly but firmly grabbed the second one. "These children, are not even true Na'vi." She held Kiri's hands up for her people to see. Kiri looked at her father as she murmured to him. He just looked down at the sand, you put your hand on Kiri's back partially to try and hide your own but to also showed you stood with her. "Yes, we are." Kiri tried pleading her case as Ronal made her way past her to you, she grabbed your hand holding it high in the air. She then took Lo'ak's hand and held it up just as high. "They have demon blood!" This made the people upset as she held both your hands up still. You wriggled in her grasp slightly. "Look, Look!" Mr. Sully held his hand up in front of Ronal showing her his four fingers. "Look I was born of the sky people and now I am Na'vi aright, you can adapt." She had let go of yours and Lo'ak's hand fiercely as she left and made her way to her mate again. "We will adapt, okay?" You nodded, to who you didn't know.
