"Y/N, are you alright?" Neteyam says to me as he pushes my back further onto the ilu to prevent me from falling.
"Y-yeah, sorry." I reply, internally reminding myself to focus on what's happening.
Riding an ilu would've been an easy task for me if not for the presence of Vi bugging my mind. I'd like to talk to her but too bad, I'm not given the chance to. I can't just drag her somewhere. The others would find it suspicious if I do. So, what Vi and I gotta do is act as if we just met. And, what I gotta do is to act as if I'm still on their side.
"Alright, that's it. Now you need to dive in while keeping that form." Neteyam utters, leaving me and the ilu alone so that I can ride and domesticate the creature.
It took a few tries but I managed to ride the ilu skillfully after some time.
Lo'ak and the others went farther into the ocean on their own ilu's while Neteyam stayed behind to teach me. It made me feel a little guilty that I was the reason he couldn't spend more time with the others and swim through the reefs so I told him that he could leave me alone, though, he still insisted on staying.
I go down the ilu, tired from taming it and swimming.
"Done already?" Neteyam asks as he moves closer to me.
I hum in agreement before talking. "How about we rest first?"
"Alright," He responds, sweetly smiling and intertwining my hand with his to bring me back into our marui pod.

"They're all busy, aren't they?" I say, closing my eyes and stretching my body as we entered the pod.
"They are," Neteyam answers.
I open my eyes and look at him, wondering what he's doing, and it turns out he was just sitting on his mat and staring at me.
"What?" I laugh at the awkward tension.
"Sit," Neteyam says as he pats his lap, gesturing for me to sit on it.
"I can't do that. Anyone could enter anytime." I nervously replied, looking back in forth between him and the doorway.
"Huh. I didn't take you to be the coward type." He replies, really trying to push my buttons.
I immediately glared at him for it. "I'm simply going to imagine that you didn't just say that."
"What? That you're a coward?" He utters, a smug smile on his lips.
He knows what he's doing.
"I swear if you- Hey!" I reply about to complain again, but Neteyam grabs my arm and pulls me toward him, making me sit on his lap.
