fights

Mindlessly organizing the different herbs in front of you into different baskets, you felt lazy. After your day off with Ao'nung, you had such a nice rest that you couldn't find yourself fully waking up for the day. Your mind dozing off to relive the moments from the day before, you face stuck with a permanent subtle flush.

You were shaken out of your daze by a commotion, lots of loud voices, some even rising to yells as you recognized Tonowari's voice.

"Ao'nung, you are the oldest and you do this? I expected better," you hear him spit out.

With caution you peek out of the marui pod, spotting the two na'vi. Tonowari was pulling at the back of Ao'nung's head, Ao'nung's face bruised and blood slightly seeping from his wounds. With worry, you walk over and next to Tonowari, observing the state that Ao'nung was in.

"What happened?" you ask softly, eyes scanning Ao'nung, seeing him cringe when you speak. His gaze shifts from you to anywhere but you.

"He fought with the Sully kids. Physically fought with the boys," Tonowari says, his eyes drilling holes into his son as he lets go of Ao'nung's head.

The rose coloured lenses that lurked on your eyes suddenly lunged at you, burning red instead of pink.

"You fought with them? I asked you to be nice!" you exclaimed, your forehead creasing with confusion, anger, and betrayal.

"And I said it doesn't mean I would be," Ao'nung whispers, his blue eyes matching with the ocean.

You look at him in disappointment. Maybe you had been blinded by the gentleness he showed you before, but some of the feelings you had drifted away with the breeze. You always knew he was a rowdy person, but he went against something you asked and it hurt something inside you.

"You said he hurt the Sully boys?" you ask Tonowari, worried about the state Neteyam would be in. Tonowari nodded and you sigh.

"I am going to go and patch Neteyam- and Lo'ak up," you decided, Ao'nung's ears perking up at Neteyam's name but relaxing once you say Lo'ak's name. You stare at Ao'nung and after a moment of contemplation, you grab his arm and drag him into the marui pod.

"Sit," he sits down, "I... thought you were better than this," you sigh, grabbing a basket and putting in a container of water from the jungle and some herbal pastes.

Ao'nung stays seated where you told him to be, he didn't say anything back to you. Instead, he watched your every move. Waiting for you to blow up at him, waiting for you to stab his heart with words that made him wish he didn't hate the forest na'vi.

"I expect either your father to tell your mother, or for you to tell your mother what you did. I don't know what she'll say but know I am not impressed right now," you say as you walk past Ao'nung and you hear a deep sigh pass through his lips.
