You remember the day fondly, Neteyam stood at the stone arch, watching and cheering as you tried your best to tame a Tsurak, you clearly remember the difficulty of it all, how beads of sweat would drip down your chin as you scrunched your eyebrows in concentration.Throughout the whole event Neteyam constantly cheered for you,"Come on Y/n! You can do this!" And when you had finally tamed the beast Neteyam screamed,"That's my girl!".

Now it was time for Neteyam to tame his own Tsurak, you're both nervous and excited for Neteyam, there is no doubt in your mind that he will successfully tame the beast.

Neteyam slowly stirred away, as he peeled his eyes open he first noticed the blinding light, groaning he shoved his head back into your back."Morning Yawne"(beloved) you greet him sweetly,"Tiyawn, Too early"(Love) he mumbled out.He did eventually raise awake and sat up fully, still snuggling into side.

He asks you to which you nod at him,"No doubt in my mind"You say placing a small kiss to his temple.
