Neteyam was sitting in his hut, furious about what had just happened. He slammed his hand on the floor in anger, waking Lo'ak up. "Ugh, what the hell man" Lo'ak groaned. "Shit sorry, Lo'ak". You should probably be up already, anyway. I'll wake up the girls", Neteyam said, sort of laughing at his younger brother's reactions. "Oh yeah, our training starts today," Lo'ak said as he was walking out of the hut.

Neteyam woke up his sisters and told them they had to get ready and start training with Tiersya. Putting on a smiling face when, deep down, embarrassed, he was still super pissed and mainly embarrassed that he had let his guard down and shown weakness. "You girls go. I'll be down in a few minutes" "OK bye, Temya!!" Tuk said excitedly. Kiri and Tuk walked down to the beach to see Lo'ak, Tiersay, Roxto, and Aonung. Tiersay waved them over and introduced herself. Kiri and Tuk both then introduced themselves as well.

"Where's Neteyam?" Lo'ak said. So that's his name, Aonung thought to himself. "Oh, he said he would be down in a few. He was being weird though..." Kiri said. "What a shxange. How dare he be late," Aonung said, getting a very well-deserved hit in the back of the head from Tiersya.

"There he is. Neteyam, over here!" Kiri said, waving him over. Neteyam looked pleased to see his siblings excited to start training, then his face turned, and saw Aonung immediately dropping any kind of expression he had before. "Jeez, what's up with him?" Roxto said. I don't know he was in a shitty mood when I woke up?" Lo'ak said, sounding a bit confused.

Neteyam came over and sat down in the circle as far away as he could get from Aonung. "OK, let's begin training! How about we go for a swim to get started," Tiersaya said. They all jumped in. As Aonung, Tiersya, and Roxoto were swimming, they turned around to see Tuk and Lo'ak on the surface struggling to hold their breath and keep up with the rest. Aonung signed, "this idiot can't even swim properly. How are they meant to be like us?" "Shut up", Tiersaya signed and hit Aonung over the head. They swam up to the top to see the rest of the siblings on the surface."You guys are too fast" Slow down, we can't swim like you can,", Tuk said, sounding upset. "Yeah, we also don't know this finger talk you guys keep doing," Neteyam said, annoyed. Earning an eye roll from Aonung. "OK, let's go back in and we will start by teaching you how to breathe properly and allow you to swim faster," Tiersaya said, beginning to swim back in.

Once they got back in, all of them went and sat on a rock in a circle. Neteyam and Aonung tried to avoid each other as much as possible but still managed to end up sitting next to each other. "You guys have to breathe through your stomach, not through your chest. Like this," Tiersaya said while demonstrating how to do it. "Now you try" Lo'ak closed his eyes and attempted to breathe like Tiersaya did, failing miserably. "Here Lo'ak, let me help you," Tiersaya said, putting one hand on Lo'ak's stomach and the other on his heart. "You have to slow your heartbeat and breathe through here" Lo'ak looked very flustered at the hand placement of Tiersaya and started to turn red. "Lo'ak, your heart is beating very fast. You have to try to slow it down" Neteyam gave Kiri and Roxoto a look, gesturing to Lo'ak. They both looked over and laughed a little bit. Tuk being too young to understand.

"OK now you give it a try guys," Tiersaya said, looking at everyone else. Neteyam closed his eyes trying to breathe through his stomach and not through his chest, which to him sounded super confusing, because how are you meant to breathe through your stomach when your lungs are in your chest? Neteyam heard a little chuckle next to him. He opened one eye to see Aonung laughing at him. " What is wrong," Neteyam said, sounding pissed. "Man, your doing is all wrong. You are such an idiot" Aonung said while smirking at him. Tiersaya heard what Aonung had said and said "Aonung, if he is doing so badly, then help him!!" "Fine fine, I was about to anyway", Aonung said, pissed.

"No, I don't want your help. I can do it myself. "No, sush you suck so bad at it, you need help," Aonung said to Neteyam. He did the same action Tiersaya did, putting one hand on Neteyams stomach and the other on his chest. Neteyam flinched a little, causing Aonung to laugh. "Chill man, I'm just helping," Aonung said, sounding very much like he didn't want to be there. "Look, you have to breathe through here," Aonung said while patting Neteyams stomach. "Yeah like that, but slow your heartbeat down Neteyam" "Shut up you, shxange" Neteyam said, super flustered. Aonung took his hand off Neteyam as soon as he saw everyone staring at them. Neteyam opened his eyes to see everyone staring at them as well. Feeling very embarrassed he got up and walked away
