With you and Neteyam:

Neteyam - Come on my love, hold on. You are strong.

You arrived. Neteyam is carrying you inside your hut.

Neteyam - MOM! DAD!

They went to him and saw you unconscious in his arms.

Neytiri - What happened?!

Neteyam - (he had a few tears in his eyes) I- I don't- I don't know- she- (he couldn't form a full sentence)

Jake - Son, calm down. We'll help you.

Jake is checking your pulse.

Jake - (to Neytiri) Her pulse is weak.

Neytiri - (to Jake) And she's barely breathing.

Neteyam - I-Is she going to be ok?

Jake - (to Neteyam) Lie her down. I'll go get Ronal.

Neteyam lied you down and sat next to you. He holds your hand and kisses it. Neytiri kneeled next to him and put her hand on his shoulder.

Neytiri - She'll be fine. She's strong.

He didn't say anything but kissed your hand again. Just then the other kids came in. Cairo immediately sat next to you (on your other side). Tuk sat down next to Neteyam. The others are standing around you.

Cairo - (strokes your hair) Sis, please, wake up.

Kiri puts her hand on his shoulder.
Ronal and Jake came in.

Ronal - I need space and silence.

Neytiri - Everyone, out!

C and N - I'll stay with her!

Ronal - No! Only parents.

Jake and Neytiri looked at each other.

Jake - But we aren't her-

Ronal - I know. But you are the closest thing she has to parents.

Everyone left except Jake, Neytiri and Ronal. Kiri and Tsireya took Tuk to bed at Cairo's hut, because it's late. Ao'nung and Rotxo dragged Cairo to the beach to distract him. Neteyam stayed out of the hut, waiting for answers.
Inside Ronal is trying to help and wake you. 20 minutes later:

Ronal - She'll be fine, but she's not aware yet.

As Neteyam heard that he immediately went inside.

Neteyam - Do you know when is she going to wake up?

Ronal - I'm sorry, boy, but no. I don't know.

Jake - Ok. Thank you, Ronal.

He sat down next to you and took your hand.

Jake - (to Neytiri) I'll go check on Tuk. Please, check on him. (Points at Neteyam)

Neytiri - Ok.

Jake kissed Neytiri on the cheek and left. Before Neytiri could go to Neteyam, Ronal took her hand.

Ronal - Can I talk to you outside?

Neytiri - Ok. But quickly. (She looked at Neteyam)

Ronal looked at him too and nodded. They left. Neteyam heard Ronal's voice and knew something was wrong. He got closer so he can hear their conversation, but they don't see him.

Ronal - Since when have Neteyam and Ingo been together?

Neytiri - (a little bit confused) Um, about 2 months. Why?
