Kyuna started her morning as normal, waiting for jake to wake up. Today she was growing more and more impatient by the minute. Soon she started throwing things from the branch to his head. After thirty minutes and a pile of twigs in his hammock, jake was awake.
"sorry princess" he said climbing out of his hammock and up onto the branch, the girl didnt really acknowledge him, she just got up walked. Jake followed her, they made their way to the hunting equipment.
He couldnt help but notice her avoiding everyone in the clan. It was definitely not like her usual self.
The pair gathered their bows and arrows before walking out into their forest.
"hey-wait up" jake shouted walking behind the girl, noticing she hadnt turned around he pulled on her arm, "come on whats wrong with you?"
She turned to look at him, her head tilting to look at him.
"its my family" she huffed
"what about them?" jake questions, noticing her avoidance of eye contact, "come on you can tell me anything kyuna" he held both her forearms in order to comfort her.
"its about you" kyuna spoke looking in his eyes
"okay so? tell me"
"they think im too trusting of you, that im doing more than what they've instructed me to do"
A wave of guilt rushed over jake. Shit . What if mo'at could sense he was betraying grace and norm? Maybe he didnt hide the fact he wasn't actually there to learn very well. Was he really that easy to read?
"maybe you are." jake said, his grasp slowly losening on kyunas forearms.
"w-what?"
"i dont know you accepted me pretty fast, im not even one of you" jake spoke, now fully letting go of her.
"oh im so sorry should i have mocked you like everyone else?" she spat back looking jake up and down.
"look thats not what im saying but-"
"but what? actually but what jake?" kyuna took a step back.
"but i just think you shouldnt let people in so quick" jake raised his hands to his head out of frustration
"right fine, ill put up a barrier" the girl said putting an end to their conversation, she rolled her eyes before leading off again so the two could practice shooting.
After about two hours jake finally hit the perfect shot.
He quickly turned to kyuna in excitement, however she wasnt as excited. She simply nodded and told him "again."
Clearly jakes comment had gotten to her, not just that but the argument with her family had probably hurt her too. He wishes she could understand the fact he was doing this to protect her, to protect her family and to protect her people. As much as it kiled jake, the fact he had been told about a "tree of souls" from some other navi in the village was just what he needed. He had leverage and a way to get them to move from home tree without getting everyone killed. Jake had already told quaritch.
The time was ticking and sooner or later kyuna would find out what jake had done, and sooner or later her heart would be broken.
