It had been a few days since the incident with Lo'ak and Ao'nung had completely stop taunting the sully children. He had also ordered his friends to leave Kiri alone as they kept teasing her and thankfully, they listened.
Neteyam had also noticed how much nicer Ao'nung had become, especially with Lo'ak and brought it up to Kiri's attention.
"What's up with him? He went from bullying us for a week to being so helpful.." Neteyam looked at Kiri, who had an equally confused face as Neteyam "yeah now that you mentioned it he offered to help me look for some fish mama had asked me to catch when you and Lo'ak were to busy helping papa.." kiri sighed as Neteyam groaned in annoyance, They were currently sitting on some rocks on the beach , Kiri facing the maruis and Neteyam facing the water.
Kiri's eyes wondered , suddenly her eyes widen as she pointed behind Neteyam. Neteyam turned around to spot Ao'nung and Lo'ak standing together, Ao'nungs tail swinging from side to side in happiness and Lo'ak grinning from ear to ear. Neteyam turned back to his younger sister as she looked back at him with the same question in mind.
What was happening between those two?

Lo'aks POV a few hours before:
"Lo'ak Come help me make this necklace for mama!" Tuk exclaimed happily as she shoved some seashells into my hands , tsireya giggled as she kept making her own seashell necklace for Kiri as they had become basically best friends since arriving here. " like this.." tuk showed lo'ak how to neatly put the seashells into the necklace ( Lo'ak already knew how to but still let tuk teach him.) "here tuk , you can add this as the main decoration for your necklace." Tsireya handed over a pretty seashell to tuk , her eyes lighting up in excitement. I smiled at the sight of my little sister being so happy.
"Tsireya?" Ao'nung called out as he emerged from the water with his ilu. He unleashed the Tsaheylu as he made his way towards us while glancing between me and tsireya. " Ao'nung!" Tuk yelled out as she rushed to hug him " oh hello Tuk, did you finish your doll?" "Yes I did!" Tuk gave him a big smile as she rushed over to where a wooden toy was placed and showed Ao'nung " I added the cloth like you told me to!" Tuk handed over the wooden doll to Ao'nung as he gave her a small smile " you did a good job tuk ." He praised as he examined the doll, tuk had a grin that reached from ear to ear as she squeaked excitedly.
"You helped Tuk make a toy?" Ao'nungs attention turned to me as his face turned a slightly darker blue as he avoided eye contact "y-yeah I did." Ao'nung stuttered out which caused a smile to appear on Lo'aks face " Yeah he also made this for me!" Tuk pointed at some beads she had around her loincloth " oh that's so pretty tuk!" Tsireya chimed in , Ao'nung was now very interested in his hands has he avoided eye contact from Lo'ak as his ears and cheeks got darker and darker.
