[for the next few weeks Ao'nung and Lo'ak had started to hangout even more to the point that even their families noticed.]

"Ao'nung." Ronal called out to her son who seemed in a hurry to leave their family marui "yes mother?" Ao'nung replied back, stopping in his own tracks as he turned to face his mother " are you off to see that Sully boy again?" Ronal questioned her son, his expression changed from a happy to slightly annoyed " Lo'ak mother , his name is Lo'ak.. and yes I am." Ronal eyed her son before giving him a slight nod "go then." With that Ao'nung sprinted out the marui without a second thought, eager to see his 'Friend'.

"LO'AK!" Ao'nung called out as Lo'aks ears perked up at the sound of Ao'nungs voice " NUNG , HIIII!" Lo'ak screamed out excitedly, running towards Ao'nung and basically flying into Ao'nungs arms. Rotxo and Neteyam who had been standing next to Lo'ak just stared at the two boys who happily hugged each other as if they hadn't spent all of the day before together. "What are we doing today?" Ao'nung asked as him and Lo'ak walked closer to Teyam and Rotxo "nothing we were thinking of riding our ilu's today." Rotxo explained , Ao'nung gave a nod as they all call for their Ilu's.

Lo'ak and Rotxo were now hiding behind some underwater rocks , the group had decided to play hide and go seek. "Rotxo, shhhh." Lo'ak whispered , Rotxo covered his mouth to stop himself from giggling.
Ao'nung was the Seeker and he had been trying to find them, and Neteyam.
Suddenly Lo'ak felt a pair of hands on his waist as he was pulled backwards , he screamed out as Rotxo panicked . Lo'ak , who's eyes were still glued shut, slowly opened his eyes to see Rotxo smiling and turned around to see Ao'nung laughing "Fuck you two." Lo'ak signed since they were still underwater "let's go up, I already found Neteyam." Ao'nung signed as the 3 of us swam up to the surface.
We made our way to the rocks Neteyam was sitting "finally , took you long enough." Neteyam complained , rolling his eyes and he moved over to make space for the rest of the group " yeah, yeah." Ao'nung replied with annoyance in his voice. "TEYAM!" tuk screamed out from behind the group , everyone turned to see tuk running towards them with kiri and tsireya following behind her carrying baskets full of stuff. "Hey guys, do you want some treats." Tsireya offered as she put the basket down , strands of her hair falling in her face. " don't mind if I do!~" Rotxo chimed in as he grabbed a treat and immediately eating it, Ao'nung and Lo'ak doing the same thing. " Hello tuk." Neteyam smiled at his younger sister as she excitedly hugged him. Lo'ak smiled seeing his siblings in such a wholesome moment, he felt a sudden hand on top of his own and as he turned to see who the hand belonged to it was Ao'nung. Ao'nung was smiling whole talking to his sister , he was avoiding eye contact with Lo'ak but still made sure to have some sort of physical touch with Lo'ak.
Lo'aks tail starting slowly wagging from the happiness he felt. He had Ao'nung by his side and his siblings and friends around him, all cheerful and happy. He couldn't ask for anything better.
