The sun began to set, the water was glistening with green and orange color right in front of their pod. It was awfully beautiful if Rasmei opened her heart and tried to take in everything inside of her. She busied around the pod just to put things into its own places. Lo'ak and Neteyem went around the place trying to ask for anything they could help for their mother while Kiri sat still, her elbow was basically on her knee.

Tuk was sitting on the bouncy floor, doing nothing but playing with her toys that her mother had taken for her. Jake was on himself, fusing around while trying to set up his stuff right by the corner of the pod, hopefully his wife could be a little calmer than the last few hours. She wasn't trying to speak to him at all instead of giving a glance.

He moved over closer to her as she sat in her crouching position, while folding the garments in. ''S'mei.''

Her eyes glanced at him for a second before she dropped them back to what she was doing. Neteyam, Lo'ak shared a look at the same time Kiri looked up to them too. Their parents must have wanted to try to talk one another out after what happened and so as an older brother, Neteyam took the responsibility of carrying Tuk out and shushing both Lo'ak and Kiri to step away for a moment. Jake heard Kiri groan in annoyance before she finally got her feet out from the pod. Looking back at his wife, Rasmei didn't try to look at him at all.

''Honey.'' Jake had his hand to her back and Rasmei slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. He shouldn't be asking if she was okay but he should be the one who comforted her through the hardness moment. ''I know it might be hard-''

''Of course it is.'' She opened her eyes and zipped the bag close before she stood up and walked over to bring the basket of fruits to the table. She walked up to the mattress and delicately took it up with her hand before taking a whiff. Fortunately, this mattress smelt lovely, and Lo'ak sleeping alone was preferable for him rather than having him fighting in his sleep and sprawling all over his brother and Kiri. She brushed them down before setting it beside the other mattress.

Jake pinched the bridge of his nose. ''I'm sorry.''

''You don't say sorry for this.'' She responded back without turning her head to face him. Jake knew exactly that he felt as if he took something dear to her, she wasn't exactly happy to be here but glad that she was having a home for her kids to live in. He walked over to her and brought her to face him but her face still dropped. ''I'm glad that we have a place to live now, Jake. For our kids.''

She still remembered the time when she told Mo'at and Neytiri about leaving everything behind, they were speechless. None of them spoke anything instead of staring at her with their eyes held so many words only not to manage to let it out. Rasmei felt sorry that she couldn't keep the promise to stick together with them long enough, she had tried so much but she couldn't find a way. She took Jake's words in until she realized that what he was saying was right. Quaritch has her kids under his knives, someday he would come back and kill them all along with the people.
