"Ka'nu wait," Aonung huffs as he caught up to me.

Turning around roughly I raise my eyebrows, waiting for him to tell me what I so desperately needed to wait for.

"Do you have anywhere to sleep?" He asks, stepping closer to me.

"Um, I don't know," I sigh "I don't wanna go back home but I can't sleep in the forest so I guess not."

"Come stay at mine, Tsireya will love to see you," he smiles, grabbing my wrist and pulling me in the direction of his Mauri. "Why didn't you just come to my Mauri in the first place?"

"I didn't want to see you," I reply shrugging as I slowly took my hand away from his.

"What why not?" Aonung asks quickly.

"Because I just found out I'm suppose to be your future Tsahik, I thought if I avoided you it wouldn't be real," I answer as we keep walking in silence.

It wasn't an awkward silence, at least I don't think so. As we were walking I looked around at the forest, capturing its beauty. The sea is astounding but I always found the forest comforting and it felt like home in a way.

"Here we are," Aonung smiles as we walk in to his family's Mauri.

"Ka'nu," Tsireya lightens when she sees me, standing up to hug me.

"Hey Tsireya," I smile, hugging her back. "Hi Tonowari, hi Ronal."

"Hello dear," Ronal smiles, going back to mixing what looks like medicine.

Tonowari nods at me whilst smiling and Tsireya grabs my wrist, immediately pulling me to her room.

Tsireyas Mauri was huge as her family were the Oley'ktan and Tshaik. She had an actual room, not just a corner with leaves for privacy.

"Are you staying here tonight?" Tsireya asks, plopping down on her rug.

"Yes," I smile. sitting with her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning I woke up with Tsireya laying on top of me, peacefully sleeping. Every time I've stayed at hers I've woken up with some part of her body on mine. Every time.

She looks so cute when she sleeps.

I didn't want to wake her so I just stayed lying on my stomach as I picked at the rugs corner.

"Tsireya, Ka'nu?" I hear Ronal yell and Tsireya immediately stands up.

"Coming!" Tsireya yells politely.

She grabs my wrist, picking me up as I follow her to Ronal.

"You are helping the Sullys today?" She asks us, picking at a leaf.

"Yes," Tsireya smiles.

"Can I go home first? I need to change," I speak up.

"Yes of course dear," Ronal smiles at me and Tsireya waves good bye.

I silently begged to Eywa that my Nan wasn't there. I just want to get in and get out. Dealing with her is unthinkable right now.

If she's there what do I do?

I'll probably just end up ignoring her and walking to my room.

What should I wear?

I was currently wearing my spear holder top and a blue loincloth. My yellow petaled top is very cute and matches well with my brown loincloth. It makes me look like a sunflower but I think it looks good. I hope it looks good.
