After making it back to the Omaticayan fortress, Jake redirected the kids towards the base camp where Norm and Max were. He needed to be alone for a few minutes so he could compose himself and think about a few things. Norm and Max could supervise the kids while he did so and he wouldn't have to worry.

The way back to the fortress was really sullen for Jake. He had made a few realizations that left him completely disassociated with his surroundings. The kids had been sharing Ikrans on the way back, always checking in on each other; Neteyam and Tuk in one, with Kiri and Lo'ak in another one, while Jake rode alone on his. They made it back, thankfully.

After Jake told the kids to head to the lab and look for Norm, they all looked at their father with suspicion and confusion, but complied nonetheless and made their way over with no complaints or comments. Jake walked back to the family tent, and the moment he step foot inside, he ended up collapsing to his knees.

Jake tangled his hand into his dreads as he ran his fingers through them, sighing and closing his eyes. He dragged his hand down his face and exhaled deeply. There were many things to consider right now that were running through his mind. He had already made a decision, as hard as it was, but how could he bring himself to tell the kids. How could he tell them that he was going to take them away from everything they've ever known? The home they grew up in.

Quaritch walked right into the forest unsuspected, right under Eywa's nose. Jake's home, the kids' home, was under peril right now, and it would worsen with any wrong move. It felt like daggers in his heart knowing that they had no choice but to leave it behind. The fear that he would lose all of his kids to Quaritch today was more than enough to make his fear and terror skyrocket. Even if Jake could fight, his little one's lives were in so much danger here in the forest. The presence of the Sky People was already dangerous enough, but with Quaritch back, Jake just didn't want to take any chances on this.

This was a necessary decision. If Jake didn't do something about this now, his children's lives would be exposed to the dangers of Quaritch like Neytiri and him were years ago when they first met. The Sky People wouldn't rest until they got what they want. It's always been that way and there is no way to avoid it. It pained Jake to leave the people who've opened their home to him and welcomed him as one of their own, despite his mistakes. Jake hoped that Mo'at would understand and that she could see where he was coming from. She saved him in the attack of Hometree, and he wanted her to look over the people. If Jake and the kids stayed, the Omaticaya will die in the process.
