You and Tsireya were proceeding to guide the family through the paths of the Awa'atlu village situated just below the mangroves of the huge tree behind their entire civilization.

The Sully's had emptied the saddles of their Ikrans and had all of their things carried in their hands, taking them to where they would be staying. Everyone was pitching in on holding something as they were given a tour of the village. Both you and Tsireya offered to carry some of the items that the Sully's had brought, insisting wanting to help them out in any way they could to make this whole process easier for them. It can't be easy moving from one place to another, so it was your job to make it as hospitable for them as possible.

You and Tsireya continued to lead them through a path that looked like it was weaved together with resources from their unique coastal region, and it was very bouncy and stretchy. It also overlooked the water on the bottom, showing how the sea animals were chirping and yipping as they swam in the water happily. The creatures coexisted with the reef people, keeping a healthy relationship between riders, inhabitants, and sea creatures alike.

Given that you and Tsireya were at the front, leading the family, Jake was behind the two of you with the kids walking behind him. On the way there, he couldn't explain it, but Jake's eyes were trained on you the entire way through. He watched as you smiled and laughed with Tsireya, already displaying this warm and loving energy, while also calm and collected. Jake felt something inside him, and he would say it's too early for butterflies becausehe just met you a few minutes ago. He would like to call it more of a sense of intrigue, but he wasn't fooled by this.

He wouldn't let himself go down this path again. It was too soon, and he wasn't looking for anybody right now. But, even so, having a friend around here might be nice. Settling in that wouldn't feel as daunting. Yeah, a friend.

"This way," Tsireya said. The kids followed behind Jake. First was Tuk, then Kiri right behind her and Neteyam and Lo'ak behind their sister. Out of curiosity, Tuk stopped in her tracks and smiled when she saw an Ilu leaning its head above the woven path, with a rider on its back. The creature started to try and reach something out of the basket Tuk was holding with its mouth, making her giggle as the woman riding the creature smiled. "Tuk, let's go. Come on," Kiri said, gently placing a hand on her shoulder before she fell behind.

"Just up here," Tsireya guided, leading the family to the hut that was situated at the very end of the path. It had been vacant for some time so this is where the family would be staying. Tuk was adorably bouncing and jumping on the weaved path with giggles erupting from the 8-year-old. Kiri smiled fondly at her younger sister. There was no denying that Tuk was precious and brought light into whatever place she was in. Her actions warmed the hearts of her dad and siblings. She was hard not to 'awe' at.
