It was the first time they saw a sky person, which is you. They were glaring at you as if you're are some monster. It didn't bother you much, you've experienced something similar back in the forest though it didn't last long. But you figured this one would be.
Your brothers and sisters are required to practice with Tsireya and Ao'nung. Though you could join, your mother, Neytiri, didn't allowed you. She is very worried that you might drown and such. So she gave you a different task instead which is to help her do some chores. You were a bit bummed about it, but you then thought that you're spending time with your mother. So it's not all bad.
"Mom, what is that?" You pointed at the basket with fishes and clams. Neytiri added some bought-home teylu. "It's a gift for the Tsahik. For letting us stay." Though the first time Neytiri and Ronal met they were ready to tear each other's throats, It seems that she is still grateful.
"Is that so? Can I give it to her?" Your voice is filled with excitement. You just wanted to do something, you've been bored for the past few days. Contrary to your excitement, Neytiri is worried. She knows that Ronal might not like a human near her and might do something to you.
"I'm sorry (y/n), but I don't think that would be a good idea." You frowned from her words. She didn't like seeing you look sad, her little baby girl. "Well I guess you can, just be careful alright?" Your frowned to a big grin. You thank her and hugged her tightly. She returned the hug and pat your head.
You carried the basket, hopping on your way. Across the village, you saw your brothers and sisters swimming. Lo'ak struggling was entertaining. You laughed at the sight of him falling off the ilu. You continued to walk to the Tsahik's Marui. You know knocked to let her know that some is here.
"Come in." You took a deep breath and entered. Ronal turned around and saw you. You smiled at her while she gave you a slight glare. You already felt nervous by her presence.
"What do you want?" Her slight piercing toned made you look down. Mother's right, this must be a bad idea. "Oh um, I just came here to give you a gift. From us, we are grateful you let us stay here." You set the basket on front of her and went back to where you were standing.
Her eyes widen for a bit. She looked at the basket, some fish, clams, and a bag of teylu. She took it and put it near the other food she got. She look at you, up and down. A nervous smile released from you. "It's no problem. It's merely my duty to help someone. You may go." You bowed at her and left. She take a look at the basket again. She grabbed that bag of teylu and smelled it. She took a bite. She's a bit addicted.
You went back to your marui, your brothers and sisters are already there, taking a break. Neteyam noticed you going in, "Hello, baby sister. Where did you go?" He stand up, giving you some snacks. You ate some.
"I delivered something to the Tsahik." He tilted his head, "To the Tsahik? What did she do to you?" He leaned checking some bruises and such. You calmed your brother letting him know she didn't do anything. Your brother was a bit skeptical, but believes you.
Your mother then called Neteyam asking him to help her make food. He walk to her and started filleting the fish. You look out the marui, watch the water's wave. It is gorgeous, you've never been near water except some ponds in the forest. Your late mother showed you a pictures of her and your grandma on a beach making sandcastles. So you're excited that you can experience something similar here in pandora.
"Mother, can I walk near the shore?" She looked at you then think about it, well you haven't gone out unless your mother and father tells you to. She nodded and says yes. You smiled and hugged her leg, "Thank you, mother!" You hoped out of your marui, excited to go out.
"Do you think it's a good idea?" Neteyam asked his mother. Neytiri continued to make the fire. "She's hasn't gone out, I want her to experience it too." Neteyam just slowly nodded.
You walked near the water. You felt it wetting your toes, its cold, but you like it. You followed the line patting the water and the sand. Twirling around, oh how happy you are feeling something like this. Giggling every time the water hits your ankle.
Those giggles of yours distracted a young man. Ao'nung, son of Tonowari, saw you enjoying the water. For some reason this made his heart flatter. Seeing you enjoy his home, he's somehow glad.
He supposed to hate you, you're a sky person. You're supposed to be an enemy. But he doesn't feel any aura like that around you. You're appearance made you look like a flower. Your white dress following your twirls, spins, anything. This boy is catching feelings for you.
"Brother! Brother! Are you listening?" Ao'nung turned around to see his sister, both hands on her hips, "you're not listening at all." She pouted.
"Ah yeah, sorry what was it again?" Ao'nung gathered some fishes from the fishnets. Tsireya noticed you faraway.
She look at his brother with a smirk. "What's with that face?" Ao'nung looking irritated.
She giggled, "Who were you staring at?" Ao'nung's ear stiffened.
"I'm not staring at no one!" Ao'nung cheeks started heating up. This made Tsireya laugh more.
"You like her!" Ao'nung greeted his teeth, "Am not!"
He does, but his in denial. He groaned feeling irritated about this feeling. But mostly irritated by her sister's grin looking at him. He rolled his eyes... and look back to you again.
You picked up some shells and examining them, you've never seen a shells like these before. You like how pretty they look, shiny, smooth, colorful. You took some and carefully put them in your small weaved basket.
"Heeeey." Tsireya's hand waving in front of Ao'nung's eyes blocking you from his view. He hissed at his sister, "calm down brother, you can stare all you want later after lunch. C'mon father is calling us." He rolled his eyes and walked with her.
