Calm Before The Storm, Jake Sully

005, Waiting.

Mukata still wasn't happy about Jake's place for his sleeping.

He walked around the hammock, jumping across it to try and shake Jake awake.

"You skxawng, that isn't going to wake him!" Denahi slapped Mukata's calf, earning a quick glare from him to which she laughed at.

"What do you mean?" Mukata questioned before squatting next to his sister, beginning to questionably poke at Jake's blue flesh.

Denahi laughed again, "He is in his human form. We have to wait for him to come here."

She still didn't understand how it worked, but Denahi was very patient as she waited for Jake.

Mukata, on the other hand, was not.

"He is taking too long," Mukata stood, "Half the people have already gone hunting."

Denahi rolled her eyes, "What makes you think you're capable of going hunting? I am still carving arrows."

Mukata looked down at the unfinished arrows before sighing and beginning to walk from the hammock and onto the tree-branch.

"Bye!" Mukata waved before walking away.

Denahi crossed her legs, waving Mukata away as she watched him join other teenagers.

She looked down at Jake's body, noticing it was began to twitch and his eyes began to flutter open.

A smile filled her face, happy he was finally awake. "Do you like watching people sleep or something?" Jake playfully questioned.

Denahi's eyes widened before she shook her head. "Do not flatter yourself, Jake..." She replied before standing.

Jake's lips curled into a smile.

Hearing her accent on his name was something different against the others.

It was like it was meant to fall from her lips.

"Get up! Village life starts early..." Denahi exclaimed to Jake before pulling the blanket from his body, makimg him shiver at the sudden cold.

He stood with the roll of his eyes, "You are so eager to train me, aren't you?"

Denahi didn't understand him, but she knew she didn't like his tone of voice. "Come," She said in her language, taking his wrist and dragging him towards the tree-trunk so they could climb down.

Jake watched in admiration as Denahi climbed down with experience, knowing he couldn't make himself look like that.

He grunted as he climbed down the tree, almost slipping a few times which made Denahi have to cover her mouth to hide multiple laughs.

"So, what we doing today?" Jake asked Denahi as they walked from Hometree.

Denahi hummed to herself, watching the flora surrounding them with a content smile.

Her home made her so happy.

This was the place she was raised, and she couldn't help fall in love with it.

The exact opposite to Jake. He grew up in a dying planet, nothing but the colour grey. Spotting green, or blue, within Earth would almost be nonexistent.

He couldn't deny Pandora had a beauty to it — one in which was going to be destroyed.

"Training you to ride pa'li," Denahi responded.

"Pauli?" Jake asked, butchering her language once again. "Direhouse, in your language," Denahi explained after a slight chuckle.
