Old Cat New Tricks

I mean what else could have been done? They had a gun to his head making demands. Who were they to do that? After everything. I mean four years of my life you'd think they'd find a better alternative.. nah. Breaching government policy, out of everything that went down I was the criminal? To be punished by death? Whatever. American military was never my thing anyway, I found my home. No it's not the blue alien planet I'm now forced to be apart of, no.. my home is blue. But it's not a place, it sparkles but it doesn't glow. I count myself lucky being able to see it each morning.

"Rise and shine kitties!". Groaning and whining the recoms squinted open their eyes, "it wasn't a dream... fuck we're really here.." that's what they thought anyway. "Let me guess. No artificial bacon this morning?" Groaned Fike. He was always grumpy in the mornings.

Leaning over Ace staring directly to his soul, Nick stood waiting for him to wake up. "Hey blue eyes.." muttered Ace. "Mornin sweetie, we got shit to do" Said Nick. Getting up the recoms yawned wiping their faces. "Y'know, sleeping on the floor ain't half bad" yawned Zhang. "I can actually breathe" huffed Zee.

"Oh Ace I gotta tell you something" said Nick taking Ace to the side. "Me and the group have to talk to Tsu'kira but you remember the school I told you about?" Asked Nick. "The one that got shot up?",  "yeah. One of the students is gonna be the uh karyu?.. means teacher or something but she got forced the job because she's one of the few speaking English".  "Is it just me getting stuck with her?" Asked Ace. "Should be, I'm sure she'll have a body guard or something, knowing you" chuckled Nick. "Fuck off mate, if I get shot with an arrow I'm ripping your tail".  "Yeah yeah, please just behave, we'll be a while I think".  "I'll be on my best behaviour" said Ace rolling his eyes. With a pat on the shoulder Nick sat with the group waiting for them to get ready, Ace sat on a log waiting for his karyu.

"That her name? Do I call her that? I don't even?...". A tap on the head was enough to make the PTSD recom jump. Turning around it was a fairly young Na'vi woman, she had what Ace could only describe as a native necklace around her neck, something noticeable about it was that there was a little woven toy figure attached. As she looked at Ace she tried smiling and attempting a wave motion, trying to say hello he figured. It would only be right to stand and greet her. Standing up, she looked intimidated by Ace's height, holding out his hand she almost jolted trying to keep her composer. "Hi, karyu? Names Ace". Examining his hand, the karyu looked up at him before counting his fingers. "One... two.. three.. four.. five..".  "You can count in English? That's.. something".
"Uh sorry, not often I see people with five".
"That's right" Ace smiled looking down, "half blood" he said, waving his fingers about. "I'm supposed to take you for clothes and tikangkem.. work.." she hesitated. Ace looked confused, with a nod of his head the Na'vi woman turned around walking off, Ace followed. "What's wrong with my clothes might I ask?" said Ace. "People do not wear those things here" she said. "What will I be wearing?" He asked, flicking his tail. "What all Na'vi wear" she replied. Stopping in her tracks, she examined him up and down, his build was quite different to any Na'vi or avatar she'd ever seen, not only was he taller but he was a built like a unit. Like the other recoms Ace still had a trim waist, wide shoulders. "It may be difficult dressing you properly, considering your.. size.". Ace looked proud examining himself with her.

"Now stand here if that's alright" she said. They were now inside a tall strung up tent filled with leather clothing and little tools for sewing. Holding his arms up in front, Ace flicked his tail as she touched him examining his body. "I think I made one fitted for you, this will go around here" she tapped his hips. "I'll help you adjust it properly". Her tone was so sweet and gentle, Ace had no idea what was needed next. "Take these off" she instructed. "The pants?" He asked. "Everything".  Flattening his ears down Ace took a gulp, problem wasn't that he was shy no. Problem was he didn't want to get naked in front of a sweet Na'vi woman. "Look, your a nice lady really, but. I can do this all without you here".  "I'll turn around, if it's me that's the issue, i deal with clothing the youngsters so your in good hands".  "Yeah but I'm not a youngster darling" said Ace tilting his head with a smirk. With a sigh she turned around flicking her tail. Ace got undressed tying the leather cloth around his hips, there was a under cloth that's meant to cover everything up incase the over cloth moved around. "This shits giving me a wedgie.." muttered Ace. "Wedgie?" The girl asked still turned around. "Clothes going up your ass" he replied. "I'll fix it for you", turning around the problem was simple, it was tied too tight and too far spun to the right. Taking the cloth she moved it around loosening the string tightening it back up. "I don't even know your name" sighed Ace looking embarrassed. "Nekawn" she said, looking focused on tying the rope.
