Starboy - Lo'ak Sully

004

Nor Aria, or any of the Sully children were allowed to see the human. All they knew of was that he was alive and that he was a male.

It killed Aria, not knowing about this newcomer. She was desperate for some answers. And a human friend.

Jake would take small visits on the human while Norm and Max stayed with him throughout the entire time.

Apparently, he was in a coma, which Aria had to explain the term to Lo'ak and Neteyam.

Now, Aria was with the whole Sully family, and Spider. The group was discussing their new guest.

Aria payed less attention to those around her, only reading a book she had borrowed from Norm.

She was rereading, The Outsiders, one of her favourites, a classic.

Tuk's head lays in Aria's lap, the young girl intently listening to her older siblings.

"What if they sent that human to attack us?" Lo'ak questions and Kiri notices the worried look on Tuk's face after her brother's words.

"I'm sure it wasn't." Kiri reassures, not trying to scare her sister.

"Kiri's right. Plus, we know that if they even try to mess with us, Mom and Dad will send them right back to Earth." Neteyam states, causing Tuk to smile.

"They'll kick their butts!" She giggles, Aria softly letting out some air at Tuk laughing.

All was silent between them, until a flip of the pages was heard from Aria.

"What're you reading?" Lo'ak questions, moving towards and sitting next to his friend.

"My favourite book." Aria smiles, eyes glued to the pages.

"The Outsiders?" Lo'ak recites, slowly, reading the cover. Aria softly nods.

She had taught Lo'ak how to read basic english, while he in return taught her to speak words of Na'vi.

She was already fluent in three languages, one more wouldn't hurt.

"Read to us!" Tuk exclaims, sitting up from her lap. Aria smiles softly at the girl and then turns to Lo'ak.

"Come on, Ria." Lo'ak urges and Aria lightly slaps his arm, flipping to the front page.

Although the fan girl in her memorized the starting paragraph, Aria still allows herself to look at the words carefully.

"As I stepped out into the bright sunlight, I had only two things on my mind. Paul Newman and a ride home." Aria reads. Neteyam was watching the girl with a tender gaze, while Tuk's eyes stared right at her, a dreamy look on her face. Kiri was elsewhere, but still listening to the best of her ability. Even Spider was listening.

"Who's Paul Newman?" Tuk questions, the words unfamiliar on her tongue.

"He was an actor. A famous person on Earth." Aria softly explains and Tuk nods.

Aria spoke, reciting the next three chapters. She had stopped a lot within sentences, mostly questions from a very curious Tuk, or to explain what a car was, or stuff like that.

She enjoyed her time together with the Sullys. It finally had gotten her mind off of the human.

Soon enough, eclipse had fallen. The kids had all head home for the night.

Aria was heading back to her room, it's path passing by the lab.

Sneakily, Aria looks around and sees no scientist at the moment. Swallowing, she quietly opens and shuts the room door, sneaking into the lab.

She hadn't been there in a while, but it still looks the same to her. Science data scattered on a desk, bright white lights. Same old, same old.

The only difference was a medical kot with a human on it. Aria studies the boy for a moment.

He was pale and skinny. Long, dark brown, bushy curls of hair sat atop his hair, desperately needing a haircut. Well, not as desperately as Spider.

The boy's features were quite beautiful as well. A defined jaw line, as well as thin lips and a pointed nose.

Only two words came to Aria's mind at the sight of the boy.

Hot. Damn.

Yes, he was quite attractive, and his youth seemed similar to Aria's.

Nimbly, she picks up a clipboard, lying on a nightstand next to the boy.

She begins reading off in her head.

Name: Harry Stark.
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Birthday: TBD
Threat: TBD

Notes...
Health is critical... Patient in coma. Unresponsive. Unknown how he has arrived on Pandora. Awaiting further evaluation.

Aria rereads the data a few times. His name, stuck in her head.

Harry Stark Harry Stark Harry Stark.

The name was so familiar.

She would have pondered the questions further but she could hear voices chatter from outside.

Quietly placing everything back to it's normal position, she rushes back to her room and changes before hopping into bed.

Two words were left on her mind.

Harry Stark.
