Lo'ak had took Maleia's offer.
The night was young and Awa'atlu was dark.
The waves had seemed to calm but the life under the water had stayed the same. Life on the sand was not found since people were sleeping.
Maleia was holding onto the ilu she had found, waiting for Lo'ak to join her.
She was completely exhausted.
After her teaching with Lo'ak, she had to go straight to being the responsibility of being the next Tsahìk. Ronal hadn't given her a chance to breathe before jumping onto the next assignment of learning multiple healing techniques.
Lo'ak's hand pressed onto her arm, allowing Maleia to drift back into this reality.
"Where'd you go?" He asked.
Maleia smiled, "Somewhere warm."
Lo'ak nodded at her words— realising that the air around them was cold from the time of night.
He noticed as Maleia opened her mouth to let out a yawn before she quickly apologised.
"We can do this another time," Lo'ak mentioned before Maleia shook her head.
Whether she'd admit it or not, she actually liked spending time and enjoyed the little shared moments together since he first joined the land.
"How else will you learn?" Maleia asked, offering Lo'ak a comforting smile.
Lo'ak smiled back at her.
His mouth wanting to open at her beauty.
She almost had the same smile as Ao'nung, but Maleia made it her own.
"Right..." Maleia talked before moving the ilu to lay in front of Lo'ak, "Hop on."
Lo'ak followed her instructions and jumped atop the ilu, steadying himself like he was ready to fly on his own ikran.
Maleia let out a soft chukle, "You do not sit like that on this animal."
