Ti'yawn=love

The kids then all make their way to the communal dining area doing their duties by gutting fish,cutting fruits and starting the fires.

Nerika and Tsireya then take a seat on a log far from the rest of the group. "So what did you want to tell me?" Nerika asks. Tsireya sighs before looking up at Nerika, "Well, Aonung told me that your brothers told him about your and Kora's past reationship" Tsireya says.

"Oh my eywa those skxawngs" Nerika says, "There's nothing going on with me and Kora, we had something but it faded. He's my best friend, nothing more" Nerika explains. "I believe you and Aonung does too, but I don't think he likes your friends" She says. Nerika sighs before turning back to the fish she was gutting, "I'll talk to him" Nerika says.

"Rika!" they hear someone shout out for her, it was Zuki. Nerika then gets up and makes her way to Zuki who was standing with Kiri and Kora. "Zuki what is it?" Nerika asks. "Kiri told me everything" Zuki says while hugging Nerika. "What do you mean?" Nerika asks. "They were asking how life was here" Kiri explains.

"Oh, well it happend but it won't again cause his gone" Nerika says. "We're sorry that happened to you" Kora says while putting his hand on Nerika's shoulder reassuring her. Nerika smiles at him before saying, "Come let's go sit" she says before leading them to the logs where she and Tsireya had been sitting.

"Hi" Tsireya says greeting them. "Hey" they say back. They all continued to gutthe fish and chop the fruits. "Hey I never did ask, how's it back in the forest? Is grandmother doing ok?" Nerika asks. "Yes she's amazing, your grandmother's one feisty woman. She slapped me in the head because I couldn't bandage my own wound" Kora says. "Yeah that's our grandmother alright" Kiri says while giggling.

"Why did you guys come?" Tsireya asks, "Not to be rude, Im just curious" she continues. "Well Eyku, our older brother had a message for Toruk Makto and your father but we don't know what that message is" Zuki says. "Hm" Tsireya says, "I wonder what it could be" Kiri and Nerika give each other a knowing look both thinking the same thing, sky people.

The kids all eat and make it back to theirmarui. Nerika was walking with Kora, Kiri and Zuki back to their marui. "Hey guys I need to go somewhere, I'll see you soon?" Nerika says. "Where are you going?" Zuki asks. "I just need to talk to Aonung, I'll be back" Nerika says. "Okay, see you tomorrow" Kiri says while winking before walking with the rest back to their marui.

Nerika then walks over to Aonung's marui meeting Tonowari at the entrance. "Good evening Nerika, how can I help you?" He greets. "I wish to speak with Aonung if that's alright" she says. "Of course, he's in his corner" Tonowari says. Nerika then smiles at him before walking into the marui greeting Ronal and Tsireya before walking over to Aonung's corner.

She opens the leaf door and enters the corner seeing Aonung sewing a bunch of beads together making an armband not noticing Nerika's entry. "Nung?" She says. He then looks up to see Nerika smiling at him. "Oh hey, what are you doing here?" He asks. "I miss you, I barely saw you the whole afternoon" she pouts.

"I missed you too, come sit" he says putting down the needle and the beads. Nerika then sits down next to him resting her head on his shoulder. "Wanna go for a swim?" He asks. "After we talk" she says. "About?" He asks.

"Your problem with Kora and Zuki" Nerika says while crossing her arms. "I dont have a problem with your friends" Aonung says. "Cut the lies Nung, Tsireya told me about your issue with my friends. Why?" She says.

Aonung sighs before turning to Nerika, "I don't hate your friends but your friend Zuki has got an attitude and that Kora guy is your ex" Aonung says before turning away not wanting to make eye contact. "Nung" Nerika says while placing her arm on his shoulder, "Kora isn't my ex, he liked me but nothing ever actually happened and as for Zuki, just give her time; she's new to this" she says.
