Early afternoon Ao´nung knocks at the front door of the Sully family home. “Oh, It’s you”, Lo´ak growls” C-can I come in?..”. “Depends, why are you here?”. “Lo´ak who is it?”. “Ao’nung”. Neteyam looks at Lo´ak and then leads him inside” What do you want?”. Ao´nung looks at them” I wanted to apologize, it wasn´t right for me to pick am you guys.I mean I know school environment changes a lot, some people leave and new people come but never in the middle of the school year…And you guys are different and I don’t do to well with changes like these”. He rubs his neck nervously” I might have been a bit jealous as well…”. The two look at each other and then at him “ You know what, it’s ok. We might not fully trust you just yet but we will forgive you”, Neteyam says und Lo'ak nods “You also have to apologize to Kiri”, Lo´ak states und he nods” I will, thank you for accepting my apology”. They decide to spend some time together playing basketball outside” looks like I got a honorable opponent”, Lo´ak says as he dunks the ball in the basket “Neteyam isn’t the best”. “Hey! At least I didn’t nearly suck in my hamster with a vacuum cleaner“. „Bro come on I was 8”. Ao´nung burst out laughing so does Neteyam while Lo´ak pouts.They get back to playing.
Neteyam went back inside to get something to drink for all of them. He sits down on the ground and watches them play, he notices Lo´ak rubbing his chest a few times and Ao´nung notices his breath getting wheezy” We should take a break”, he suggests but Lo´ak declines” Nah I wanna beat you first”. So they get back to the small match they got going on but it doesn’t last long.

After dunking the ball again Lo´ak stumbles, falling onto his knees in a coughing fit. Neteyam gets up quickly” Ao´nung stay with him, keep him upright and try to keep him calm, Lo´ak buddy where do you have your spray?”. Lo´ak shrugs. He forgot it in his sports bag which he left in his locker und can’t remember where he had placed the spare one.” Fuck, ok I’ll be right back”. He runs around in the house going through several cabinets and drawers, he eventually finds it in a small bag in Lo´aks bathroom drawer. He runs back outside and helps Lo’ak use the Inhaler” It’s oh buddy take it slow”. After a few more uses of the inhaler Lo´ak calms down and is able to breathe again” Ao´nung can you help me get him inside?”. Ao´nung and Neteyam help Lo´ak to his feet and bring him inside, laying him down on the couch.” What now? ” I’ll wait till mom gets home then well bring him to a doctor to make sure he’s fine”. “Oh, l goes I’ll go home then bye”. “Bye”.
Neytiri arrives shortly after Ao’nung left, she picked Tuk up from school.” What’s wrong with Lo´ak?” Tuk asks “He had an asthma attack”. Neytiri looks at the sleeping Lo´ak worried” He hadn’t have one in a while, how bad?”.” It was a mild one, we played basketball when it happened “. „Oh, I guess we have to move his appointment forward and get him Checked out today”. They were supposed to meet up with a new doctor for Lo´aks Asthma next week, but Neytiri and Jake prefer to get him looked over on the same day he has an asthma attack. Neytiri grabs her phone and calls the doc” Hello this is Mrs. Sully we have an appointment for next Wednesday, it is for my son Lo'ak, yes that’s right… I was wondering if we can move the appointment on today? He had an asthma attack about 10 to 20 minutes ago and I would prefer if he could get looked over?... You can that’s great thank you we will be right over”. She hangs up and gathers Lo´ak medical information’s and heads off with him to the check up. Neteyam plays with Tuk in the meantime.” Where are mom and Lo´ak?”, Kiri asks when she gets home” Getting him checked out by a doc, he had an Asthma attack, how was school?”.” Boring Rotxo wasn´t there but hey Tsireya made a new record in the swim team”. “That’s cool. Do you know if they have an archery club?”.
She shrugs and looks through the fridge to find the yogurt bites she made, stimming while doing so, Neteyam notices it as her nervous stims ”Not a good day?”. She shakes her head, even with her being happy over Tsireyas achievement it was hard for her because Rotxo wasn’t there, he became one of the very few people she sees as a safe space in a person. She grabs her snack and heads to her room. Neteyam then helps Tuk with her homework.
Neytiri and Lo´ak get home after a while and bring take out with then, they sit together and eat. Jake looks at Lo´ak” You feel better now?”, “Yeah, just still a bit tired”.” You go to bed early, you two are going back to school tomorrow”, Neytiri tells them and they nod. In the night Lo´ak sleeps cuddles up to Neteyam again.
