Luminous Nights [Neteyam x Aonung]

First Days : Part 3

The Sully kids face Aonung and his sister. The marine boy rolls his eyes and silently walks over to the left wing. Rotxo instinctively follows behind him, and Tsireya motions for the Sullys to follow.

Aonung leads them right up the staircase that's placed at the left wing's entrance, planning to show the bottom floor last so he can continue on to his room afterwards.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, and two bathrooms. As they walk past each room, Aonung points at them stating what the room is. As if they can't tell by looking into it and seeing the beds or showers.

He points to the second bathroom at the end of the hall with an open door, and turns around to face the Sullys.

Aonung- And that is another bathroom.

Kiri- Okay, we get it.

Lo'ak- We aren't blind.

Aonung- You're the ones who wanted a tour. It's just a house.

Tsireya lightly hits Aonung's shoulder.

Tsireya- Father wanted them to have this tour, and you know there's more to our home than just bedrooms.

Aonung- Why do they need to see it? They're just temporary guests.

Tsireya- Would you like to explain that to our parents?

Aonung lightly glares at his sister, then his smaller friend places a hand on his shoulder. He leans over to let the boy speak softly into his ear, then leans up and starts to look around.

Aonung- Where's your brother?

Lo'ak turns around and only sees Kiri and Tuktirey behind him.

Tsireya- I know he came upstairs.

Tsireya immediately starts looking into the rooms, then stops at one just staring for a moment before calling out.

Tsireya- There he is. He must be tired.

The others walk up to the entrance of the room, looking in. Neteyam is already on a bed, under a blanket that wasn't there when Aonung showed them the room.

Lo'ak tells them to leave his brother be and just continue the tour without him. Rotxo whispers to Aonung again, and Kiri's brows furrow as she watches them.

Kiri- What's he saying?

Aonung- If it was any of your business, he would tell you.

Lo'ak and Kiri glance at each other, equally annoyed. Tsireya gives them an apologetic look as Aonung leads them down the hall. She walks up next to her rude brother and starts lecturing him in a whisper, hoping their guests don't hear.

The Sully kids are aware of what's happening even though they can't make out what she's saying. Before heading down the staircase, Lo'ak looks back at the room they left Neteyam in. He wishes he would've continued the tour with them, but knows the older boy just needs time to adjust.
