     Azula and Vara were walking along the beach, hands interlocked when Azula heard a familiar voice. "Hey, lets go over here." Azula said, pulling Vara slightly around the marui pod that they were behind. Azula listened in closely, hearing Neteyam's voice, "Where is he, Aonung." Neteyam's voice echoed through Azula's ears, sounding aggravated. 

"I took him hunting, alright." Aonung replied. "Well, he's not back. So, where is he?" Neteyam asked again, more forcefully. "Out past the reef, that's where I took him. I thought he could make it back on his own. Apparently not." Aonung and his friends chuckled. 

Azula moved around to get a better look, "Come on." Neteyam said as he grabbed Aonung's queue. "What do you think your doing?" Aonung questioned, getting dragged by Neteyam. "You're going to tell my father what you told me." Neteyam said, anger and worry written on his face. 

Aonung fought, getting away from Neteyam's grip. Azula got out from behind the marui, grabbing Aonung's queue, "Not so fast." Azula said, Aonung wincing with pain. "Take him." Azula said as Neteyam grabbed Aonung's queue once again, dragging him to their marui. 

They had organized a search party for Lo'ak, the metkayian searching everywhere. As a conch blows, signaling that they had found Lo'ak, Jake gets off his skimwing and running up to Lo'ak. Jake reaches Lo'ak, Lo'ak wearing a angry expression. 

"Hey, hey. Lets have a look." Jake says as he checks for any signs of injures on Lo'ak. "He's fine. He's fine, yeah. Just a few scratches." Jake continues, stepping aside for Neytiri. "Lo'ak." Neytiri gasps as she jumps down onto the landing, followed by Neteyam and Azula, crouched down on the path behind her, "I pray for the strength that I will not pluck the eyeballs out of my youngest son." Neytiri continues as she does a scratching motion towards Lo'ak's eyes, Lo'ak moving his head back slightly.

"No! My son knows better than to take him outside the reef." Tonowari protests, making Aonung go onto one knee. "The blame is his." He continues. "Okay, lets go." Jake says, "No. This is not Aonung's fault. This was my idea. Aonug tried to talk me out of it. Really." Lo'ak protested. "Come on." Jake said as they all hoped onto the path, walking away from the crowd. 

As they got away from the crowd, Neteyam and Azula following, Lo'ak stopped, "Dad you told me to make friends with these kids. Thats all I was trying to do." Lo'ak spoke up. "I don't want to hear it." Jake stopped him, "Dad.." Lo'ak said. "You brought shame to this family." Jake said softy as Lo'ak's expression shifted. "Can I go now?" Lo'ak questioned. 

"Any more trouble, I jerk a knot in your tail. You read me?" Jake stated harshly. "Yes, sir." Lo'ak replied. "Go on." Jake said softly as Lo'ak walks off. 

"Where were you?" Neytiri questioned Azula. "Yeah, what happened to keep an eye on your brother?" Jake questioned Neteyam. "Sorry, I didn't" Azula said softly. "Sorry, sir." Neteyam spoke.
