Mune Olo'eyktan [Neteyam x Aonung]

Part 67

They both turn around and see Tsireya walking nearby, in the direction of their den. Right behind her is Rotxo, apologizing for something. Lo'ak and Kiri aren't far behind them.

Spider and the marine boy quickly stand and catch up to the others. Leaving Neteyam sitting there hardly noticing the events happening around him.

The two boys catch up to them, just outside of their den.

Rotxo- Listen to me.

Tsireya- No!

Spider- What's going on?

Kiri- Rotxo pulled her bond so hard she shrieked.

Aonung looks at his small friend in disbelief.

Aonung- Rotxo, what the hell? Why would you hurt Tsireya?

Rotxo- It happened before I even knew it! I'm sorry!

Kiri- Yeah right. You got mad as soon as she kissed Lo'ak.

Rotxo- I said I'm sorry!

Tsireya- I don't understand. All this time you acted like you were okay with us. Don't you approve?

Rotxo- . . . No.

Tsireya lets out a small gasp, while Aonung just stares at the boy in shock.

Lo'ak- Rotxo-

Tsireya- Why?

Rotxo- (scoffs) "Why?"

Lo'ak- Rotxo, calm down.

Lo'ak rests a hand on Rotxo's shoulder, but he shoves him away.

Rotxo- No! This is your fault to begin with!

Kiri- How is this his fault!?

Tsireya- Rotxo, please.

Rotxo- You really want to know why I don't approve? . . . Because he's mine.

Aonung- (looks at Lo'ak)

Tsireya- . . . What?

Rotxo- Lo'ak is my mate. We are bonded for life . . . He isn't yours.

Spider looks between Aonung and Lo'ak, watching the marine boy's anger rising with every word. Kiri looks at her brother, eyes wide, and full of disappointment.

Kiri- Lo'ak, what the hell were you thinking?

Kiri's question goes ignored. Lo'ak's full attention is on the marine boy, walking ominously towards him.

Aonung- I knew it . . . I knew you weren't fit for her, but I trusted you anyway!

Lo'ak- Aonung, let me expl-

Aonung- No! I thought I could trust you to be good to my sister, but you're nothing but a skxawng ass screwup!

Rotxo- No he isn't!

He aims his scowl at Rotxo.

Aonung- You . . . You betrayed Tsireya. Betrayed my trust, just like this worthless mate of yours.

Kiri- My brother is not worthless.

Rotxo- You're the main one who acts like he's a good-for-nothing.

Kiri- No I'm not.

Rotxo- Yes you are! You blame him for everything, even when it wasn't his fault!

Kiri- Well this is his fault! He made the decision to mate with you behind Tsireya's back. Lo'ak, what the hell were you thinking!?

Lo'ak- I was thinking that Rotxo understands me better than anyone else here! He doesn't scold me for every little mistake! He doesn't blame me for every problem! And he never tries to fix my behavior!

Tsireya looks down, feeling a million times lower than she already did.

Lo'ak- He is the only one who never looks down on me just for being myself!

Aonung- Tsireya has never looked down on you.

Lo'ak- Then I guess, in your words, she just isn't fit for me.

Aonung tackles the blue boy in an instant, and Rotxo is quick to jump in to defend him. While the three Na'vi boys fight, Kiri stands on the side yelling at them. Tsireya's vision blurs as a flood of tears form, and she covers her face, highly distressed by the discord that's once again growing amongst them.

Spider- Guys! Stop it, come on. We can settle this another way.

Not a soul listens to him, and he begins to look around for the usual voice of reason, Neteyam. But the boy is nowhere in sight. The space they left him in is now empty, and Spider is stuck being useless in this bad situation.
