Everyone is nervous because they don't know what to expect, but they're  also hopeful for the future.

Everyone knows they'll all have to adjust to their new environment and way of life.

But they're glad they're finally somewhere safe from the RDA.

Tuk falls asleep, head against her mother's side and Neytiri smiles down at her youngest and gently strokes her hair.

"Sleep well, Tuk." Neytiri whispers as Tuk continues to sleep.

They fly for days on end and get caught in a storm at some point, but eventually they arrive at their new home: Awa'atlu, the Metkayina clan.. if the Metkayina, specifically  the Olo'eyktan, Tonowari, and  the Tsahìk, Ronal, will let them stay.

Neytiri gently nudges Tuk awake as she's fallen asleep once more, like they all have at some point during their travel, but the destination is coming into view now.

"Are we there yet?" Tuk asks groggily.

"Yes." Neytiri says softly.

Mä'zu perks up and looks forward curiously as they fly over the reef, into the Metkayina territory.

"Woah.." Mä'zu whispers as the scenery is a big difference from the forest they're used to.

Läiay looks at the Ilus with the Na'vi in the water and he snorts.

Mä'zu chuckles softly at Läiay's apparent disapproval in the Ilus.

"Läiay, they're not doing anything wrong."  Mä'zu says softly, stroking his neck soothingly.

"Graww-roww." Läiay replies with an irritated rumble, clenching his jaws like he's suppressing the urge to eat one of the Ilus.

"Easy, boy." Mä'zu says softly, not wanting to draw the Sully's attention to her spirit brother's apparent dislike of the Ilus.

Läiay glares at Mä'zu, but she holds his gaze and he looks away like a  defiant child.

"Behave, alright?" Mä'zu says firmly as they get closer to the village.

Läiay doesn't reply, but he does  start to settle down and settle into a more neutral expression as they get closer to the Metkayina village.

The group of Omatikaya circle their Ikrans around, causing a Metkayina Na'vi to blow into a shell horn, to announce the arrive of the Sullys and Mä'zu.

The Sullys and Mä'zu find a place to land, and the teens, along with Jake and Neytiri, take their ponchos off.

The Metkayina eyes the newly arrived Sullys and Mä'zu, a mixture of curiosity and wariness evident in their expressions.

When the Metkayina see Läiay, they exchange hushed whispers, their eyes wide as they take in the sheer size and appearance of bum. Some of them gasp softly, pointing at the similarities he shares with Toruk.

Jake, Neteyam, Kiri and Lo'ak dismount their Ikrans as Läiay eyes the Metkayina clan with disgust and annoyance.

"Easy, boy." Mä'zu whispers, patting the side of his neck.

"Graawwhh." Läiay replies, his neck is arched and he has lowered his head as a sign of submission to her.

Läiay doesn't take his eyes off the Metkayina, every part of his body is on alert but otherwise, he remains calm and stays in place.

Mä'zu smiles at Läiay, scratching under his chin, right where he likes it.

Läiay rumbles and rubs his chin against Mä'zu's  hand,  finally settling down.
