His eternal sun|Neteyam Sully1

Hunted like animals

The next day, the Sully family and Mä'zu are gathered together in their shared marui, having just recently finished breakfast and getting ready for the day, the dishes from their meal already cleaned and put away.

Tuk is excitedly tugging at Jake's arm, looking up at him with wide unblinking eyes.

"Come play with me, come on. Pleeeaaaseeee." Tuk begs.

Jake looks down at Tuk with an affectionate smile. He can never say no to her pleading eyes.

"Alright, alright, I surrender." Jake says with a mock defeated tone, holding up his hands in mock surrender.

Tuk jumps up with excitement, her face lighting up as she eagerly tugs on her father's arm, leading him towards a space where they can begin their game.

Neytiri follows after them, secretly relishing in how Tuk gets Jake to put on high pitched girlish voices for the game, which is nothing new.

Mä'zu's currently snuggling Kiri, instead of cuddling with Neteyam as usual because  Kiri scolded Neteyam for 'hogging' Mä'zu.

Kiri giggles and snuggles up to Mä'zu who enjoys her best friend's company.

Neteyam is a small space away from Mä'zu. He looks at them from across the room and it's easy to tell he's jealous and he's missing Mä'zu.

But Neteyam's happy Mä'zu's getting the attention she deserves and he waits for her to come back to him.

"Want a hug bro?" Lo'ak asks Neteyam when he sees his jealously.

"Yeah." Neteyam says softly.

Lo'ak puts his arms around Neteyam in a tight hug which he mirrors.

Neteyam looks over Lo'ak's shoulder and sees Mä'zu enjoying Kiri's company across the room.

Neteyam doesn't hide his desire to be with the woman he loves, his gaze constantly shifting to her, his lips parted slightly, his tail curled up, his ears forward.

The corner of Neteyam's  mouth twitches slightly, as his eyes seem focused on Mä'zu alone, the slightest hint of irritation evident on his face.

Though, of course, Neteyam  keeps to himself and doesn't voice any complaints as he waits for Mä'zu  to return to him.

Lo'ak lets go of Neteyam and sees his  jealous expression as he stares at Mä'zu and Kiri who are still hugging and Lo'ak chuckles softly, patting Neteyam's  back.

"Relax, bro. Your girlfriend will come back to you soon." Lo'ak says lightheartedly.

Neteyam  huffs softly in response, his gaze reluctantly leaving Mä'zu and going to Lo'ak.

"It's just... I miss her cuddles, okay?" Neteyam  admits softly, his eyes still fixed on his girl.

Lo'ak grins, shaking his head in amusement.

"Oh, wow, the great and mighty Neteyam missing cuddles?" Lo'ak teases, his eyes glinting with mischief.

"Oh, shut up, Lo'ak. Don't act like you're not the same with Tsireya." Neteyam retorts, rolling his eyes, though he can't help the corner of his mouth twitching up into a half smile.

Neteyam glances back over at Mä'zu once again, a yearning to have her in his arms again etched across his face.

Lo'ak lets out a mocking sound, feigning offence.

"What? Who, me?" Lo'ak asks with a hint of sarcasm.

"I'm much more subtle and collected in front of my love interests, unlike someone here." Lo'ak adds teasingly.
