●"If you're here to torture me for more answers, please do us both a favor and kindly fuck off."
Sìkve was chained to a chair in a blank room with large windows he couldn't see out of. He knew they could see him though.
Whatever machine they forced him to endure really fucked him over. He almost broke a tooth from how hard he was clenching his jaw. That was all he could do given the fact they had injected him with some type of sedative that made him too weak to fight back. However with each injection, his body was building an immunity to it. He just needed to wait for the perfect moment to escape.
Sìkve refused to give them any answers even as they tried picking apart his brain. So now he had a bleeding nose and a black eye.
The door opening barely caught his attention and he continued staring at the floor.
"Sìkve, it's me."
The man's ears stood upright from hearing someone speak Na'vi and he looked up from his staring contest with his blood on the floor.
"Spider?"
Spider winced at how beat up he looked but nodded.
"Have they hurt you?" Sìkve hoped they did not subject the human child to the horrors they did himself.
"No, uh Quaritch is looking out for me."
Sìkve tensed up and narrowed his eyes suspiciously. Now, he did not treat Spider differently than any Na'vi child but hearing those words made him wonder if the boy had betrayed him and their people.
"Why are you here? Why did they allow you to see me?"
"They're hoping I can talk some sense into you."
Sìkve chuckled slowly then sighed, "Just stay strong, play nice and find out any information that you can. I'll get us out of here kid."
"We have seven days," He lowered his voice, "I overheard one of them. If I can't get you to say anything in a week, they'll kill you."
The Na'vi hummed to himself quietly and leaned his head back.
Seven days of torture.
No, he wouldn't look at it that way.
It was just seven days until he saw his little girl again.
That's all he needed.

The next morning came by faster than Nîryni thought it would.
Tuk and Neteyam were the first to wake up as usual. The older boy was helping their mother arrange a light breakfast for the rest of his siblings.
Tuk was interested in helping at first but she quickly was consumed by boredom.
She looked over at Nîryni and Lo'ak sleeping peacefully and grinned.
