Mune Olo'eyktan [Neteyam x Aonung]

Part 108

At the moment, Lo'ak and the others are on their way to the East beach with Sorfé. As they walk near the forest edge, Lo'ak picks up a few small rocks and starts throwing them lightly at Rotxo, who's walking in front of him.

As Lo'ak giggles at Rotxo trying to ignore him, he suddenly gets hit in the chest with a rock coming from him. Rotxo turns around with his own hand full and a small rock war starts between them.

As Lo'ak starts chasing Rotxo, they run ahead of the others, and Lo'ak brushes against Kiri, making her grunt in annoyance.

Kiri- Seriously, you two?

Lo'ak- Oh come on, live a little.

Lo'ak turns around, jogging backward for a moment, and Kiri rolls her eyes.

Rotxo- Gotcha!

Rotxo suddenly tackles Lo'ak to the ground from behind since he wasn't paying any attention. As the couple begin to laugh at each other now covered in sand, Sorfé smiles back at them.

Sorfé- Why not join them?

Kiri- I'm good. I'll just let them be immature with each other.

Sorfé- You think fun is immature?

Kiri- Well, no, but they're mates. They made an adult decision, they're supposed to be more mature than that now.

Sorfé- Really?

Kiri- Yeah, they should be more focused on preparing themselves for their future.

Sorfé- I think you worry too much, for them. They look fine to me.

Kiri- Of course I worry, he's my brother, and he doesn't do that enough. It's why he does all the dumb shit he does. Like mating before he was ready.

Sorfé- If he truly was not ready, then he would not have mated. You should give him more credit.

Kiri- He did that because he didn't think with his head.

Sorfé- Perhaps he didn't need to.

Kiri- What?

He slows his pace to walk right next to Kiri, strolling with his hands now behind his back.

Sorfé- Have you ever liked someone?

Kiri- No.

Sorfé- Has anyone ever liked you?

Kiri- Not that I know of.

He hums, and Kiri gives him a curious look.

Kiri- What? That's not so strange.

A white and purple flower is suddenly held in front of her face, making her stop.

Sorfé- For you.

She glances at him before gently taking the flower from his hand and sniffing its sweet aroma. The scent makes her smile.

Kiri- Thank you, but, why the sudden gift?

Sorfé- I just thought it would make you smile, and I was right.

Kiri looks at him in a bit of awe as she feels her face warm just the slightest. But her moment is interrupted when Lo'ak suddenly walks up to speak to them.

Lo'ak- Hey, isn't that Yune?

They look in the distance and see the boy's poofy ponytail blowing a bit in the breeze as he sits on the shore.
