"Loak you're gonna sit at this table looking like that?! Fix your hair she's going to think we're animals." Loak rolled his eyes at his mother's words and crossed his arms. Yea I don't think she'll be offended considering she's half fish.

"Where is kiri she knows we all have to be here!" Neytiri groaned as she kept pacing around the marui. Everything in the navi's home had been hectic since the three kids got there. Their mother kept rambling on in the background while moving stuff around to organize.

Loak glanced over to his brother who was groaning into his hands as he looked to the open water. He scoffed at the sight and looked around the marui. His mother was still pacing and now focused on the food. Tuk was hopping around chanting Y/N's name, and his father was out trying to find Kiri.

Loak walked over to his older brother and patted his back. "You good bro?" Neteyam groaned in response "This is gonna be the most awkward moment of my life. Y/N won't even wanna come back after this." Loak swung his head back and chuckled. "Yea I think you should be more worried about what mom and dad will see when they see her." Neteyam threw himself onto the ground and smacked his hands over his head. "Im so done for."

"Loak what are you doing sitting around! I said fix your hair!" Loak groaned in acknowledgment and walked off to "fix" himself.

"Neteyam come help me set the table son." Neteyam stood and walked over to his mother. "Put this on the table." She waved him off. As he set the dish down he finally looked at the contents. Fish. Wait...does Y/N even eat fish. WILL THIS OFFEND HER. Maybe she does-why am I assuming-yea-its-yea-

Neteyams thoughts kept wandering and soon Jake and Kiri walked into the marui. "Smells nice."His fathers voice snapped him out of his trance and he whipped his head over to the entrance and was relieved when he saw Kiri.

"Kiri where have you been! I needed support to mentally prepare. Also do you think Y/N eats fish. Oh eywa I hope she does..." Kiri raised a brow and patted her brothers back. "Honestly I don't know if she does but I think she'll be fine cus I've seen her catch fish before." Neteyam sighed in relief.

The table was soon fully set and everything was ready, a bit later than expected since Kiri told her parents to move the table closer to a spot where there was an opening to the ocean. Neteyam thanked her cus he didn't even think about how awkward it'd be having to plunge Y/N out of the water to the center of the marui.

The family sat in awkward silence as they waiting for the girl. "So you said she lives far maybe we shoulda gone to her place huh." Jake said as he took a swig of his drink. Neteyam chuckled as he stared out to the ocean. "Yea I don't think that's possible honestly considering-OW!" Loak's comment was cut off by Kiri yanking on his tail.

The silence was cut off by Tuk squealing and jumping up. "It's Y/N!" The kids whipped their heads whipped their head towards the ocean while their parents looked at the path near the marui. Kiri caught this in the corner of her eye. Oh yea they don't know she's a mermaid yet...

The kids could see Y/N's tail shimmering as it cut through the surface of the water. She quickly reached the marui and slowly peeked her head out from water. The park noticed their kid's greeting
Y/N and peered over.

Did she swim here? The two thought as they saw the girl in the water. They got up and made their way over closer to their kids.

Both of the parents mumbled "I see you" and bowed their heads as they greeted her which Y/N quickly returned. "Nice to finally meet you these kids are always talking about you." Jake looked kept looking down at her and noticed she just was just smiling at the group. "She can't speak navi dad. Sometimes she can't really pick up on it well told so you should sign." Kiri instructed Jake seeing his confused face.
"Oh! Well that's your mom's area of expertise Im still catching on with it."
