Later in the evening

Watching some Metkayina throw out fishing nets on the beach just outside the new home of rest of family.

Arms around me knees and my chin on one of them

Everything quiet

Even ayoe seems to respect the peace the moment is bringing

The fisher navi reels his catch back in. two fish. Is this really my life now?

I was not allowed to do anything without supervision and I didn't even have anyone to do something with who wasn't forced to do so, especially not Spider

The sun was tinting everything in a yellow tone

But of course this moment of peace was over sooner rather than later, as I heard my father gather everyone for a family meeting

"Hey, where is Firin?" I glance toward my family and can see Neteyam looking on my direction

"(what are they saying?)" ayoe asked me, to which i looked at her

"(they want me inside)" i replied

"Firin? Are you coming?" I standt up with a groan and leave ayoe behind, whose eyes are the only thing following me

I begrudeingly sit down, my mood being soured just by the thought of spider not being here to spice up this surely mundane new life

"Hey, come on, sit down" Mom usheres me to join the others, as i bregrudeingly sit next to my siblings, who also seem to be in a bad mood

"Okay." My father starts. "Children, you need to show yourself from your best side now." He looked at each of my seiblings before letting his eyes fall back to me "I'm being serious." I think I know where this is going

"Learn fast, Do your part" jake continued "and don't start any trouble." he again glanced at me. I guess waves of rumors have already spread about me and ayoe having fought a couple of times and what not. "Is that clear?" he look at my brothers who seemd to focus on something on the floor, but not dad.

"Yes, sir" Lo'ak answered as the only one and for that was playfully tugged by the neck by Neteyam, who got a short hiss for his teasing.

Completely misreading the mood, tuk added her statement in a almost crying way "I want to go home"

"oh, tuk" Neytiri said in a motherly worry, but didn't move toward her youngest child, as her mate took over the consoling

"Tuk." Jake started, sitting himself closer to the young girl. "This is our home now." In a soft, but nonbudging way, grabbing her hand with his for a brief moment, before looking back into the rest of the circle

"We're going to get through this. We'll get through this if we're there for each other." He almost repeated himself, but like so often before, laid focus on the part where we had to act together, as if I was able to bring anything to the table in my compromised state. "Alright?" he ended with a rhetorical question, as if we had a choice but not to follow.

"What does your father always say?" Neytiri immediately took the que for her own question.

"The Sullys stick together." My siblings echoed, but not in sync. I stayed quiet, looking at my breather pack, instead of focusing on my family members. My mom pocked my leg, to get back the attention.

"That's right, the sullys stick together." He leaft a short dramatic pause. "And now with a little bit more enthusiasm. Yeah." He alsomst whispered that last part. I swear if ayoe heard this shit and could understand english, I mights aswell just bury myself alive.
