You never thought you would ever fall in love. It sounded to you as a bogus experience when described by lovebirds. Giving off the impression of a singular occurrence, in which only distinct individuals could revel in.

Though, as you hooked the needle-and-thread into the beads, your mind couldn't help but get distracted. All you could think about was his alluring face. The face your eyes had recently become accustomed to seeing, every morning.

It belonged to the one being you could truly call your true love, or more desirably– your soulmate.

The thoughts diverted your observation of your surroundings. The clan alternating from a noisy chatter to a muffled background sound. The late afternoon sun shone bright in the sky, glaring at the foliage from an angle.

Next to you, sat Neytiri and Jake, each holding roasted meat that was gathered in the hunt from earlier. Their back-and-forth responses suggested that they were deep in a conversation which you didn't bother paying much attention to.

A loss of focus overwhelmed you soon. Before you knew it, a mild stinging sensation traveled across your finger tip.

Your eyebrows furrowed in pain as you flinched. The necklace fell to the ground with a faint thud. Courtesy to her heightened senses, Neytiri caught the sound, turning to you. Jake was all too busy enjoying the roast to be as attentive.

You sucked your finger tip in your mouth with swiftness, the metallic taste of the crimson liquid filling your tastebuds.

"Are you okay?" She asked, taking in the scene that lay in front of her.

You removed the finger from your mouth to assess the puncture. "Yeah, I'm okay. Just pricked myself, that's all." You reassured her, flashing a small smile. You pressed your thumb over the puncture wound, to discern whether it was still painful.

She nodded, giving her own warm smile.

Luckily, pain did not plague you any further. On other matters however, with the necklace having been dropped, you hoped it wasn't broken.

Not so luckily– the bowl they were in got knocked over by the necklace as it fell. She offered to help you clean up the mess, then crouched down to pick up the beads that littered the floor.

You followed suit and also crouched down. Once you lifted the necklace into your right hand, you inspected it. A soft sigh of relief left your lips, the necklace was still in one piece.

You placed it on top of the log, and turned back in front of you to help Neytiri. The beads filled your hand as you scooped them up.

"How's the necklace coming along?" She asked, curiously and scooped up the last of the beads.

Clanking sounded as beads rolled from your hands into the bowl.

"It's great– In fact, I just finished sewing it together" you replied cheerfully, glancing up at her face. You rose up while dusting your hands off.

She too, dusted off her hands. "That's great– see, I told you it wouldn't take that long." She spoke, enunciating the verb.

You laughed and shook you head lightly after you registered the teasing tone that lingered in her voice.

The semi-smooth texture of the log met the underside of your thighs when you lowered yourself down. You took the necklace back into your hands, with a newfound fear for it's safety.

You realised only after you had sat back down that Jake had long disappeared– 'probably getting more arrow deer roast', you thought to yourself. You found this thought quite funny since he had previously hated the texture of the meat, when the clan first welcomed the both of you.
