The first time...

Tonowari didn't really feel very comfortable the first time he stared into those beautiful, sap-like eyes. The humility on his face, begging for shelter, made the Metkayina chief feel strange...

His slender blue ears twitched, and amber eyes met his. The Olo'eyktan's mind was restless; meanwhile, the tip of his large tail wagged silently in a daze. The Tsahìk gave his husband a small glance before letting out a sigh and nodding in agreement.

Sky blue eyes sparkled for a moment before opening his arms to welcome the Sully family, who had fled thousands of miles from their home.

"Do you... have feelings for him?"

"What do you mean?"

"Answering questions with more questions to a pregnant woman is not a wise idea, Tonowari." Ronal looked up from the cooking and bared her teeth with an angry expression. The chief's ears drooped before he let out a soft cough. Clear sea blue eyes looked outside the marui and saw the bodies of a family outside. The forest Na'vis were chasing each other in the distance.

"I'm not sure."

"I see. When your eyes met Toruk Makto, you got distracted. Your mind became scattered," she said in a calm voice. The Tsahìk, owner of a long and wavy mane, didn't care that her mate would never lust after her. Why would she? Even though they were husband and wife, having sexual relations with another was not prohibited by their tradition.

"..."

Her thin, light-colored hands were busy skillfully cooking dinner. Soon, her and Tonowari's children would return. She really didn't want to listen to them complaining from hunger. Especially during long periods of hunger like this. They might chase and attack each other.

Especially during this period of her pregnancy, where the hormones made her rage increase tenfold. She might end up chasing them out and sending them to sleep somewhere else without eating.

"Whatever you decide to do, do not waver... I believe Jake will give you a satisfactory response."

Judging from how he looked, he appeared humble and with no intention of wanting to cause any problems. It was enough to know that Jake Sully would try to be a good resident, even though the rest of the Sullys didn't seem to want to stay.

"I do not want to force it."

"Even Eywa can't help you with these things, Tonowari. You yourself know what it's like when you lose patience."

"Ronal... about that-"

"I can only hope nothing like that time happens again, as you fear. From complicity to violation."

The tip of the clan chief's large tail flickered slightly because of the displeasure that she had brought up with those memories from the past. Ronal heard him growl faintly but chose to ignore it.
