The next morning, at the home of the Sullys, Neteyam is awakened by an abrupt weight on top of him. His eyes instantly open and are greeted by Lo'ak and Tuktirey.The larger of the two is currently sitting on him, while the youngest is kneeling next to the bed.
Tuktirey- Good morning, Tey.
Neteyam- Morning.
Lo'ak- We want biscuits, bro.
Neteyam- Did you really have to sit on me to tell me that?
Lo'ak- No, but it's fun.
His brother stands off of him and starts jumping on his bed.
Tuktirey- Me too! Me too!
Tuktirey climbs onto the bed to join him, both bouncing on the mattress and around Neteyam, who just wants to kick Lo'ak off.
With that thought in mind, he lifts his leg, which is still under the blanket, making Lo'ak slip and fall. He hits the mattress so hard he bounces off onto the floor.
Lo'ak- Ow!
Both Neteyam and Tuktirey burst into laughter as he sits up rubbing his arm, and he glares at them.
Lo'ak- This is abuse!
Neteyam- What's abuse is being jumped on first thing in the morning.
Lo'ak- You could've just joined in.
Neteyam- Yeah right. Now both of you leave me alone until I'm done washing.
He finally rises from his bed that desperately needs to be made up, then heads to do his morning routine. Once he's finished, he saunters into the kitchen and finds all three of his siblings waiting at the table.
Tuktirey is kicking her feet in anticipation. Lo'ak is leaning on the table giving him the most pitiful look because he's probably "starving". And Kiri is still in the gown she likes to sleep in, with her sleeping mask on, falling asleep.
Neteyam chuckles at them while he goes to pull out whatever he needs to make their biscuits and other things they want for breakfast.
He almost wishes Aonung was there to cook for them. He may have the skill, but his food tastes nothing like his lover's cooking.
Just as he starts mixing ingredients, the house phone rings. The thought of purchasing portable ones for him and Aonung crosses his mind. He'd like to be able to talk to the boy wherever he is.
Lo'ak groans as another distraction pulls him from making breakfast, and he answer's the phone.
Neteyam- Hello?
Lo'ak continues to groan, and almost bangs his head on the table, until the sound of the phone hitting the floor draws his attention. He and his siblings look at Neteyam, who's standing with a face full of shock.
The younger boy quickly hops from his seat and goes up to his brother with heavy concern.
Lo'ak- Bro, what's wrong?
Neteyam only stares at him, clearly distraught. Lo'ak grabs onto his arms gently, rubbing them a bit with his thumbs for comfort.
Lo'ak- Neteyam, what is it?
Neteyam- . . . It's Aonung.
Kiri, who's now fully awake, watches in anticipation, and shares a look with Lo'ak.
Kiri- Again?
Lo'ak- What happened? Is he okay?
Neteyam- He left for Kau'kin with his granddad . . .
Kiri- . . .
Lo'ak- . . . What?!
