since the new movie is out I have to go back to my roots 😛 (even though I haven't watched the new movie yet so sorry if I get some things wrong) also DO NOT read this if you don't want a few spoilers for the new movie. in this version of the story the Metkayina people had already experienced their war in fight for the tulkun against the sky people. Aonung ended up losing rotxo his best and closest friend. it hit him hard and he hasn't been able to trust or look past any sky person or avatar made Na'vi since. but then the Sully's arrive, fleeing their own war, and Aonungs world gets flipped around when they bring not only five fingered Na'vi's...but a human boy. (this story is a little bit flip flopped for my own plot line, the second and the third movie blending together with a few minor changes)

"This is a serious conversation." Neteyam stated, his intense big eyes still looking straight at Ao'nung's soul. "You look at me." He said and it wasn't a request. The metkayina gulped, his heart threatening to beat right out of his chest as he felt Neteyam's thumb rubbing the edge of his jaw. "Go on, what do you want to say?" "What I am saying is.." Ao'nung hesitated again. He felt as if Neteyam already knew what he was about to say and he felt naked under those eyes. As if Neteyam could see all his secrets without Ao'nung having to say a word. "What if I don't want you to choose someone else?" He asked and waited for Neteyam to get angry but the boy's expression remained serious. "And who would I choose then?" Neteyam asked, his voice still as soft as ever, as if afraid to spook Ao'nung. The metkayina swallowed with difficulty as his throat constricted with the heaviness of his emotions and nervousness. He had to be courageous, he had to be brave. So Ao'nung thought 'fuck it' and said exactly what he meant. "Me."

"He slowly pressed his hand over Ao'nung's heart, feeling its rhythmic beat beneath his palm. "You are strong, Ao'nung. Strong people admit when they are wrong. You are deserving of forgiveness." Ao'nung looked as if he was close to tears. He sighed and gently put his hand over Neteyam's. "I want to believe you.'" 𓆝 𓆞 𓆟 Neteyam and Ao'nung begin to grow closer after the Sully kids are taught how to make nets.
