Chapter Text
i couldn't stop looking at it. everything about it was so beautiful... i had never seen such a beautiful color of a navi.
my thoughts were interrupted by the conversation between my father and tonowari and the angry comments thrown at our family by tsahik. the blood in my veins began to flow faster. how dare she insult our features. my father is now the most famous person on the planet. highly respected by all the clans. and she insults our mixed genes. i wanted this whole show to end as soon as possible. after a short while and a few hisses, the village chief decided to give us uturu for as long as it was needed.
he ordered the girl who caught my brother's eye to give us a tour around the village. this task was also assigned to a beautiful boy who strongly opposed his father's command.
damn, so unbearable, but so beautiful
after a moment, tsireya showed us the marui where i and my family were supposed to live. it was nice, pretty cozy but spacious. only my mom sighed, seeing the interior of our new home. it took us about an hour to unpack and familiarize ourselves with the basic customs of the locals. meanwhile i started to be impatient. i was so eager to see that beautiful navi. he was nowhere to be found. it made me sad a little bit because i really wanted to say hi to him at least.
"son, focus on what tonowari is saying," my father suddenly poked me on the shoulder.
"yes sir" i whispered quickly, pulling away from my thoughts.
i can't even think about him.
always have to be obedient.
chief told us in detail about the traditions and daily life of the locals. somehow it did not interest me much so I reluctantly listened to his talk. until suddenly he joined our conversation. exactly him. lo'ak immediately looked at him with aversion and hostility. however, i could not take my eyes off him. why must he be so enchanting?
at that moment i did not know the answer to that question.
he sat next to his father and looked at us every now and then. i don't know why but i started nervously playing with my fingers. his presence intimidated me. his gaze was quite sharp. but his face seemed to be gentle. sometimes i had to look away, he was just too overwhelming. but i still planned to at least introduce myself and ask a few things.
"thats it for today jake sully" tonowari smiled. "my children will show your sons and daughters how to ride an ilu and to dive into the water" he added.
"thank you so much, it means a lot" my father answered putting his hand in tonowari's shoulder. i saw the dissatisfaction on aonung's face. i don't know why but somewhere in me a little bit of understanding awoke.
we were from another clan, we were escaping from evil. at any time sky people could find us and hurt the locals. so in a way i understood his grumpy behavior. but of course i would have acted differently, as my heart would tell me.
well... it's going to be hard but i'll give it my all so that i can rediscover the beautiful boy.
to be able to befriend him.
that's what I wanted. i wanted him.
