Summary
Ao'nung doesn't like anyone in that Omaticaya family. They're odd for one reason or another, and get on his nerves. But he's the most unsettled by Neteyam. He was used to rolling his eyes or being otherwise annoyed by the responsibilities that would sometime's come with being the son of the chief of the Metkayina, but coming face to face with Neteyam, another eldest son of much the same status, Ao'nung sees a reflection of himself except better. Someone who accepts the responsibilities he has, and is more than ready to take on more when the time comes. Even when being thrust into a new environment, surrounded by teasing and unfamiliar surroundings, he acts with a grace and dignity that Ao'nung can recognize he's never held once in his life. While thinking about the other members of the Suli family makes him angry, thinking of Neteyam just makes him sick.
"Aren't you embarassed? To be acting like this?"
The words ping-ponged through Ao'nung's head daily since Neteyam had said them to him. Unable to sort out any of his feelings on the other, Ao'nung tried to avoid him as much as possible.
Which isn't as much as he'd hoped.
