Wings Amidst Na'vi

Chapter 03

Pursing his lips in contemplation, Jake exchanged a meaningful glance with Neytiri, silently acknowledging that they would need to discuss the situation further

"Alright (y/n), you stay here and rest for a bit. You kids, keep her company," Jake instructed as he and Neytiri exited the tent, leaving you alone with his two sons

Your ears drooped slightly as a soft sigh escape your lips, feeling a wave of anxiety wash over you. Jake and Neytiri still seemed somewhat suspicious of you, and you couldn't blame them at all. Afterall, it's not every day that a floppy-eared creature suddenly pops out of nowhere

Pondering the potential outcomes, a sense of dread crept into your heart. Would they keep you as some kind of captive? Would they be kind enough to let you stay? And the worst-case scenario..

You have no one here, no one to protect you. What if they decided to throw you out??

The moment you step into the forest, you have no doubt you would become a chew toy for the viper wolves, or even worse, the thanator

Lost in thought, a gentle poke on your ear jolted you back to reality. Startled, you turned to see Lo'ak's curious gaze, accompanied by a disapproving glance that Neteyam shot at his younger brother

Ah, you had momentarily forgotten that both brothers were still with you.

"I- uhm," At a loss for words, you could only stammer in response to Lo'ak's boldness

"Stop touching her Lo'ak!" Neteyam scolded, his voice stern, prompting Lo'ak to withdraw his hand as he murmured a small "sorry"

Observing their sibling banter, you felt a warm sensation envelop your chest. Witnessing your favorite characters' real-life interaction.. It was still quite unbelievable, especially after witnessing Neteyam's apparent demise on screen just the day before

'Hehe, they are so adorable! My eyes are blessed!' you thought to yourself, feeling grateful for the comforting presence the sibling brought to you

"I-it's okay! I-I don't mind it.." you managed to stutter out, giving Lo'ak a reassuring smile. "You can touch it if you want..."

Lo'ak's eyes lit up with excitement at the invitation. "You sure?" he eagerly asked, excitement evident in his widened eyes. Earning an affirming nod from you, he flashed a toothy grin, then sent Neteyam a smug look, earning a scoff in response

As Lo'ak gently strokes your ear, a murmur escaped his lips, "It's so fluffy and soft..." You couldn't help but smile in content, feeling the gentle brush of his fingers against your ears actually helping to calm down your racing heart. "Hehe, you think so?"

Neteyam watched as Lo'ak strokes (y/n)'s fluffy ears, noticing how mesmerized he is by the girl's ears. He shakes his head as he glances back at the furry ears being petted by his brother

Despite his initial annoyance, Neteyam found himself drawn to the softness of those soft-looking ears. With a mix of hesitation and curiosity, he mustered the courage to ask, "Can I touch it?" His voice held a hint of uncertainty as he stole a glance at (y/n) before quickly averting his gaze in embarrassment. He can't believe he just said that

"E-eh?" your ears perked up slightly at Neteyam's request, a hint of surprise coloring your expression. It was amusing how he had scolded his brother for the same thing just moments ago

Suppressing a giggle, you couldn't help but smile at their childish antics. 'How adorable! They are acting like little kids- oh! But they ARE technically still kids... they are around 15 after all,' you mused before warmly replying, "Of course!" you replied with enthusiasm, nodding in agreement
