They were all taking deep and long breaths, trying to even out their breathing as well as following Tsireya and Rotxo who were demonstrating.

Suddenly Tsireya learned to Lo'ak and put her hands on his chest and stomach.

"Breathe through here," she said softly.

He took a deep breath and then he looked down at her and she looked up at him.

"Lo'ak," she began, "your heartbeat is fast."

"Sorry." he quickly apologized.

You exchanged glances with everyone in the circle, Rotxo and Neteyam were fully aware of what was happening and smirked as well. Kiri on the other hand was not having it, and she just rolled her eyes.

Neteyam called your name to get your attention, "Can you help with my breathing too?" he said as a joke, wearing a giant smug look on his face, clearly to mock the two lovebirds.

You chuckled as you heard Lo'ak groan quietly, in slight disappointment for you guys ruining the moment between him and your sister.

You got up and walked over to Neteyam, who moved back a bit to give you space to sit.

"Well," you began, as you sat down beside him on his left, "What do you need help with specifically?"

"I'm having trouble understanding how we are supposed to breathe like that" he said and you nodded.

"Okay, well," you took your left hand and put it on your stomach, "you are supposed to use your stomach to help you breath," you put your right hand on your chest, "breathing deeply, you need to feel the air going through your lungs" You look at him.

He raised his hand up and removed your hands carefully from your stomach and chest as he replaced them with his own.

"Can you demonstrate?" he asked with a smirk.

You look him in the eye, and then down at his hands on your body.

"I'm a visual learner" he simply said.

That fucker.

"Of course" you reply, closing your eyes and focusing on your breathing. You breath in deep and slow through your nose, and you feel his hands move with your body doing so. You then hold your breath for a few seconds and then exhale through your mouth, you breath in and out a couple more times. You then open your eyes and look at him to find his staring right back at you.

"If you're done touching me, you can try it out for yourself." You say, a smirk forming on your face as he removes his hands from you as well as rolling his eyes.

He sat straight and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath in, held it for a few seconds and breathed out. Opening one eye, he looks at you, to make sure he did it right.

Now it was your turn to touch him. You raise your right hand and place it on his chest, as you bring your left hand and put it on his stomach, "Again." you whisper. He closed his eyes.

He did it again, again and again. But the only thing you could focus on was the way his skin felt against yours, the way he breathes, his fast heartbeat and his body. His body.

Shaking your head slightly, you look up to take a closer look at his face, to distract yourself from thinking what underneath his loincloth-

As you were looking at his face, he suddenly opened his eyes.

You jump back slightly, but still your hands are on his body.

Your name was called by Tuk, "Can you help me too!"

"Of course Tuk," you say as you remove your hands from the darker Na'vi, "I hope you learned something, Netty " you say teasingly while standing up.

He just smiled and looked down at the ground from the embarrassing nickname.

You walk over to the youngest Sully kid, and started chatting with her and helping her. Neteyam couldn't help but cast his gaze at you and your figure.

"Okay, that should be enough for the first day" Tsireya announced as you all agreed.

"Did you guys have fun?" you ask, looking at the group.

"I guess," Tuk answered, "But it was also boring! When can we go swimming again?"

You smirked, wasn't she the girl scared to go into the water?

"How about we teach them how to ride Ilu's?" you look over to Rotxo who gave the idea.

"Isn't it a bit too soon?" you look at the Sully's.

"Hey come on," Neteyam stepped in, "we can handle it"

"I am sure that the second you will get on that Ilu, you will fall off" you utter.

"Are you making a bet?" he smirked as he got closer to you.

"Possibly" you murmur, arms crossed over your chest.

"I'm with her on this one," Ao'nung stepped in, "they won't be able to handle it." 

Your brother then put an arm around your shoulder and glanced at Neteyam, who just backed away a bit.

"We will see about that" Lo'ak joined in.

"Okay, you know what," you said because you didn't want this to turn into a fight, "We will try tomorrow. We call it quits today and go to bed and tomorrow, early in the morning after we are done with morning chores," you look over to Tsireya and Ao'nung, "We will meet you guys here?" You look at the group as they nod in agreement.

"I thought they are our 'new responsibility' " Ao'nung exaggerated on the 'new responsibility' bit.

''Yes Ao'nung," you look at the forest people, "they are, but that's the only thing that changed, we still have to help the village. And do our morning chores" you say as you push him slightly.

Everyone chucked and started walking towards their huts.

Looking up to the dark sky, you think back to the conversation you had with Tsireya the other day. You smiled to yourself as you realized that indeed today was just as fun as yesterday.
