Chapter 12.

(This is the skirts, I know I didn't descride the pearls on the skirts, but you could add them to your outfit as well, if you would like)

(+ you are free to change the hairstyle if you would like! Won't post a pic, so I can leave that for your imagination)

You lightly fidget with the pearled bracelet on your wrist, suddenly feeling a hand on your shoulder.

Your attention from the crowd is shifted to the person behind you- Jìekai.

"This is the second time you sneak up on me today." You say as you brush his hand off your shoulders, as gently as you could.

"What do you mean 'sneak up'." Jìekai laughs.

"The first time, I was with Netty and the second is now." you place your hands on your hips and sway your hip to your right.

You saw his eyes flick to your hips and then back up.

"Netty?" he repeats, "That is his name?"

"No-" you scoff, "I call him that. His name is Neteyam" you answer.

He hums.

"He seems a bit..." he starts as he shakes his head side to side slightly, looking for a word.

You raise your brow bone, waiting for him to continue.

"Assertive."

"Assertive?" you choke out. Was he for real right now?

"You think he is possessive?" you specify, to make sure you heard him right.

"I saw the way he looked at you." he crossed his arms.

"Listen Kai, you don't know him. You never talked to him"

"He never came up to me." he pressed.

"And who would want to do that?" you shoot back.

"Have you seen yourself?" you murmur the last part to yourself.

He looked away for a second before looking back at you.

"Kai, I don't want to argue right now, not today." you look at him, almost pleading him with your eyes.

"Sorry- sorry. I don't want to argue either. Not with you."

You nod.

"Sorry, I just- want to protect you." he says as he brings his hands up to his neck and gently rubs it, "You know, after what happened..." his words get lost as he looks back at you.

You smile.

"It's okay. You know I can beat anyone's ass if I wanted to. Including yours.'' you laugh.

He only hummed a sassy 'mhm' in response.

Promptly the third horn filled the air. The show was beginning.

"-Now I may present to you, our dancers!" the old Na'vi acclaimed as she moved off the stage.

The crowd cheered as soon as the female dancers made their way on the stage in a line. You swayed your hips as you strode to the center. Turning your body towards the people, you quickly glance to your right, Efràa smiling to you. There were three girls on your right, including Efràa, and three on your left, you were dead center. You slowly bring your arms up and keep them above your head as you smile towards the audience, the girls doing the same.

You search the crowd for familiar faces. You see some of your friends, smiling and waving their hands at you. In the front row seats you see the chief's family. Ronal and Tsireya had a smile on their faces as they looked at the female dancers, standing still waiting for the music to begin. Tonowari was whispering to a male Na'vi beside him, "The one in the middle is my daughter." you heard him whisper proudly.
