Avatar: Through His Eyes

A Talk

And now he needed another drink for that thought.

"Yeah, nice you two drinking pals go drunk but there is no way in hell am I letting you act like this, I'm pretty sure Neytiri too" Emersyn said with her arms crossed and staring at Jake with a disgusted look on her face. Jake sighed and the way he spoke caught Tsu'tey's attention "Oh Neytiri, my beloved Neytiri..." Jake slurred.

He should have been angry, shouting at Jake that Neytiri was already a claimed woman but he couldn't voice out the words because: One, he was drunk and saying such things with a clouded mind may cause a scene with the Na'vi enjoying themselves and...he could not seem to feel any anger or jealousy at Jake when he stated those words.

Because the words he would utter would be a lie.

"Yeah, let's get you to bed romeo before you do something stupid" Emersyn said before hoisting up a slouching Jake who began singing a tawtute song as the two of them stumbled towards interior of the Kelutral (Hometree). Tsu'tey frowned when he noticed Jake leaning a little bit too close from Emersyn before he mentally reminded themselves that they were siblings and he was angry at nothing.

He was suppose to return back to the party but when he spotted the familiar but blurry shape of Emersyn running towards him, his own body moved directly towards her path.

That resulted into her colliding with him.

"Aynga hum..(you leave..)"

"Why the heck are you out roaming around?! While drunk!"

Tsu'tey stopped and stared at her when she was busy tugging at him to the direction where the nivi (sleeping hammock) lay and wondered what had happened to her and her family. It was such a random thought but it did intrigue him. He quickly led her up on the spiral branches of the Kelutral (Hometree) to a secluded place that was hidden behind the vines and roots.

This place was where he and Silwanin would usually meet when one of them have problems to talk about and considered it their private area.

What exactly was he thinking again for bringing her here?

"Tell me about yourself"

Ah...that...

It was obvious the female didn't listen to him for she was busy looking above and around the area "What?" She asked in confusion "Peng oe teringeyä sì soaia (Tell me about your family)" He saw her shifting and showing signs of discomfort, clearly she didn't want to talk about her family but he was too far drunk and stubborn to back out.

"What do you want to know about them?"

"Jakesully says your sa'nok is a warrior and your sem'pul is a..singer"

She frowned at the words and he wondered if he'd said something wrong when she spoke "Yeah, mom was a great warrior of a native clan. She was actually suppose to marry the next chieftain of that clan" This was getting too familiar to him and he would normally back away from these things but this only urged him to ask more.

"What happened?"

Emersyn shrugged her shoulders but he saw her tense up before relaxing "All I know is that Dad and mom met when dad and a few of his followers stumbled upon their land. They met, mom gave dad a hard time and as time passes they fell in love"

"What happened to the man who was destined to be your mother's mate?" Again, the female shrugged and Tsu'tey wondered if it is a common tawtute thing "Mom never told us who he was or never told us what happened to him but she did say he never bothered them again" That confused Tsu'tey 

"Again?"

How could a male advance on a taken female? 

"It's personal"

Emersyn said, wanting to stop talking about her family and its personal problems and Tsu'tey relented, knowing that asking for more might anger her and force her to walk away. They both watched the stars in silence while the sound of laughing Na'vi echoed in the background. Tsu'tey felt slightly a bit relieved that he knew the female a little bit more about her past and herself.

"What's gonna happen tomorrow Tsu'tey?" Emersyn asked all of a sudden and it took a moment for Tsu'tey to realize she was asking about tomorrow "To finally become one of the people, you must complete the Dream Hunt" Confusion was etched onto Emersyn's face "A Dream What? You're going to hunt in your dream?"

Tsu'tey had to chuckle slightly at the bluntness of Emersyn's tone "You will get to meet your spirit animal. All Na'vi people has a spirit animal" Emersyn took his words with interest as she nodded "Um...what happens in the Dream Hunt?" She asked again.

"You will have to eat a glowworm-"

"YUCK!"

Tsu'tey glared at her for interrupting before he continued on "And this will take you to a place where you will meet your spirit animal"

A yawn beside him made him look at Emersyn before she laid her head on his shoulder "Tired?" He received no answer. Sooner or later he would have to drop her back to her nivi (sleeping hammock) but for now, let him have a few more moments like this.
