Walking out you heard a faint praising of the hut made by Toruk Makto and a drop of something heavy.

Walking further away, you also felt someone looking at you. Looking back you saw the older brother staring at you.

"You have a staring problem?" Stopping in your tracks you yell to him.

You saw him chuckle and waved you on.

Looking away, you smile a bit. This is going to be fun.

Later today, you were supposed to meet the newcomers' kids at the water, to start teaching them the basics for.. everything. You wanted to get to know them better since you were interested in their story, and maybe you can relate to some things with them since you all have 5 fingers and were considered 'not true Na'vi'. And maybe, you wanted to know a certain stranger a bit better.

"Is it too late to back out?" A voice to your right called. You look over and slightly shove Ao'nung.

"Yes brother" answered Tsireya, who was on your left. She wanted to add something else but stoped and smiled when she saw the 4 siblings in the water already, not too deep. The water was about to their hips, well not considering the little one, she was clinging to the older brother, who tried his best to comfort her.

Coming closer to the newcomers, you got your words together.

"Hello there" you smile.

The siblings turn to look at you guys walking in the water towards them.

They all greeted you guys with their versions of 'Hello's' and 'Hi's'.

Awkwardness overcame all 7 of you.

"Well," you cleared your voice.

"Let's start with name's"

"Right" Tsireya agreed as she looked at the 4 siblings.

They all stayed quiet for a bit, until the oldest brother started speaking.

His voice was.. alluring in some way? Made you want to listen to him talk more.

"That over there is Kiri," he pointed to his sister as she looked down to the water. You reached to shake her hand out of habit. 

When you were younger, you remembered watching your mother do this to any new Na'vi she met. She said it was a form of respect, so you do this gesture too.

She looked at your hand, and slightly widened her eyes.

Shit.

You forgot about that.

Looking at her face and then at your hand then back to her face, it became quiet. The whole group was staring at your hand.

Well double shit.

You started to draw your hand back until she slowly reached for it and shook it.

"Nice to meet you Kiri" you say as you look to the next sibling.

"That is Lo'ak"

You reached for his hand, "Lo'ayk?" you clarified.

"Lo'ak" he corrected as he shook your hand.

"Lo'ak" you made sure to say it right this time. He tried to let go of your hand but you instead held it tighter and leaned forward a bit.

"You look at Tsireya like that again," you whispered so low only he could hear you, "I'll beat you up."
