Aneysa walks downstairs, holding onto Lo'ak's jacket.
"Well he's asleep" Aneysa says.
"I don't think he's allowed to be drinking. He's not 21 yet is he?" Gorya asks.
"Well, you know. Nowadays kids like to drink when they're upset" Aneysa replies.
"Did something happen?" Gorya was concerned about Lo'ak.
"From what he said to me, I'm guessing his father is to blame. He's not very nice to Lo'ak" Aneysa says, "that's why he didn't want to go home so I bought him here."
"We do not have any green tea bags left. What will we give him when he wakes up?" Gorya asks.
"I can go out quickly and buy some" Aneysa says.
She feels Lo'ak's jacket vibrate.
Aneysa puts her hand into his jacket pocket finding his phone.
"Bro. Thirteen missed calls" She reads out.
It vibrates again.
"Oh he's calling again" Aneysa picks up.
"Hello-"
"Lo'ak what the hell! Where are you? I've been calling and calling. You've just disappeared and mothers worried sick about you."
"Um hi."
"Who is this? Where's Lo'ak?"
"Im Lo'ak's friend. Aneysa."
"I don't care about your name. Where's Lo'ak? Give him his phone!"
Aneysa moves the phone away for a second, looking at Gorya.
"He's so fucking rude!" She whispers.
She brings the phone back to her ear.
"Lo'ak can't come to the phone right now."
"Why?"
"He's drunk."
"What?"
"He. Is. Drunk."
"Lo'ak doesn't drink. That's impossible. He's not even of legal age."
Aneysa rolls her eyes.
"Look, I don't know about whether he drinks or not. But he called me and I found him and bought him home. Maybe you should speak to your father about what he tells Lo'ak."
"You should have bought him home."
"Maybe you should just come here and we will talk about it because I have no time speaking over the phone."
"Fine."
"Great!"
Aneysa gives Neteyam her address and ends the call.
She hangs up Lo'ak's jacket and then looks at her mother.
"I'll be back" she says and leaves the house.
-
Neteyam arrives outside Aneysa's house.
"This must be the house right?" He says as he's looking at his satnav and back outside.
He sighs, "right. I've gotta apologise for the way I spoke to her. It's not her fault Lo'ak is just reckless."
He takes his wallet and phone, putting it into his jacket pocket before walking out his car.
Neteyam closes the car door behind him, locking it with his key and walking towards the house door.
"Well here goes nothing" he whispers and knocks on the door.
"Be right there!" Gorya calls out.
"That sounds like Gorya?" Neteyam says to himself.
He hears her unlock the door from inside before opening it.
"Neteyam?" She looks at him confused as he's at her doorstep.
"Gorya?" Neteyam looks back at her.
"What are you doing here?" Gorya asks.
"I must be at the wrong house. My brother is currently drunk in his friends house. I thought this was the address but maybe I'm wrong" Neteyam says.
