Aneysa wakes up the next morning, finding herself with again, another headache, due to the tablets she had took the day before.

She feels her head spin as she sits up, finding herself facing a painting of a rose, with was framed just on top of a fire place.

"How is a guest room this fancy?" She asks herself and she scratches her head in confusion.

Aneysa suddenly remembers that she was holding onto her fathers journal.

She begins to panic, looking around her bed.

Aneysa then looks to the desk beside the bed, seeing a bag.

"What is that?" She whispers as she stood up and made her way to it.

Inside she found what Neteyam had bought her last night.

She smiles, knowing that it was him who bought it for her, because who else could it be?

Aneysa then sees her fathers journal right next to it.

She picks it up gently, and it's not longer loose.

Aneysa opens it as gently as she could, only to see that the backing of the book had been put back on.

She skims through the pages, seeing that Neteyam sellotape'd what was ripped, back on, with clear tape.

Aneysa smiles, almost feeling teary.

She couldn't believe he did all of this. For her.

Aneysa walks out the guest room, after brushing her teeth and freshening up.

She ties her hair up and walks out, only to see Neteyam right by the door step, looking as if he was about to knock.

"Oh hi" Aneysa says.

He smiles, awkwardly putting his hand down, "I was going to come and wake you. I didn't realise you were already up."

She nods, "it's okay."

He lets her walk past to go into the kitchen first.

Neteyam then follows behind her.

She doesn't mention anything about the journal yet. She chooses to wait until they could both be alone again.

"Aneysa good morning" Neytiri walks to her, "how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine really. Thankyou, again. For letting me stay here" Aneysa says.

"You are welcome here any time Aneysa. You are like family" Neytiri says to her.

Aneysa smiles before taking a seat.

Neteyam takes just one seat away from her.

"Are you guys not going to sit together?" Kiri asks as she walks in.

Aneysa looks to Neteyam and smiles, indicating that she's okay with it.

He smiles back at her.

"I never said smile at each other. I want my seat. And Neteyam has his bottom on it" Kiri says.

"Kiri, just sit" Neytiri says to her.

She rolls her eyes and sits down.

"I have made a whole feast today" Neytiri smiles as she walks to the table with two plates.

One with French toast stacked up, and the other with pancakes stacked up.

"This is not all" she runs back into the kitchen.

"How much did you make mother, this is already a lot" Kiri says.

She excitedly runs back, holding a tray of chocolate chip muffins.
