"Oh my child" Mo'at moves Lo'ak away, cupping onto both his cheeks as she wipes his tears away with her thumbs.
"How are you even here? When?.."
"Aneysa called me here. She booked me a flight so I could see you for your birthday" Mo'at smiles at him.
Lo'ak looks to Aneysa.
"Happy birthday Lo'ak" she smiles at him.
He hugs Aneysa too, "this is the best gift yet."
Aneysa laughs, hugging him back, "I am glad you like it. You deserve to be happy Lo'ak. Always."
They share a tight hug, as he moves from side to side, moving Aneysa along with him.
"Ahh Lo'ak, you're going to make me cry. Stop it" Aneysa says, pulling away from the hug.
She wipes his eyes, "enjoy today."
He nods.
"Well, let's get this party started!" Kiri shouts, making her way inside the tent.
"I can't believe this" Lo'ak smiles, "it's like being in England with grandma all over again!"
His inner child coming out makes Tsireya looks at him in awe, as she holds onto his arm, "you're really a granny's boy."
Lo'ak nods, before him and Tsireya walk in.
"Did someone say there was a party?" They hear a familiar voice.
"Oh god.." Aneysa whispers as her and Neteyam both turn around.
Aneysa puts on a fake smile, "Athena! What are you doing here?"
Athena was stood next to her brother Klaus.
"Mrs.Sully invited us actually" Athena replied.
"Oh Athena, you're here" Neytiri smiles and walks to them.
"Mother why did you invite them?" Neteyam whispers to her.
"She said that she was in town for a couple of weeks I thought you might want to catch up.. do you guys not talk to each other anymore?" Neytiri asks, looking innocently confused.
"You can't be mad at her. She doesn't know" Aneysa looks at Neteyam, who clearly didn't want Athena there.
"I bought brownies" Athena smiles.
"I'll take those" Aneysa takes the box of her.
"They're for Lo'ak" Athena says.
"I know. I'm putting them to the side" Aneysa walks off.
"So, will you and Aneysa be coming to my party?" Athena asks Neteyam.
"What party?" Neteyam asks.
"The one Klaus invited you guys to. I'm holding a party in my club. Tonight" Athena says.
"I don't-"
"Yes we'll be there. Love and Aonung will be there too" Aneysa says.
"Aneysa" Neteyam looks at her.
"Excuse us a moment, I need to talk to my boyfriend" she pulls him away from Athena.
"Aneysa I really don't want to" Neteyam complains.
"Pleaseeee. I really want to go" Aneysa says.
"But why? We can go to any club, why does it have to be hers?" Neteyam asks.
"Because" Aneysa puts her arms around his shoulders slowly, "I just want to show her you belong to me."
"Oh. Is that what it is?" Neteyam asks, tilting his head.
