Ma'oare (Neteyam x Aonung)

}Chapter 18{

Third person POV.

*This starts off after Lo'ak formed a tsaheylu with Paykan* 

"You allowed this! You allowed HIM! to bond with the outcast," said Ronal in disappointment and anger. The group all stood there agitated and ready for the scolding especially Tsireya, she was the most scared out of the group. Her father approached her with the look of disappointment,

"You disappoint me daughter," he said, Tsireya drooped her head in shame and hurt by such words. Tonowari now looked to the whole group scolding them and later commanded them to sit down. He started to tell tales of the first Tulkuns and their war which was made at peace by promises, and it was such promises that led the said Tulkun to be cast out of herds as he had broken the promise. Lo'ak had heard this and understood the promise yet he believed that the promise was unfair and unjust to his new found spirit brother,

"I'm sorry sir, but Payakan is not a killer," saying this caused a series of reaction, Neytiri was surprised by her sons protest. The huntress of a mother had felt that Lo'ak might have some understanding of the creature through the bond but Tonowari was a Olo'eyktan, to protest forwardly as such was a disrespectful action,

"Lo'ak! he is the Olo'eyktan," she said by his side in worry that this action might lead him to a harsh punishment or worse. Lo'ak knew that none of them would listen so he was about to add on and explain when his father stepped in,

"Enough!" he said in anger of his sons action. He gripped on to  Lo'aks arm and dragged him away before he could say any other thing further. The group just sat in silence while the present adults had a serious of reactions, Neytiri was of worry, Ronal was of surprise while Tonowari was of growing anger and surprise. 

"Such disrespect," said Ronal in disappointment.

Neytiri quickly stepped forward,

"Olo'eyktan, Tsahik I vouch for my sons action, please be merciful and forgive of him of his rude action," saying this she bowed her head slightly.

 Aonung and Tsireya was watching their parents cautious of their behavior, they saw their mother who wavered at the Sullys female words she also looked to their father. Tonowari on the other hand had a strained expression but feeling his mates gaze he looked to her and they started to converse with their eyes. Seeing this the two relaxed a bit, thou it wasn't the right time to think of such thoughts Aonung couldn't help but think,

'Would i and Neteyam do this too?' thinking this he looked to the said Na'vi and was taken aback by Neteyams slight hostile gaze towards his sister than the gaze shifted to him. Aonung looked at him in question but Neteyam rolled his eyes slightly and looked away to his parents direction. From there Aonung caught on, could it be that Neteyam blames them for the events earlier?

The teal Na'vi wasn't gonna let him be mad so he reached out to Neteyam in discreet and his touch made the lean Na'vi look to him. Aonung gave him a gaze as if to say 'Really,' Neteyam gave him a nonchalant expression and looked away. Aonung could understand where Neteyam was coming from but he still couldn't help feeling mad at Neteyam for his attitude. The two clan leaders dismissed the small gathering. Neteyam seemed to have calmed down from earlier and was a bit reluctant to leave, he discreetly glanced to Aonung in warry. Aonung caught his glance and Aonung smiled softly at him and returned the smile as if to say sorry and like that they parted. The Metkayina family went to their pod where their got an ear full from Ronal while their father just sat in silence and looking at the two. Aonung sighed softly as he tried to compose his thoughts during this time and so he waited for the right to speak then he spoke out,

"Father. Mother," saying this to catch their attention he continued, "I know what we did was wrong we are sorry and we will take any punishment," Tonowari and Ronal looked to their son as if they expected this.
