"How did you get into another fight. Again?" Neteyam sighs as he's stood up, cleaning up the blood from Aneysa's nose.
"She hit me. Did you expect me to stand back and let her?" Aneysa asks.
"I expect you to be the bigger person" Neteyam says.
She scoffs and moves his hand away from her, "okay. Next time someone stabs me in my stomach, I'll be the bigger person and stand still."
"Aneysa you know that's not what I mean" Neteyam says.
"Really? Very much sounds like you'd want me to get beat up" Aneysa replies.
"She was not worth it to begin with. Why would you make it worse for yourself and cause even more problems?" Neteyam asks.
"I don't know Neteyam. Maybe because my whole life has been me, trying to defend myself because no one else ever did. Never knew it made me a monster" she rolled her eyes and tried to walk away from him.
Neteyam pulls her back in front of him, "don't walk away from me."
She stood in front of him, looking away as she sulked.
Neteyam sighed, cupping onto Aneysa's cheek, "Aneysa.."
"What" she replied, as he eyes blinked repeatedly, trying to avoid looking at him.
He smiles at her, tilting his head, "you're not going to look at me?"
"No" she replies.
"Aneysa. I'm not saying you're a monster. You're allowed to defend yourself, by all means. I will always be beside you when you do. But there's no need to waste your energy on a woman like that. Especially Ethan's girlfriend" Neteyam says.
"Ok" Aneysa replies.
Neteyam sighs, "Aneysa Renrawin. Stop sulking.. you look too cute."
She continues to sulk, looking away from him.
"Stop" he says to her.
She shakes her head no, moving away from him.
"Aneysa" he holds onto her hand.
She moves it away and turns around.
Aneysa blinks again a couple of times, trying her best not to let her emotions get to her.
"Are you upset with me?" He asks.
She sighs, and turns back to look at him and smiles, "no. I'm not."
"Aneysa-"
"You're right. I should be the bigger person so I'll apologise. To Ethan and his girlfriend. If that is what makes you happy" she smiles.
Before he could speak, Jamie barges through the door.
"Dr.Sully!" Jamie shouts and then stops when he realises Aneysa is also there.
"Oh sorry-"
"What happened? What is it?" Neteyam asks.
"It's your brother. Lo'ak. He's waking up!" Jamie shouts.
Aneysa walks out first, trying to avoid Neteyam but also, not believing what she just heard.
"Wait?.. are you sure of this?" Neteyam asks.
Jamie nods, "Come on!"
Aneysa runs into Lo'aks' room, seeing Jake standing there, smiling.
"What happened? What's going on?" Aneysa asks, walking in.
