Avatar: Through His Eyes

A Na'vi Duty

If there was one thing Tsu'tey knew: Duty before the Heart. He had learned this when he was a kid and had lost the chance to find himself a mate that he could want when he grew up.

Now, he was regretting that lesson as he and his student sat on a branch of a tree with enough privacy and seclusion.

"Kaltxì..."

"Kalti..."

"Kaltxì!"

"Kaltxì"

Tsu'tey sighed with relief. It was embarrassing enough for him to let her ride the pa'li which ended up with her face first on the ground and his comrades laughing.

By Eywa, it was almost as if he was teaching a 3 year old Na'vi child than an adult.

"Tsmukan"

"Tsukan..."

"Tsmukan!"

"Tsmucan..!"

Whack!

"Learn fast or we are going nowhere!"

Emmersyn glared at him "Not my fault your language is complex" Tsu'tey quirked a brow "Yet you Sky People made many languages in your home" He grinned in satisfaction when she gaped at him.

"Fair point..."

"You are doing your mistakes again! Just when I thought you made progress! Skxawng!"

She glared at him with a slight pout in her lips as she spat out her words.

"I just got used to the feeling of my arms being in a weird position than before. Give me time to get used to the new one Skxawng"

Apparently, that word was the only thing she got it right in the language lesson.

"Ow!"

She flinched when she landed once again face first on the mud as the pa'li trotted back to grazing on the flowers with it's snake like tongue.

"Do it again"

Tsu'tey said from where he is sitting on top of a pa'li. Emmersyn glared at him "Sorry for not being so much of a horse rider" Tsu'rey rolled his eyes at that word.

"You feel what she feels. You think where to go, she follows. They are like companions, always listening to you and follow whatever you want them to do"

Seemed simple enough for Emmersyn but it is a whole lot complicated in doing it.

"On the bright side, I stayed there for 20 seconds"

"Skxawng, it was merely 10 to me"

Tsu'tey watched her as she carefully clambered from one tree to another all while he was waiting for nearly about 15 minutes since they started.

"Whew...finished!"

Emmersyn exclaimed joyfully as if she had finished an impossible task "A child could do better than your skills in moving around the forest" Emersyn glowered at him.

"A child can not do-"

She was interrupted when one of the Na'vi children came running by on top of the branches, playing predator and waved in greeting to Tsu'tey before disappearing into the thick leaves.

"Na'vi and their athletic bodies..."

Emmersyn cursed and Tsu'tey grinned at her look of disbelief and scowl mixed in one.
