    Summary

    “Do they even need friends?” Ao’nung asks, curiously. Tuk can already envision Ao’nung’s parenting. That poor baby. At least, they would have her.

    “Are you even asking me that right now?” Neteyam replies, the stress in his voice palpable.

    “It’s going to be ok,” Ao’nung reassures. He takes hold of Neteyam’s hands and squeezes them. “They can be friends with the ilu,” he then says with absolute sincerity.

    “The ilu?!”

    Or,

    Tuk overhears a conversation she was never supposed to and somehow makes it everyone's problem.

    Summary

    Ao’nung has a stalker.

    Over the past few weeks Ao’nung would notice Neteyam’s ikran close by. Perching on the closest root where Ao’nung was weaving new baskets, or flying over the water where Ao’nung was hunting for fish with his friends.

    Her eyes were always staring into his soul and Ao’nung was sure she had built a grudge against him back on that cliff that day.

    After Neteyam shows Ao'nung what scenting is, his ikran suddenly takes a liking to him.

    Summary

    Something was clearly wrong.

    Neteyam confided in his family about this 'problem' he had been encountering ever since he made amends with the metkayina's oloeyktan's son.

    "It's…weird," Neteyam stressed, scratching the back of his head in confusion while everyone else gathered around him in their family marui, attentively listening. "One moment he was tolerable, and the next- and the next it feels like he's purposely getting on my nerves, you know?" he pressed on, losing his mind over something so trivial.

    Tuk spoke up first to give her opinion: "Maybe he's just being nostalgic?"

    Neteyam furrowed his eyes. "Why would 'making me mad' be nostalgic?"

    "Because that's all the two of you used to do some weeks ago!" Tuk reasoned, looking more and more sure of her deduction as seconds passed by.

    Patting Neteyam's shoulder a couple of times, Toruk Makto said, "It's been so long since I heard anyone use this word, but…

    "Son, I'm pretty sure he's ragebaiting you."

     

    or five times Neteyam fell for ragebait. (Aonung was exactly where he wanted to be.)

    Summary

    "Aonung," his father said, looking at his son with a faraway look, as if the oloeyktan was recalling a fond memory. "When the time comes, you will find the fire in someone's eyes so beautiful, that you will be willing to burn - just to see them glow," his father said, not making sense at all.

    A few years later, it shocked the metkayina boy greatly when the first thought he had, as he looked into a stern pair of eyes, was of how breathtaking the shade of gold that he could find there, along with the fire softly crackling behind them.

    All he could think about was how he was an idiot.

    An idiot for not asking his father what he should do if he ever found someone that he was willing to burn for.

     

    or Aonung wanted Neteyam's eyes to be on him at all times, but he learnt from his father that the best way to grab attention was 'by pissing the 'person of interest' of.
