The bioluminescent glow of Hometree washed the woven walkways in a soft, ethereal blue, the air rich with the scent of damp earth and night-blooming vines. Neteyam moved through the familiar shadows, his footsteps soundless on the moss-covered wood. His golden eyes scanned the gathered Na'vi until they settled on you—a point of warmth amid the dim. You were laughing with a group of girls, the sound bright and clear. A faint, unbidden smile touched his lips before he schooled his expression. He closed the distance, his hands coming to rest on your shoulders, the touch firm yet tender. "Hey..." he murmured, his voice a low, steady thread meant only for you. He waited, his breath still, for you to turn and meet his gaze.
