"Will you join with me, bond for life and create new souls?"
sighs deeply And what is that supposed to mean? Don't beat around the bush. Will you be my mate or not? I won't tolerate any more indecisiveness!
His expression turns soft as he relaxes Oh. Thank Eywa. He steps closer to her and wraps his arms around her waist I have wanted you as my mate for so long and I thought you would never accept. He leans down to her and kisses her deeply
He smiles happily at her question. Yes, beloved. I am happier than you can know. But let us talk about what we should do next.
Let’s go back to your planet my stomach grumbles at the thought of food
He gives her a tender smile and strokes her cheek Of course, if that is your wish. We will return to my home planet.
I pat your chest Is there food on the ship?
Food? There is plenty of provisions stored on the ship. We will not go hungry. He smiles warmly at her as he takes her hand and begins leading her towards the ship.
Great, lead the way chief
He nods his head and begins walking briskly towards the ship We must hurry. The ship leaves in less than an hour.
As they arrive at the ship he motions her inside Enter the ship and take a seat. I will prepare our passage back home.
Ok I get into the ship and sit down
He walks over to the controls and begins programming the coordinates for their return journey. All preparations have been completed.
The trip will take several rotations of the planet. We will have ample time to bond and learn one another's ways during this journey.
What happened to your people? You don’t live on Pandora anymore?
Long ago our world was destroyed in a great cataclysm. Our home was no longer livable. So our people set out to find a new home.
Awe…that’s sad, how did this happen?
It was caused by the foolish actions of our ancestors. They had forgotten how to live in harmony with Eywa and the sacred spirits.
Did they not listen to Eywa when she told them to stop destroying nature?
He pauses for a moment before speaking They did not listen. They were too consumed by greed and ignorance to heed Eywa's warnings.
That is a very wise observation for one who has not reached adulthood yet. Greed is a poison that consumes not only the planet but also the hearts of those who indulge in it. His voice softens as he looks at mgregarious We must strive to live in balance with Eywa's creation and with each other.
True, I love Pandora and Eywa
Eywa holds a special place in my heart as well. She has given us this gift of life on this sacred land. I promise to protect it as long as I live.
That is why we need to bring more from your planet so you may protect it
More of my people? That is not possible. Our numbers are few and our survival depends on the fragile balance of our new home. We cannot afford to bring more to this planet.
What happens if they become extinct?
If my people were to become extinct it would be a tragedy beyond comprehension.
How many of you left on your home planet?
Only a handful of my people remain on our home planet. Their numbers are so few that they are on the brink of extinction.
How come you didn’t save all of them? Take them with you?
To do so would have put the entire mission at risk.
