The sun beat hot over the Jungles of Pandora. The planets' creature ran about, either for food or to play around a bit. It was a great day for it too. The ground was moist and cool, yet the air was dry and warm, comparable to Old Earth's season, Spring.
Yet Ack'chei still studied and meditated, always working to get a better understanding of the world around him. He sat with his feet cross on the soft ground, about ten miles outside of Hometree. His tail flicked side to side as he meditated, his long brown braid in the back of his short, messy hair, attached to tree that seemed to glow purple a bit.
He felt everything the tree felt. The bugs, the wind, the buds falling over the branches, the creature inhabiting it and the tremors of someone else approaching. He wondered if it was another Na'vi, or perhaps a Damn Dreamwalker. However, he wasn't going to stop studying if it was a Dreamwalker or a Human.

Ty'e'ca waked around the forest a little to close to the 'Hometree' then she liked but it was the only play she knew of where the fruit that reminded her a lot of a human furit the dragongfruit grew. She wanted to collect a few for now and also latter, they were after all her favorite food here. She had no idea Ack'chei was in the area of the tree as well or she would have been more quiet. The thing about the tree in witch the fruit grew, it didn't like giving them up at all. There was always a fight involved. She had see many Na'vi easily take the fruit before but had no idea how they did it but wasn't going to ask.
Stupid tree give it up already! I'm hungry!
One thing about being so young was the height issue and the tree seemed to know it as well....

The tremors of another continued to rattle the Na'vi's concentration. He tried to focus, but when something began to fight with a tree, Chei stood.
He ran briskly to the tree and pushed the girl hard away from it. He then rubbed the tree a bit, calming it down.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO IT!" Ark'chei shouted, a tidbit irked. He hated when people disrespected nature. He took a look and one of the sagging branches and gently twisted off the fruit and tossed it to the girl. "You mustn't hurt the forest! What would you do if I came up and ripped off your ear!" The Seer said. He stroked the tree, whispering to it apologizes.

The moment she heard running she turned, a little to late. She saw a Na'vi male run right up to her and before she could react he pushed her and she stumbled to the ground. She wanted to run, she really did but her feet didn't listen to her.
When she was yelled at her eyes went wide and she just looked at him. She caught the fruit and looked down at it.
I was only yelling at the stupid thing, if anything it hurt me... Waked me right in the head...
She stood up and debated running but his next words bugged her
Try it I dare you to, you wont be standing with a tail long if ya did
She huffed at the tree and took a big bit from the fruit as if taunting it. Well that was one down 3 to go, well at least she hoped for three more...

"Calm Yourself! You will upset him.." Chei said, referring to the large fruit tree he was trying to calm down. The tree finally reset itself, and it return, dropped close to a dozen of it's dragonfruit-tasting treats from it's higer branches. The Seer collected them, thanked the tree and knelt in front of the girl, one knee on Pandora's soft soil.
The Seer smiled, and placed the fruit at her feet, then stood up, gently placing two of his fingers on her forehead.
"You still have much to learn, even if you are no longer a Dreamwalker. I can teach you. My name is Ack'chei, the Seer..." He said, with a comforting smile.

She rolled her eyes and took another bit from the fruit.
There clam happy...
She watched as he collected the fruit and backed away a step wide eyed as he knelt down in front of her with it. With human natives way back when the males always gave an offering like this for marriage, and in later years they knelt down on one knee with a ring. To her this kinda looked like the same thing. She looked at him oddly and back away another step as he touched her head. God she wish she knew more about Na'vi and if this meant what she thought.
Yeah, umm no.... I bet your a real nice guy and all Ack'chei but... yeah...no

"Fair enough, though I teach most the Dreamwalkers around Hometree." He said, walking away. If she didn't not want to be bothered, that was fine with him, though she would fit in a bit if se did listen.
The soft cool soil felt nice on his feet as he walked away, even but only his footprints and a pile of fruit in his wake. Maybe she would change her mind and catch up, maybe not. Not his problem, he had others to teach.

I'm not a Deamwalker
She looked at him confused. Very confused. She picked up the fruit and quickly put it in her bag running up to him
Hey wait!
She shifted her bag and looked at him for a moment
How did you? Why did it just give you the stuff. It just hit me even if I'm not going for fruit...

"Though you used to be a Dreamwalker... As for the fruit," Chei said, pointing to a branch on the tree that was drooping. "Think of each of those branches as a finger, and the flower or fruit at the end as a fignernail. You can take the really big ones off, because they hurt it, but the small ones only hurt if you try and rip them off. It hit you because it sensed that you were just gonna go in for on."
Ack'chei smiled and motioned for the girl to follow him. "Why don't you come back to Hometree, I believe a Home would be a nice change, agreed?"

She looked down at the fruit for a moment. Ok that kinda worked. She ate the rest of the fruit and looked at him. She flowed along side him for a moment runing her hands over branches to make them light up. She stopped at the word home
I can't... I do not belong there
She didn't belong with the Na'vi or the humans. They all made sure of that.

"And do you belong with the Humans, or by yourself! You are being too hard on yourself, and I suggest you stop. Soon enough, you will wish you had a group of people, I don't belong there yet I cope. I don't fit in at all, but I benefit off of them, and they benefit off of me. That's it. I don't even have a family there.' He started. Chei knew that the girl was being a fool, and that soon enough, she would regret it.
He pull his bag off of his back and took out an herb paste he had made.
"Regardless of joining me or not, I want you to have this, it will make any wounds you take close faster if you rub it on." Ack'chei said, beginning to walk futher away from the tree into the forest. "And if you ever need to know anything more about the Na'vi, come and see me. It's better to know than to go on a guess."

She just rolled her eyes at him
Do not act as if you are going through that same thing. I have a family and you the Na'vi made sure I could never see them again.
She walked next to him for a moment.
Tell me do the Na'vi look at you oddly, shy away because your people killed your hometree, took life from you for rocks. Do they whisper and stair because you and not what you seem to be, because you were once a pathetic, sick human and now taint the Na'vi race. The do to me
She stopped and took the solvent then turned to walk away.
Do children call you a monster

"Those Na'vi don't understand you. And I am not acting as If I am like you, or that I know you. We are all individuals born under Eywa. And do children call me a monster, yes they do." He said. He showed the girl her back, wretched and torn, gross dis-figuration of skin, indents mountains and swirls.
"Your people did this to me, your people destroyed what I knew and yet do I blame you. I do not. I am a Seer, not a grudge-holder. Anyone who talks to you they way you describe can talk to me and I will talk some sense into they because they are straying from their morals." He said. Ack'chei moved closer to her and put a and on her shoulder.
"Rejecting one because of their past is not in my mind. If you do not want my help, so me it, but I do suggest you find and talk to Sholto, the Head of the Dreamwalkers, he might be able to patch up some of your questions."

Sitting on a fallen branch Sen’ri was just finishing up her lunch as she noticed the two exchanging words. Quietly she lets herself slip down to the soft ground before wandering over to the two nodding a quick hello to her clansmen.
“so dis is the lost one?” said her sharp eyes darting over the girl. “she giving you trouble?” said with a big of a growl directed at Ty'e'ca.

"Ahh Sen'ri... I did not notice you there, sister.." The Seer said, in perfect Na'vi. Sen'ri seemed pretty cool, but Hunters scared him, due to their ability to mane without a thought.
"She is no trouble, I figured we should give her some food." He started with Sen'ri. Ack'chei had views that only the highest of Seers had. Anyone else would not do the same for Ty'e'ca he would. "I'd like to give her someone If that is ok with you, Hunter." He asked, which was repectful for the food-finders of the village.
