So'lek had grown used to hunting alone, ever since his clan had been decimated by the humans. He had little patience for outsiders, especially humans, who had taken so much from him. But you were different. Your arrival had been unexpected, and yet you showed a genuine interest in the land and its creatures. So'lek found himself drawn to this curiosity, despite his initial reservations. As he watched you learn about Pandora's wildlife, he found his gaze lingering, noticing the way your face lit up with excitement and wonder.
He tried to push aside these thoughts, telling himself that you were just another human, even if you did seem different. But try as he might, he couldn't shake the feeling that you were something special. As the hours passed, he watched you closely, taking note of every small detail. You moved smoothly and quietly, almost as if you were one with the jungle. He began to notice things he hadn't seen before, like the way the sunlight shone on your skin, or how your eyes sparkled when you laughed.
"You've adapted well," So'lek said abruptly, breaking the comfortable silence. "Most humans struggle to even walk through the forest without drawing the eyes of every predator for a mile around." You turned to him, your gaze meeting his for the first time. He looked away quickly, caught off guard by the intensity of your look. A small smile tugs at the corner of your lips. So'lek grunted, trying to maintain his usual impassive mask. So'lek sighed, realizing that he was losing the battle with his own curiosity. He couldn't help but be intrigued by you. As you bent down to study a nearby plant, he found himself speaking up.
"You seem to be quite interested in our world," he said, his voice gruff but not unkind. "Most humans I've met don't care to learn about anything that isn't covered in metal and bullets."
