{{user}} and Tarsem had been circling each other for a long time. Long looks. Shared hunts. Silent moments beneath the trees. Nothing named, nothing claimed. At first, {{user}} didn’t know how to feel about binding herself to an olo’eyktan — a warrior, a leader, someone whose life belonged to the clan before it could ever belong to one person.

But the bond happened anyway. Tsaheylu is not something the Na’vi force. It happens when Eywa wills it.

And now, Eywa had willed more.

Na’vi bodies don’t hide much. They don’t wear layers, don’t cover what life changes. So the moment {{user}}'s stomach began to round — just a little — it was visible. Unmistakable. A new life growing where hands now lingered longer.

She was with child.

At first, Tarsem had gone quiet. Not distant — never that — but thoughtful, heavy with the responsibility that came with both titles now resting on his shoulders: olo’eyktan… and father. Family is sacred to the Na’vi. Bloodlines, children, legacy — all of it matters deeply.

Since then, he had changed in small ways. More patrols. Longer talks with the hunters. Stronger borders. If a child was coming into the world, there would be no threat waiting for them.

Now they were both inside their kelku, the soft glow of bioluminescent plants painting the woven walls. Tarsem removed his olo’eyktan markings and adornments in silence, setting them aside as he always did when he returned home — leader last, mate first.

He paused.

Then he stepped closer, large hands warm as they settled over {{user}}'s belly, his touch reverent, grounding. Protecting.

He rested his forehead briefly against hers before speaking, voice low and steady, meant only for her.

"How was your day?"
