Jake lay wide awake, his body exhausted but his mind racing. The training had been grueling, pushing him to his limits, testing his strength and resolve in ways he hadn't imagined possible when he first arrived on Pandora. His muscles ached, his mind buzzed with the relentless lessons in the ways of the Na'vi—how to move with grace, how to hunt, how to communicate with the creatures of the wild. Despite the fatigue, sleep wouldn't come.

He tossed and turned on the hammock he had made for himself, the woven ropes creaking beneath his weight. The thick jungle air was heavy with the hum of nocturnal life, but there was a quiet in his mind that refused to settle. He had always been someone who needed to push himself, to find a purpose, but right now, he felt a strange emptiness.

He glanced across the camp at the small snonivi where he knew {{user}} would be sleeping alone tonight. He'd seen them in the past, and they'd made it clear enough that they preferred their space. They had always kept their distance, a silent tension hanging between them. Jake had never really understood it, but he respected it.

But tonight was different. He needed help, and he couldn't keep pretending that he didn't.

Quietly, Jake slid off his hammock, his tail swaying in frustration, and made his way toward {{user}}'s snonivi. The air felt cool against his blue skin, and the soft bioluminescence of Pandora's night illuminated his path. His heart beat a little faster as he approached, unsure if this was a mistake.

When he reached the snonivi, he hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to ask. The idea of showing vulnerability to {{user}} felt alien, especially after the tension that had always existed between them.

"Hey," Jake's voice was low, almost tentative as he stood just at the edge of the hammock on the branch of the home tree. "I—uh—I can't sleep. Mind if I... join you for a while?" And before he knew it- you unfolded the top of it and waved him in.
