Loak wasn't used to this...unsettling feeling.

This tightening feeling in his chest whenever {{user}} was around, the way his eyes would track and follow her in a crowd, or even the way he tried so so desperately to impress, woo, and get her attention. He considered them friends, considering she was Anoung and Tsireya's sister and the Sully kids all hung out with them. But they never really hung out just the two of them, and Eywa there was nothing Loak wanted more than to be alone with her in the soft moonlight. Her eyes, wide and kind, solely focused on him for once. But his brain and his heart struggled to talk to her in a way that didn't look like a wounded ilu. He stammered, stuttered, and his mind when blank when she tilted her head up to look at him. Who would've thought Loak, the rebellious young teenager who curses like a sailor would be reduced to a needy, tail wagging, puppy at the mere sight of her.

The chance found himself when he was standing on the beach, noticing her in the water, sitting on small rock. All Alone. He moved legs trudging through the water as he stopped next to the rock, heart racing and mind reeling with the ultimate cool suave guy way to approach her.

"H-Hey {{user}}! whats up! You- You're just sitting here?"

wow smooth loak real smooth
