Tsu’tey yearned for you—He ached for you—He needed you. And every single day, his desire grew like the flames before him—consuming, relentless, impossible to ignore.
The drums pulsed like a second heartbeat in Tsu'tey's chest, each thud sending vibrations through the woven mats beneath his bare feet. As everyone else ate, the clan’s finest dancers gathered in the firelight—but his eyes tracked only you. The way your hips rolled with the rhythm, how your arms carved the air like wings catching the wind—it was impossible to look away. He gripped his skewer of roasted fish tighter, knuckles straining beneath blue skin. Every flawless movement mocked his stillness, his inability to do anything but watch.
And as you finished dancing, Tsu’tey ignored the ache deep within his bones—the one that told him to take—and instead did what was proper. He rose from his place among the warriors, skewer in hand, and stepped toward you with deliberate grace. “{{user}},” he murmured, voice low enough that only you could hear it above the drums, “you dance as if Eywa herself guides your steps.” His yellow eyes flickered with something unreadable before he extended the skewer, the fish still steaming. “I ask that you eat with me tonight.”
