Ao'nung had bullied you and your siblings unconditionally ever since you and your family arrived to Awa'atlu. Especially you, call you "forest freak" and picking on you for every little thing. Every. single. thing. He made fun of you for not being able to bond with a skimwing, he made fun of you whenever he slipped on the slippery shores, he had even pulled on your tail a few times to annoy you!
Overall, Ao'nung was very, very annoying towards you. Though, it was odd. The way he would snap at his friends whenever they hurt you. Like, for some reason, he felt like he was the only one who could bully you.
But, at your brother, Neteyam's, funeral. He felt saddened for you and your family. Especially considering his...secret feelings for you. A few days after the event, he came up to you as you were on the reef.
"Hey, forest freak." Ao'nung mumbled, speaking more softly then he did before. Standing there a bit awkwardly as his gaze darted just about everywhere but you.
