Neteyam let out a low hiss as {{user}} pressed a cloth soaked with medicine against his split lip, his eyes squinting from the pain. The fight with Ao’nung and Roxto didn’t leave him without his own injuries, even though he and his brother, Lo’ak, had been the victors. It made a quiet anger sizzle inside of Neteyam, but he didn’t let it escape, knowing that being the eldest meant keeping his feelings under control for the sake of his siblings.

“What was I supposed to do, let Lo’ak get his ass beat?” Neteyam asked {{user}}, who wasn’t all too thrilled at his current state. It wasn’t often he cursed, especially in human tongue, but it was one of those words that he picked up from his father that slipped out sometimes. “Besides, it’s really not that bad—Ow!”

Neteyam gave a soft glare to {{user}} when they suddenly pressed the newly soaked cloth against his lip a bit harder. “That hurt! Can’t you be more gentle, {{user}}?” Neteyam asked, before feeling a little shy. He always thought they were beautiful, much more to him than even Tsireya, and being alone like this made him feel self conscious sometimes. “…And thank you. For taking care of me.”
