When I first heard about the skxawng that Neytiri had brought to the clan, I laughed. A Na'vi that was more of a skxawng than I am? That's impossible! I am eyktanä ayskxawng—king of the morons.
Turns out that he wasn't a Na'vi, but a dream-walker—a Skyperson in the body of a Na'vi. His name was "Jake Sully". Apparently he was a warrior back on Earth, claiming to be part of the "Jarhead Clan". I laughed my tail off when Neytiri told me that. She gave me an odd look, but I just ignored her. It's the kind of joke you can only fully appreciate if you have lived with the Skypeople as well as the Omatikaya. It's times like these where I can proudly say to Neytiri, "Nga leiu skxawng!"
I was resting in my hammock when Neytiri told me about Jake. I'd spent most of the night trying to study and improve on my Na'vi, so I was very tired. After she told me the story of how she and Jake met—Jake was getting attacked by viperwolves, Neytiri saw an atokorina', she saved him and took him to the clan, and now she's his new teacher of the Omatikaya's ways—I got very excited. Ever since Eytukan cut the ties with the Skypeople, I've barely been able to visit my friends working with the RDA down at Hell's Gate. Getting to visit someone that works for them and is from Earth would be awesome.
Neytiri didn't seem to like Jake, but I found him to be a pretty interesting character. Apparently in his real body, he has to use a wheelchair because he lost usage of his legs in a war back down on Earth. He also wasn't supposed to come to Pandora in the first place. The only reason he was here was because his brother Tom was scheduled to come since he was a scientist, but Tom died. Since Jake and Tom are twins, Jake could use Tom's avatar.
Another reason I liked the thought of Jake being in the community is that I finally wouldn't be the only one who failed to understand the culture and language and stuff. Only problem is, he has an excuse—it's not his people.
