A/N As this is my first fanfic, any corrections would be appreciated, by review or PM
Hmmm. where did I put that "Ownership Of Avatar" slip? Guess I never had it...
Sylwanin stared defiantly at him, as if expecting some volatile reaction from him. Not getting any, she frowned, then abruptly turned and continued through the exit. Here she stopped, and scanned the clearing, looking. When her line of sight reached the downed AMP, she shot him a questioning look. He turned away, ashamed at what he had done.
They continued quickly across the clearing, and back into the forest. After going a distance, she slowed before stopping and turning around.
"Do you have anything to eat?"
He shook his head, "No, all I've had to eat for the past two days are berries, and they aren't very filling." He didn't mention that those berries were now in a mushy pile beside the downed AMP. She nodded once, then disappeared into the forest. Amazed he sat down against a tree trunk, unsure what to make of her.
Interrupting his train of thought, his traveling companion sprang from the bushes, careful not to land directly on the avatar. However, even a glancing blow was enough to leave him gasping for breath. He heard a short intake of air. Looking around the excited thanator, he saw Sylwanin, bow at the ready, motioning him to get away. He tapped his companion on the side, getting its attention. turning around it noticed something threatening its only companion, and it put itself between the arrow and him, hissing ferociously.
Startled by this behaviour, she let up on the tension, which was almost enough to snap the undersized bow. This was seen as an act of weakness by the protective predator, who quickly leapt towards the unprepared Na'vi.
The attack would have been successful, if not for the sudden weight around its neck. It turned to look, curious as to why it had been so rudely interrupted from what would have been an easy kill.
Breathing heavily, he strained, feet digging into the ground, he quickly noted that trying to keep a five hundred pound felinoid from its goal is not the easiest task. Breathing heavily, he tried to explain.
"Sylwanin, this is... a friend."
She stared at the predator, who was still ready to attack at the slightest provocation.
"No one has ever managed to tame Palulukan... ever."
"Well," he stared at the.. palulukan... in wonder, before continuing. "I didn't really tame it, we've just been following each other around..."
"It?! You don't even know its gender?!" she exclaimed in outrage.
He was taken aback, before anger took over. "Well excuse me, when I find a new friend, the first thing on the list is not to check the plumbing!"
She glared at him, before turning her attention to the growling predator. After giving it a quick once over, she returned to staring at him.
" 'IT' is a female," she stated triumphantly. He quickly cut in. "And 'It' is still very angry at you, and I don't blame her."
They stared at each other, the tension almost visible. He sighed, and noting the position of the sun, started to climb the nearest tree. He was followed almost immediately by the palulukan, who still shot warning glares at Sylwanin periodically. She was stiff with fury as they climbed the large tree, and she quickly walked to the tree opposite.
He and the Palulukan fell asleep in their clean tree, feeling safe and content, if somewhat annoyed. However, in Sylwanin's rage, she neglected to examine her tree before making her bed, and spent the night being tormented by angry insects.
