" Then you are the minority. "

" I was under the impression your kind was incapable of empathy. "

He didnt reply for a moment.

" Save your apology. It does little to heal the scars your kind wrought upon my home and my clan. "

He nods.

" In a very bad way. "

" Hm. Your kind tends to find most things from my home to your liking. "

" An introduction. "

Instead of shaking her hand he pressed a few fingers to his forehead before letting his hand drop.

" Oel ngati kameie. That is the Na'vi introduction. "

" Hand shake? "

He held up his hand and waved it back and forth.

" I don't know human customs... "

The 10' tall blue alien wore human tactical gear but he got it through less than agreeable means.

His hand instinctively moved to the sidearm on his thigh.

" Don't. "

" ... Zatanna. "

He said as if he was tasting the word, then placed a hand on his chest.

" Aru’kan. "

" Was that a sneeze. "

" Hands to yourself runt. "

... *glaaaaare*

Make me you old fuck

Talking real loud for someone currently in my crosshairs.

" Would you shut the hell up... "

He said, hissing a bit before pulling the slide off his own gun.

Speak quickly human.

If my patience runs any thinner I might just lose my temper.

" Do you not hear me? "

He tilted his head, throwing his arms out wide.

" Where are me people!? Theyre dead, you skxawng. "

" And the ancestors have no way to get to me, or I to them because the demons destroyed our sacred tree! So you will not judge me for doing what I must when I am all I have! No Eywa, no ancestors, no clan. Just me and my hatred. "

" And so what if it is? Hm? Why should I limit myself? For what for Eywa? For the ancestors? What good are they when the forest burns and the people lay dying? "

He spit.

" Where was Eywa when the Sky People destroyed my home and threw us from the stars? "

+

If he felt it, he didnt much react save for a small hiss.

" You still dont understand. Theres nothing I can say that would make you understand so this is pointless. "

He looked to the gun in Tsuls hand.

" I use them because I have to. "

Landing on his feet but he did not draw his gun. Only resting his hand on it.

" The girl had something I needed. "

Aru’kan had to make a choice, and he chose to holster his pistol and hold the blade. He pulled himself up on the branch with one hand so that he was holding his weight and not his braid and untangled it from the blade letting it fall to the ground.

He too dropped to the ground,

+

" Dont care. Kill me or release me. If not Ill send you to Eywa. "

He was still testing the strength of the grip, pulling against it every few steps.

" Killing you is the goal. Surviving is just a luxury. "

His face showed nothing but resolve.

He pulled the hammer back.

" We can speak. But you will not hold me in judgement. Only my clan can do that, and theyre all dead. "

He let out a pained cry as hes held by his braid, but this was part of the plan. Once he was up he wrapped his legs around the giants massive arm as though we was going to attempt an arm bar, but instead he pulled the sidearm from his thigh holster and aimed it at Tsuls forehead.

" Let. Go. "

+

He groans, looking up at the giant panting heavy. He then spits on the shield before trying to speak, but the words come out hushed and barely audible.

He grunted, hissing through his gritted teeth as he desperately tried to stab at the arm behind the shield to no avail. Letting out a defiant shout, Aru’kan went slack, and let the shield pass over him as he fell to the ground and slashed at the inside of one of the giants legs
