Teylan x Zeswa!Reader Preview
A/N~ A small preview to the Teylan x Reader one-shot I'm working on. It takes place after the Fire and Ash DLC.

The radio in her hand has been quiet for days. Weeks. Waiting for a voice to come through to reassure her worries.
Y/N was waiting for Teylan to contact her. After having heard what happened in the Kinglor with the Mangkwan she couldn't help but worry. Her Sisters Nesim and Minang have tried to reassure her that Teylan would be okay, and she should focus on helping the Zakru with their calf season.
“Y/N why dont you repair the kites to take your mind off of the sarentu boy…” Nesim suggested though her tone always sounded like an order. Her firm tone allowed order amongst the Zeswa.
Luckily they had avoided the wrath of the mangkwan. Having left for the heart of the plains just in time. But now it was radio silence and Y/N grew more worried. Following her elder sister's instruction, she left the main group to her propped up mauri with the damaged kites that have faulted since the great games.
The fabric having torn in some places, the rope fraying and the paint having been bleached lighter due to sun.
It was enough work to take her mind off of things. Off of Teylan.
They had started courting one another since the Great games, having found his antics and his views of pandora utterly adorable. Y/N loved to tease him and challenge, seeing him mess up in that awkward way he does but having that sheepish smile always made her heart flutter. Teylan didn't have fighting strength like the warriors in her clan, he had heart and brain. That's what she saw in him.
She was also curious about his ‘tech’ and what each thing does, having taught her how to use the radio so they can stay in touch.
The times they had spent together of her playing with his hair asking for when she can finally braid his hair or trying on his hat that he is attached to. Playfully stealing it away for him to chase her. He was slightly stuck in his ways that he learnt from the sky people.
But Y/N loved that side of him. How he lives between worlds and has a better understanding of them. Teylan had even begun to teach her human words which she mostly butchers, while she also guides him in Na'vi when he forgets a common word.
Y/N remembered how Teylan was a nervous wreck when he asked Nesim and Minang for permission to court her. Nesim had even asked if he was willing to fight their strongest warrior, her, to prove that he is worthy. Y/N could see the Sarentu mentally preparing to meet Eywa if he goes through with the fight.
Only for Y/N to chastise her older sister for pulling his tail.
“Nesim! Don't or you will end up killing him and how may he court me if dead” Y/N had said clearly already agreeing to the courtship.
Teylan had his tail wagging hearing that she accepted. And since then they have been inseparable. Talking as much as they can on the radio whenever they are apart.
So having silence for weeks was painful. She couldn't stop worrying, taking up night patrol on the outskirts of the camp in hopes to spot Teylan and the other sarentu.
At this point she was losing all hope.
