Navia had nothing but denial for Théadan as she shook off any notion of her arm tiring from carrying the basket, even going so far as to give his leg a smack with the basket, just to further annoy him. No plan had yet formed in Théadan's mind for how he was going to pay Navia back for all her provoking, but he could afford to be patient, and remember the number of times she had bumped his leg with the basket - three. The beach came into view just a moment later, Navia pointing it out to him, they could see the blue ocean stretching out down below where they walked, and with just a few more steps they had found themselves at the top of a cliff where the jungle abruptly ended, a quiet, small, brilliantly white sandy beach was there below them, with clear ocean water the likes of which Théadan had never seen along the coast of Mes'Mo'Tan.<br/><br/>Even if without seeing the beach and ocean, Théadan could have told they were close now, just from the smell of the seawater in the air. They had become quite familiar with it while riding upon the Uttarana, and while on that boat he would have been terrified of being in the water, looking down at the small cove, with its perfect beach, and the small waves lapping at its shore, he could see how the ocean could be inviting, and why Navia wanted to bring him here. "It is." Théadan agreed when asked if it was beautiful, Navia looked so happy to be back at this place she had once been too with her mother, he was sure just the sight of it was stirring memories for her, and they all looked to be happy ones, he would have to ask her to share some when they had the chance.<br/><br/>Right now they needed to descend down to the beach, and that looked like it required a bit more caution than usual. A set of steps had been carved into the stone, but not all were even or the same height, occasionally narrowing and widening. A rope had been bolted on to the wall at least, and that would make it safer, still a little caution was required, and Navia made a point of it too, right before turning to him with a grin, looking up into his eyes, head tilted upwards as though she sought a kiss, before bumping him with the basket again, and turning away to head down the steps where she knew she would be safe from his response. Four.<br/><br/>Théadan rolled his eyes at the back of his lover's head, before following her down the steps, choosing to stay close to her, if either one of them slipped the other could lend them a hand to keep them from seriously injuring themselves. His retaliation would have to wait for a more opportune moment. They still had a good view of the beach as they made their way down though, the area they would first step down at would be in the shade. Mes'Mo'Tan did not have beaches quite like this, most were pebble beaches, or covered in snow and ice. "This is very pretty, I've never seen anything quite like it." He admitted, occasionally turning his head to admire it as they slowly made their way down the staircase. "It's so bright and white."<br/><br/>While one hand held on to the rope assisting their descent, the other one remained free, Navia was busy carrying the basket, but unfortunately it would be an ill-conceived idea for him to start using his free hand to start messing with Navia. Instead Théadan reached forward to rest it on Navia's shoulder, giving him a little support, and if she were to slip, he would at least have a hold on her to help keep her balance. Until he could get her back for bumping his thigh with the basket, conversation would have to do for entertainment. "So you and your mother used to come down here." He said curiously, wondering what Navia would have looked like at that young age, how she may have acted around her mother. "What would you do while down here, swim all day? Have a picnic?" He asked, before smirking at an added question he could ask. "Find ways to be a nuisance to people you love...?"
