Théadan affirmed her thought that the last time they’d bathed together had been when they were in Nygaard and Navia smiled softly that he remembered so well. It was nice to hear that night was special to him, for it was just as much to her. “That entire day was special,” she pointed out quietly, eyes drifting down to watch the gentle movements of the water in the tub as she came to stand beside it. They had done so much that day, from waking up to Théadan’s mother sweeping into his bedroom and not knowing Navia was snuggled up with him to exploring Théadan’s office with the city guard to the Nygaard markets and buying each other gifts to exchange. They had been desperate to spend every last moment together that last day for fear it could be their last. And now they had every day ahead of them to enjoy. Navia briefly prayed she never took that for granted. "Especially that night by the fire," she finished, thinking of how beautifully they had made love, thinking it could be their last.<br/><br/>While Théadan set up the bath, Navia reached out to brush her fingertips through the cool water. It wasn’t until he poured the boiling water in from the pot he’d been heating and swirled it around with his arm that she felt the water at her fingertips heat up pleasantly. It did feel ready for them, and certainly very inviting. Happy to take the first step in, Navia did so carefully, one hand resting on the rim of the tub for stability as her foot first made contact with the hot water. “Oh, it feels wonderful,” she commented appreciatively while stepping in fully so she stood in the center of the tub. It was not overtly large, but room enough for two. Navia did not sit right away, her gaze instead wandering the modest, small bathroom before she looked back to Théadan with a thoughtful smile on her dark lips.<br/><br/>“As much as I love bathing in tubs with you, I wish we would have taken more advantages of that shower of yours in Nygaard,” Navia said while lowering into the water. The heat caressed her body as her body became engulfed by the water, drawing a pleased sigh from her. It had been weeks since they’d last made love and with the fervency in which they had, her thighs and inner core were sore. The hot water was soothing to those muscles, making her want to relax and occupy most of the tub. Instead her legs remained bent in front of her, knees breaching the water. The top curves of her breasts and shoulders were also visible. Sitting in the center of the tub as she was unsure if he would choose to sit behind her or facing her, Navia tipped her head back to look up at Théadan as she allowed one arm to lean on the tub’s rim and she leaned against it.<br/><br/>“I don’t think we’ll see another one of those anytime soon and it really did feel nice to have that hot water cascading down on us that time we used it. Maybe we can convince someone to try to build one for us in this fantasy future home we keep talking about,” Navia speculated with a hint of a smirk while waiting for Théadan to decide how he wanted to sit in the tub with her. And what fun it was to do. It made traveling to Khlurios all the more exciting, knowing they would someday soon begin to settle in to enjoy their lives together. They just needed to visit her family first but until then, dreaming about the life they could make together was entertaining enough. As Navia patiently waited for Théadan to join her, her dark eyes roaming his body, she could think of few things better than dreaming up their future with him.
