Navia was stirring up memories, possibly trying to distract him a little while she tried to sneak back around behind him. Her voice was the bait, intended for him to try to follow it, or predict where she would be next. The memory she conjured was a good one though, one Théadan treasured, carrying her over his shoulder once he had finally caught her after their little chase, hearing her needling protests while he sought a spot where he could set her down and have his way with her, out in the forest where it could just be them. Théadan couldn't quite remember how he had ended up chasing her, had it been something to do with Wyn? During that time she had been very prone to teasing him over how his horse wanted to run away with her, and like her more.<br/><br/>It was fine to indulge those memories for the time being, Théadan did not need to keep hunting her, and nor was he about to call out any further and reveal himself to be suspiciously waiting in one spot. He just had to wait for the moment Navia snuck up behind him, then chase her into his trap. That moment was not far away, it was her voice he heard first, her footsteps were shockingly silent even with him listening for any subtle sound, he could not hear her get up behind him. When she announced herself, her voice was loud, excited, and took Théadan off-guard, expecting he would have picked up on some idea she was behind him. His lover continued to have some surprising talents that he was sure she made use of in another life. Her hand was on his rear giving him a squeeze while he was tensing from her voice, and by the time Théadan had turned around to try and grab at her, Navia was already off and heading towards his little trap. At least the plan was working, even if she had taken him by surprise again.<br/><br/>A stumble cost Navia precious seconds, he spotted it just as he rounded the corner and began his pursuit after her. Of the two routes she could have chosen, she went with the one that had a dead end, giving Théadan every reason to grin smugly as he quickly moved to stop her from escaping back out the aisle before she realised. She had speed, but he had strength, and he could mostly block Navia from escaping now. She had turned to face him, knowing she was caught with nowhere to go, slowly stepping back to keep what distance would remain until she bumped against the crates behind her. Her head was held high though, even in defeat she looked triumphant, smug, as though no matter what he did now, she had already won. "Over confidence was your undoing." Théadan said, as he slowly stepped closer towards her, keeping a wary eye on his lover, she was a trickster, and would not shy away from seizing any moment to try and sneak passed him. "After that first time you were always going to look to get behind me again and repeat." He tutted his tongue condescendingly, feeling he had earned his right to gloat a little now. "So predictable."<br/><br/>Théadan placed his hands on the crates either side of him to make getting passed without running into his arms especially difficult. "Now you're trapped with nowhere to go but through me." And he would not let her get away from him so easily. That she had managed to sneak up behind him twice without him noticing was more wounding to his ego that the opportunity she took to have a feel of his back side. "After all your little taunts and jibes, I am not going to let you out from these crates until you've told me your embarrassing story." It had best be a worth while story too after everything she was making him go through to drag it out of her. He had to remember in future should he lose another bet to her, that he should make it every bit as challenging as she had made it for him to get the reward. "Or perhaps this is the part where you plan to distract me? To leave us a '<i>panting heap on the floor.</i>'" That had been the other part to her plan, to avoid telling him any embarrassing stories, Théadan could not see it working, but with a memory of them on the forest floor together, still clothed but exhausted and satisfied, he had to wonder what she had in mind.
