There was no sudden reaction from Théadan concerning the way she had positioned herself just out of reach. He watched her, could see she was trying to toy with him, but he didn't take her bait. In fact, as she stared back at him, waiting for a reaction from him, a disappointed pout formed on his lips that tugged at her heart. She hadn’t been trying to annoy or taunt him, she had figured he’d make a grab for her, they’d goof around for a few moments, and they would curl up together like they had originally planned to do with a couple good laughs in before the night’s end. It was no matter though, for at least she got him to roll to face her and call her out for teasing him with faked innocence.<br/><br/>She kept forgetting she was going to teach him to swim and even though Théadan had expressed uncertainty over it in the past, Navia was looking forward to doing so. Théadan had taught her so much during their time together, self-defense, tracking and hunting, how to create a fire. It would be her turn to teach him. Navia had no time to comment on it other than a smile though, for he was speaking of aphrodisiacs and moving a little closer, causing her dark eyes to follow closely and see just how near he was willing to come. Théadan appeared to want her to close the gap between them though, so she would have to meet him halfway. He did very cutely take her hand and press a kiss to it though, and Navia smiled softly until he accused her of playing innocent. Laughing, Navia shrugged and moved to close the space between them, her lips warm and curved into a grin when they went to press upon his own. “I suppose you’re right,” she conceded to him, leaning up for another kiss before twisting around and curling up in front of him so she could have the pleasure of his chest against her back while they slept.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>It took some time for them to gain momentum the next morning. They were both tired and Navia was cranky about leaving the bed until she realized she would be able to wear her Khluri clothing. She chose the green dress Théadan had picked out for her, liking the delicate lacy fabric in the arms and how it gave a peek at her bronzed skin, as well as the open back and flowing skirt. She’d taken some time just admiring the dress in the crummy old mirror in their tiny bathroom, thrilled to finally be back in Khluri clothing for the first time in months. Once Navia had gotten used to see herself in traditional attire again, they’d finished packing up their room and carried their gear back down the narrow stairwell. After speaking with the innkeeper, she secured them some breakfast they could eat on their ride and apples for the horses. The man was irritated all the way, continuously sent Théadan murderous glances, but barely said a cross word to her. The two men who had been drinking at the bar were also gone, so acquiring the bread and fruit was uneventful and they were soon off to see how Wyndagar and Varinata faired for the night.<br/><br/>As Navia had promised, the horses were untouched and had seemed in good spirits. They were greeted with nickers and perked ears and both horses had been eager to move on while they were saddled. By midafternoon, they were well away from Khlorun and Lamph was likely no more than an hour away, but the Khluri sun was rising. With it, so did the heat. The day was definitely warmer than it had been previously. It felt good in Navia’s mind; having the sun on her skin while they rode closer to the jungle. “See how the trees are beginning to change?” She pointed out after taking a bite of one of the apples they’d received for breakfast. In the distance, the trees were getting taller, greener, closer together. For much of their ride from Khlorun, they had been in grasslands and they were now coming closer to the jungles of Khlurios, where Lamph was nestled and they would find the spa. “We’ll be protected from the sun once the road winds into the jungles, and at this time of year, it will be a bit cooler, but come summer, the jungles are stifling,” Navia paused to take another bite before speaking again while twisting in the saddle to grin at Théadan, “You remember what you came across growing in the jungles when you were last here? The spa might have their own little farm of it.”
