The nod Navia gave offered Théadan reassurance she agreed with his assessment, they had to go on, leave Mes'Mo'Tan and head to Khlurios. He could only hope they would be more accepting of their relationship than his family, but knowing everything he had done, that his people had done, Théadan still doubted it. Navia's hand flattening against his cheek and turning him a little more towards her, drew him away from his thoughts. Her forehead pressed against his temple in an intimate moment of companionship, he so loved it when she did that, when they had these moments to draw strength from each other.<br/><br/>She had one thing to add, and that was how much they had done to keep each other safe, it all had to mean something. He agreed, knowing they both has gone to extreme lengths to protect each other. Navia pulled away, placing a kiss to his cheek, they both smiled as Navia admitted she liked hearing him say he loved her.  "I should say it often, to make up for all the times I didn't say it." They were numerous times he had been tempted, when words failed him, or the time didn't feel right, or guilt still wracked him. But Navia had always remained patient with him, despite admitting her feelings much sooner than he, she had waited until he was ready to return them. For that he was thankful.<br/><br/>Unexpectedly, Navia completely ignored the shaving cream she had brought along with her, and instead reached for a small bag, and explained she had sold her amber jewel, as what coin they had, had begun to run low. It was out of necessity, she explained, but Théadan couldn't help but feel it was one more thing she had sacrificed for them. He liked how she recalled the memory of him giving it back to her, it was sweet and had been a special moment for them. Navia then opened the bag, and presented it to him, revealling the strawberries within. He smiled at her, and with a little effort, leaned forward to give her lips a brief kiss, before he had to lean back.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry you had to sell your jewel. It was one of those adornments I liked, small and subtle, it drew the eye but didn't hog the attention." Théadan said, remembering how it had caught his eye, how the twinkle begged him to cast his gaze towards her during those first days. "And it was a part of your homeland, so much of your culture was left behind, it was one of the few things I could give back to you." It was small but it had been something he could give her to make up for what he had done. His hand reached into the bag of strawberries, and he plucked out two, one large, one small. "When we get to Khlurios, and should I ever have a wealth of funds at my disposal again, I shall have to buy you a replacement."<br/><br/>The fruit was soft in his hand, and he happily bit into the larger one, pinching the green leaf at the end so he could eat the rest of the fruit whole. It was sweet, and the flavour spread throughout his mouth in an instant, making him give a happy '<i>Mmm</i>' of approval. "Thank you for this." He said appreciatively, and bit into the smaller one. The burst of flavour rushed across his tongue, as he chewed. "They're good, the smaller one is more intense in its flavour, so I think I prefer somewhere between the largest and smallest." His hand delved back into the bag and plucked out one of the strawberries, this time however, he held it before Navia's lips for her to try.
