They were decided on buying Théadan some new clothes though Navia could not resist teasing him a little further, suggesting he would be better off catching her eye without any clothes. It was something he was already well aware would work on her, though if he was to make the rest of the journey through to Mandira, he doubted others would be anywhere near as appreciative of such a sight as she. Théadan did laugh however when Navia decided she still needed to get at least one more outfit to last her until they reached Mandira, which left him nodding his agreement. Their conversations continued on until they reached the city, it was not too much further for them, and they eventually found themselves in a line, slowly moving forward to enter through the gates of the city. Here Théadan did notice the glances of others, eyes watching him that would look away when his gaze met theirs, a child who looked on wide-eyed, seemingly having never seen anyone quite like him.<br/><br/>Being among the crowd really did give Théadan the sense of being a stranger in a foreign land, not helped by him having the tallest horse, and so sitting higher than most everyone in the line. No one bothered him however, not the people, nor the guards, and like everyone else they were allowed through without any problem. It was lively within the walls of the city, lots of noise, lots of music, lots of conversation in a tongue in which only the rare word could he recognise. It was a stark difference to the majority of their journey, where it had been mostly him and Navia. Now there was the hustle and bustle of the people around them, and Théadan was reliant on her to do most of the talking. They found a place for their horses to stay the night where they would be well taken care of, and knowing how the horses were sacred to the Khluri, he knew they would be safe and well taken care of.<br/><br/>The inn was found soon after, with Navia being very overt in how she let him have the key rather than doing her usual dash to grab it as quick as possible. A roll of the eyes, and a kiss to the cheek was what she received from him, before they had their belongings taken to the room, and they were off to go inspect the market. It was a whirlwind of sounds, colours, and smells, getting turned around in this place felt easy to do, getting lost in it looked like it would be even easier. Navia's hand was resting in his arm so they didn't get separated, but she was far more familiar with this scene than him, and was quick to turn and joke about how easy it would be for him to lose her in this place. She claimed her height and how the Khluri's looked like her would make it difficult for him to find her in the crowd.<br/><br/>She teased him further by letting her hand slowly drift from his arm, taking a step back to leave a small gap between them. Plenty came to mind for him to refute such a claim. He could have pointed out how her clothes were of that bit better quality than others, making her standout. Despite their journey, she still had a taste for finer clothing. But Théadan reached out to take her hand to keep her from straying too far, not yet prepared to be left alone among all these people without Navia to translate Khluri for him. "It's okay, I could spot your mischievous grin in a crowd." He smiled as he teased her right back. "And I know for a fact you can't resist getting up to a little mischief once every few minutes. So all I really have to do, is look for where the biggest commotion is, and it will be sure to be you."<br/><br/>Théadan looked out across the market, trying to spot any sign of fabrics. It was a bit more difficult with the tents and all the colours, it made it a little more difficult for him to pick out certain stalls without first wandering passed them. He supposed with markets such as these, it was really better to saunter through the crowds, looking around until something caught the eye. "However, you did promise me to help me pick out some new clothes." He said softly to Navia, giving her hand a small tug to draw her back to his side so they could walk together as they explored and tried to find the main reason they had originally come to the market. "So you can't go running off just yet, not until we have something new for me to wear. Besides I need someone to translate for me, or I may end up offending someone with my broken Khluri."
