The splash of water doused his hair, sent water trickling down his face and chest, and Navia could not keep the haughty grin from taking over her face. As usual when she tried to taunt him and get a rise out of him, Théadan did nothing at first to give any sort of reaction. He so rarely gave her the pleasure of a reaction initially, but she knew that was only because he was plotting on how he would get her back. No, she would have to be watchful. Théadan would not let that splash slide, even if he was going on to agree it was pretty out in the sun and take notice of how she was floating. Navia shrugged her answer at first, glancing down at herself while she contemplating how she was able to do it and did not think much of it. “It’s not difficult,” she answered, though it was said with a smirk of her own after Théadan’s comment on it being Khluri magic.<br/><br/>With him seeming to have newfound interest in the way she was able to float in the water, Navia thought nothing of Théadan stepping closer and feeling the water both above and below her. “I can teach you,” Navia offered, looking up at him with a smile. The sun was blocked by the back of his head, making it easy for her to look up at his shadowed face. Théadan did not seem as interested in learning as she thought he might be though; he was instead stepping closer and whispering about her starting something. Eyebrows knitting together in confusion, Navia started to question him until seemingly out of nowhere, his arms were hooking beneath her knees and lifting, causing her to yelp until she was dragged under the water and it muffled her alarm. The water was chilly and Navia had the brief image of sunlight dancing over water from below it until the pressure under her legs subsided. If she hadn’t been surprised and ill-prepared for the brief trek below the water’s surface, she would have liked to stay under to enjoy how pretty it was.<br/><br/>She breached the water with a gasp, body rising up hastily for air after the unexpected dunk. Sputtering, hands trying to shove her newly soaked thick black hair back from her face, Navia spun to gape at Théadan for his retaliation. “You—“ She started to say, but Théadan was not giving her any room to react, instead heading further into the pool and asking about the area before them. Navia wiped some of the water from her face while she watched him go, completely flabbergasted he would do such a thing to her, then act like nothing had even happened. For a brief moment, she considered diving down and trying to pull his legs out from beneath him, but even though she was more comfortable in the water, he was still stronger. He had also shown some hesitation about going underwater when he could not swim and she did not want to panic him. She wanted Théadan to enjoy swimming and exploring the springs with her, not terrorize him. There definitely had to be something else she could do.<br/><br/>“I wasn’t planning on getting my hair wet, you know,” Navia groused at Théadan while following after him. She did so slowly, taking her time to slick back her hair so it would not be in her way. Once she was close enough, an idea struck her and she grinned while lining up behind him. She hopped onto his back next, arms wrapping around his neck as her belly and breasts pressed along the length of his back, her legs trailing through the clear water behind them. “If you think for a moment you’re going to get away with dunking me like that, you’re sorely mistaken,” Navia said into his ear before pressing a quick kiss to his cheek. “I don’t know what this area is, it's new since I was last here,” she went on, admitting the flowers and little grotto were new to her. It did not stop Navia from removing an arm from around his neck briefly to point toward the grotto with its pretty flowers and tiny waterfall trickling over the entrance and demand, “Take me over there!”
