Navia was busy emptying the chest, for a moment Théadan wondered if she had even heard him so immersed she was on getting them all sorted to set foot on Khluri soil. Navia did eventually speak and when she did it was pulling up memories he had not expected to hear with the question she had posed. He quickly understood why as she described how she felt the first night she had spent from home, when the Beast had attacked her. Hearing how it had felt for her was painful to hear, Théadan felt responsible for it after all. He had taken her from her home, and the Beast had been one of the soldiers under his command, someone better at bearing the weight of responsibility may well have been able to bring the Beast to heel and spare her such a horrible moment, but he had not. His heart went out to her upon hearing she had not thought much on what she would do upon returning to Khlurios after that.<br/><br/>The chest closed, and Navia placed their bags atop it, ready and waiting their departure. Instead of joining him on the bed however, Navia remained crouched on the floor, shifting over to sit before him, looking up at him with those dark eyes of hers, while her hands came to rest on his thighs. A smile came to her lips as she explained how it had all changed the night back in the stables when he had told her he intended to return her to her home. That brought a smile back to Théadan's lips, as much as he had put Navia through, he had gotten it right eventually. It took a while, but the coastline outside proved he had been as good as his word, and for that Théadan felt some pride.<br/><br/>There was a lot of joy in Navia's words as she listed so many things she wanted to do, all of it involving him. If that was to be his reward for seeing her home safely, he could think of nothing better. Everything she described sounded wonderful to Théadan, and he sincerely hoped they would now have the chance to see it all. Her words were precious to him, hearing how thankful she was to have him with her and a part of her life. She wanted to do so much to make sure his decision to leave his home country would it be worth it, but just being with her was already proving to be enough for Théadan. He was sure to do everything in his power to be worthy of all the affection, kindness and love that Navia continued to show him every day they spent together. Her lips meeting his for a brief kiss was sweet, but he had her chuckling when she added missing her shoes.<br/><br/>"Well we can't have that, can we?" He replied with a grin, looking down at her feet and trying to remember the shoes she had originally worn. He just remembered them being pointed, he had no idea she had even left them in his room back in Nygaard. But at least it gave them something to start with. "Perhaps getting you some proper Khluri shoes should be our first order of business when we disembark, hmm?" He asked. Since she had gone so long without something that was so easily remedied, and very easy to get hold of, then it seemed like a good idea to get her a new pair of shoes so she could have some immediate satisfaction. "We should also see about finding you a horse." He continued to add, now thinking about what they might need for the next stage of their journey. "Just so poor Wyndagar does not have to bear both of us on his back across another country."<br/><br/>This developed into further thoughts about what lay ahead, and what Navia's plans were for their journey to Mandira. In Mes'Mo'Tan he had been the guide picking their path, but the onus now would be truly on her, and that brought a frown to his brow. Her survival knowledge had been at best limited, so he had to wonder if other basic skills for navigating the countryside were missing. She surely knew how to read a map. "Where is it we will head to first once we leave the port?" He asked curiously, now anticipating another period of discovery in their long journey together. "I know there are some places you wish to visit, including returning that necklace to the rightful owner."
