Théadan slept with a smile on his face, cuddled up to Navia his hand held over the bump at her abdomen protectively, it was a peaceful nights sleep for him once he finally drifted off. The heat of Khlurios made it difficult, but he wasn't about to put space between himself and Navia for the sake of being cooler. Unfortunately the difficulty of getting to sleep made waking up just as difficult. His body ached and protested his movements, the previous days enthusiasm for Navia catching up with him, he silently swore today would not end with them having made themselves all the sorer. Navia was up and moving before him, but Théadan  was soon following suit, dressing in what loose clothes he could find for himself, whatever made it easier once the sun rose high enough to make everything about Khlurios hot.<br/><br/>They were leaving the spa, though considering how much this place meant to Navia, and now the meaning it held for him too, Théadan expected they would return to this place many more times in their lives. Baiza was kind enough to bring them meals to take with them, and give Théadan a brief hug which he had not expected. She had made him feel very welcome at the spa throughout his stay, and could only hope there would be more Khluri like her who he would meet and be prepared to judge him for his character, not his name or colour of his skin. He expressed his thanks to her and took to attending Wyndagar while Navia said her goodbyes. Wyn was thankfully more receptive to him this morning, the time on the ship now behind him and forgotten, he seemed to have forgiven him for having stuck him in the hold for a month, nibbling at his hand when he offered it, and obliging him as he readied the saddle and then mounted the horse.<br/><br/>It was Navia now playing the role of guide on their journey, the map was hers, the direction they took hers to choose, as was the path into and through the jungle. The trees were far taller and heavier with foliage than anything Théadan was used to, he occasionally had to stop and marvel at how wild and dense this part of the world was, it supported so much life. Théadan was pulled from his revelry of the jungle when Varinata started acting up with Navia on her back. They had come to a halt with Vari seeming restless, Wyn brought them alongside as Navia made a proposition to make the most of Varinata's restlessness.<br/><br/>They had only raced the once with horses, outside Verasis, it had been some time since then, and the first time they had a pair of horses to race with. In this land, and being more familiar with the jungle, Théadan figured Navia was likely to be the quicker rider, but she was less experienced with her horse, and Wyndagar was likely to be the faster between him and Varinata with only the added weight of Théadan slowing him down.  All things considered Théadan was confident the pairing of him and Wyn would win out, and was happy to gloat about it before they had even raced a single step. "Oh you should know by now you can't beat Wyn in a race." He teased, reaching over to Varinata and giving the horse ear a scratch, it was twitching with the sounds of the jungle around them.<br/><br/>Théadan looked further down the path they were taking, the one they were on had been quite narrow at points, it would not always be wide enough to fit a pair of horses through if they ended up racing side by side. "This is a well trod path but the jungle grows quick." He said, "Parts could get narrow or hang low, so just be careful okay." The last thing he wanted to see was Navia falling off her horse, but he did not wish to keep her from having her fun with him either. He also knew Navia to be an excellent and experienced rider, so was confident she wouldn't do anything silly riding on the back of Varinata.
