A hand covered Théadan's own, Navia gave him a sympathetic squeeze, knowing how difficult his family was, knowing how he still cared for them, but had to let them go as much for his own sake as for the sake of their being together. He offered a small reassuring smile, she knew his family better than most after their time together in Nygaard, and so Théadan was thankful for what comfort she could offer him. The open gesture of her comforting him was in full sight of Baiza however who could watch and see for herself this side of the relationship, the love and dedication they had for each other. With a bite of her dessert she was labeling him a dedicated man, and with the only pause being to briefly study the picked apart remains of Navia's dessert, she proceeded to point out one of the concerns that still worried Théadan, though he was intent on stifling the thoughts and trusting Navia's judgement of how her family would react to their being together.<br/><br/>While it was an obvious worry for both Théadan and Baiza, Navia was quick to dismiss it, insisting her family would be able to see passed everything done to Khlurios by Mes'Mo'Tanians, and see him for the man she loved. Théadan couldn't be sure of how Navia's family might react to him, the dedication Navia had to him was unquestionable and unwavering, as she declared if pushed to choose she would remain by his side. Such a decision Théadan hoped Navia would not have to make, her family was far too important to her, being parted from them again would be unfair of the world after everything she had been through to return to them. He offered a small smile to her when her gaze rose to meet his own.<br/><br/>The subject was soon changed as Navia brought up their meeting with Osa, and the fact she was going to read his palms, drawing a laugh from Baiza that had Théadan raising an eyebrow, wondering what she found funny. She had questions of whether Mes'Mo'Tan had wise women like Osa, and describing Osa in a way that Théadan found so curious, as a woman who had one foot in this world, and the other in another. "Wise women, yes - like her, no." Théadan replied, offering a grin. "We do have many stories of Khluri witches and their mysterious ways." He explained deciding to go into a little more detail for her. "There are tales of some who steal men away from their lovers with a spell, never to be seen again, and others that speak of curses made upon those who cross them, or even stealing away the youth of others." He chuckled a little at the old fanciful tales, taking a bite of the cake to make an effort to enjoy it rather than let the previous topic spoil it. "Of course I'm sure Osa has no such thing in mind, but there are many places in Mes'Mo'Tan where such tales are still believed and feared."<br/><br/>Raising his hand before his eyes, Théadan studied the lines of his palm curious of what Osa might read into it. He didn't put much stock into such an art, was doubtful of anything useful coming from having his palm read by Osa, but Navia wanted him to meet Osa, and he thought it would at least be enjoyable to see what Osa saw in his future. "Having my palm read however does not quite sound like the stories I heard back in my homeland however." If Osa was a witch, she was nothing like what he had expected, especially since she had been doing so much to help Navia long before he had even met her. "Though I must admit some surprise and a little skepticism to hear there maybe a pinch of truth inside all those stories if Osa can as you say, 'know more than she should.'" He looked over Navia's way, giving a small shrug. "It is all very odd to me, I'm not sure what to expect."
