Théadan’s admission his body had been telling him he’d been ready had Navia briefly trying to recall whether she had noticed. She could not remember any specific signs that Théadan was ready for them to return to how they normally were other than the more ardent nature of their kisses, but she was glad to hear he wanted to try. She missed him, missed the connection they had when they were together, and was happy to hear he wanted to try. They would know pretty quickly if his body would not respond well to the physicality of sex, but just as she was realizing they could also limit themselves for his safety, Théadan was smiling at her and suggesting just that.<br/><br/>Only he worded it in a way that made it sound like she was the only one who would have to limit herself. Navia narrowed her gaze at him warningly, and was fully prepared to point out all the times he had been the one to be less gentle than usual, but Théadan brought the corners of the ship they could sneak off to in what appeared to be an attempt to change the subject. “I’ll show you them whenever you like,” she answered with a shrug, “Even now if you want. We have a few hours before we’ll be able to leave the ship anyway. But first we need to discuss what you just said about enthusiasm.”<br/><br/>Even though she knew many of the men on the ship did not know the common language, theirs was a discussion meant only for them, so Navia kept her face close to Théadan’s while a knowing smirk curved her lips. She had been avoiding teasing him lately so they would not get caught up and overexcited, but if he was willing to try later, she saw no reason not to indulge. “<i>You</i>can say nothing about how enthusiastic I can be, unless it’s to say how much you love it or how you can be just as so,” she snuck a quick peck of a kiss from him before continuing, “Or have you forgotten the last few times we made love? Should I point out the time where you convinced me to even though our hosts slept in the next room? Or maybe the one where you pushed me up against a door and made it so I could barely stand when I had done nothing to provoke you?” Thinking of those times, remembering how coaxing Théadan had been and how wonderfully physical, Navia pressed her lips warmly to his before he could come up with a response.<br/><br/>She ended the kiss before it could become too heated, they were still in a public area after all, but she did take the time to catch his bottom lip between her teeth and give it a provoking little tug. “I think my favorite show of your enthusiasm lately was when you couldn’t even bother to take your clothes off before making love to me, though,” Navia murmured to Théadan, remembering how that time it had been weeks since they’d last been together and how desperate they’d been. Was that how it would be later, she wondered? She didn’t let that anticipation show though, instead feigning indifference while she sat up, released her hold on him, and scooted down the beam she sat upon so she could hop off. Her boots hit the wood floor of the ship and once again Navia was far shorter than Théadan. Still willing to tease him a bit more, she purposely started to brush past him with a coy smile, “Shall we go ask Risho what to explore in Terlingua? Or did you want that ship tour now?”
