“Ah!” Navia gasped as the momentum of her rushing to capture Théadan sent them both stumbling into a hay bale. He was able to keep them upright however, and Navia managed to keep her hold around him to keep him from escaping. Laughing at his question of who was doing the hunting, Navia waited until it felt like they were both more secure on their feet before she gave her arms around him a quick, affectionate squeeze while she basked in the triumph of having gotten ahold of him before he could get her. She had even managed to throw a blanket over his head and hold it around him, her body pressed up against the side of his arm while she felt the blanket twist some with his movements.<br/><br/>Théadan was then pointing out she might not deserve to be snuggled by him if she kept calling him a kitten, a sentiment she had no answer for other than a shrug. She liked calling him it, she found it cute, and so Navia knew he was not going to scare her out of using it. To prove as much, her hold around him did not change while he searched for a way to pull the blanket off the top of his head. He looked down at her with a dubious expression, one she could barely make out in the darkness but still allowed her to see how it affected his features. She could not see the color in his brilliant green eyes, but she enjoyed how they shined down at her, how they were filled with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion while he asked what she was going to do since she had managed to catch him.<br/><br/>For the most part, Navia had simply wanted to see if she could catch Théadan before he got ahold of her, but she had also wanted to surprise him by switching up how their little games of chase usually went. She felt like she had succeeded in doing so, he appeared pleasantly surprised, but the question of what she planned on doing next was one Navia did not know exactly how to answer. “Ummm….” She shrugged after looking up at him for a beat, her arms snug around him and her body pressed up against his side. He was warm beneath the blanket, his firm body pressed up so the front of hers molded around him, and he was close enough that she could catch a whiff of his scent amongst the earthy smell of rain wafting through the window.<br/><br/>“Well, I don’t think I had much of a plan when I decided to do this,” Navia chuckled truthfully, shrugging some while she looked up at Théadan, “I wanted to see if I could catch you before you caught me, but…well, I’m not usually the one doing the catching.” It was no secret she loved when he chased her and that she was always curious to see what he would do once he finally did catch her. “You were thinking up until I threw this blanket over your head that you would be catching me, so what were you planning on doing?” Unable to help herself with how close they were to each other, Navia tightened her hold him a little, using her grip to stand on her toes and close the distance between them so she could press a kiss to his cheek. She lingered there, leaning against Théadan’s side to stay on her toes, her eyes making out his lips in the darkness. “You would have had me all to yourself for one last night before we reach Mandira, during this thunderstorm, no one to interrupt us and with me completely at your mercy,” Navia finished quietly, voice laced with a hint of husk, “What would you have done?”
