A laugh was the answer to Théadan's questioning expression, he supposed he should have expected as much, even considered adding letting him discover hot sand as another to the list of teases Navia had done to him today, along with the number of times she had bumped the basket against his thigh. But he chose to let this one slide, after all he could not blame the heat of the sand on Navia. She pointed out the sand always got hotter than water, and so the wet sand would not be hot, he merely had to make it to that sand first. Which to Théadan seemed easier said than done, there was plenty of hot sand to cover before he found any wet sand to cool his feet with. He had only stood on the hot sand for a couple moments, and it was quickly enough to surprise him.<br/><br/>Navia offered a couple helpful pointers, demonstrating how the hotter sand was always just on the surface. Théadan mimicked her feet so his too would bury in the sand and feel considerably cooler beneath the surface. His eyes were looking down at his own feet in curious observation, when Navia suggested he could also do what she always did. His head lifted, and he was just about to ask what that was, when he saw her drop her leggings and look back at him with a smirk, declaring how she would run to the water, before taking off as fast as she could across the hot sand, making a beeline for the water, her clothes being cast aside as she went until her nude form was on show to their quite little cove. Her bronze skin looking perfect in the sunlight.<br/><br/>How many times had he seen her run? There had been that time he had chased her through the woods on the outskirts of Verasis, but he could not think of many times beyond that. Certainly he had never seen her run completely nude before, and it was a sight impossible for him to tear his eyes away from. Even as she reached the wet sand she continued running until she reached water and found herself thigh deep, unable to run any further. Clearly there was only one thing for it. Théadan also had to make that run across the sand, he could not be outdone by his Khluri lover, even if she did seem far more comfortable with heat than him. Just as she had done, Théadan loosened the ties of his pants, and let them fall to the ground, before pulling his shirt over his head to leave him nude on the beach too. He took one step forward, looked grudgingly at the line where shadows met light, took a breath, and proceeded to sprint as hard and fast as he could towards the water.<br/><br/>The sand was still hot to the touch. But thankfully because he was at a sprint, the discomfort was only momentary, it did not stop him from going full pelt, kicking up a spray of sand as he went, right until he reached the wet sand when suddenly it completely changed. Cooler just as Navia had told him to expect, but more than that, it was completely smooth, and so much more firm under foot. It was suddenly like he was running on a path rather than what felt like a hot cushion just moments before. It gave him due cause to slow just a little as he felt the sand under foot, but the desire to join a naked Navia in the sea was enough of a lure to keep him moving, as he sent a spray of water everywhere with each step, slowing him down. "Ooooh..." He murmured suddenly feeling the pleasantness of the ocean. It wasn't hot like the sand, but it wasn't cold either, it was nicely warmed and just felt so perfect on his skin. "This is nice." He said as he stopped before Navia, and ran a hand along the waters surface.<br/><br/>The weren't too deep into the water, at thigh height he could still sit down, and after having spent a long walk through the jungle, and feeling the sun beating down on him right now. The desire to sit down in the water and let it take the edge off was far too appealing to resist. With a groan Théadan let himself fall back into the surf, the water catching him, and his hands outstretched behind him to prop him up in a seated position, looking up at Navia with a smile on his face. "The sun and heat is nice, but it can get a bit much at times." He raised a leg up so a toe could point out of the water as he took the moment to relax and enjoy. "Mmm, but this, this is a nice blend of the two. I could get used to this..."
