Navia's smile was soft, inviting, her eyes roaming over Théadan, he could see how she admired and appreciated how the water ran down over his skin with his chest recently rising from the water. She reached out a hand to feel it for herself, her eyes looking up to study his. She answered his question with a shrug, explaining all the animals represented by the gods were considered their children, and sacred to the Khluri. Théadan had come to understand just how much sacred creatures could mean to the Khluri, even something like Sura's necklace was of such high importance to Navia that she had gone to great lengths to carry it and keep it safe. He couldn't help but think of the many sacred animals that likely would have been hunted during the war by Mes'Mo'Tanians, be it for their skins, or meat. Another wound they had inflicted upon the nation Khlurios without even realising it.<br/><br/>There were more stories of the gods that Navia could tell, written into books, or pictured in an art form. There was much Navia would have to show him when they had the chance, and even more for him to learn. Théadan wanted the opportunity to show the Khluri the respect his country had never shown them, but first that would require learning their ways, their history, their culture, and most importantly, their language. Navia's lips brushed against his as she tempted him with other stories she knew, only to tell him she was starting to get cold. He honestly hadn't noticed, the temperature had felt good to him, in these waters he felt he could laze in them all day, but Théadan did not want his lover to be uncomfortable, though by the grin on her lips, and the way her hands moved from his sides to run along his back, she had other ideas for how he could help warm her up.<br/><br/>Sure enough Navia was suggesting he either helped warm her, or let her off the seat. Théadan smirked as he realised as long as he was there before her, his hips between her knees, she could not go anywhere unless he let her. It was awfully tempting to tease Navia over this, but after telling him a sweet story, and giving him a nice massage, Théadan was in a mood to return Navia's kindness. "We do have a life time together to hear these stories," He said with a smile, looking forward to hearing more of them in the days ahead. They were in no rush to hear them though, "They can wait, I can't let my Alu'wei get cold, but then I do enjoy how cool the water is. So I suppose I'll have to help warm you up." There was little else for it, if they were both to enjoy being in the grotto for a little while longer, he would have to help his lover stay warm, and with the scent of the flowers outside in the air, and the pleasant sound of the waterfall behind him, Théadan wanted to make the most of their privacy.<br/><br/>"Hmm but how to do so?" He mused, pretending as though he didn't already have some very obvious plans for how he could possibly help Navia to warm up. "My lover is so used to the heat of a Khluri day, what could I possibly do that would give her a comparable warmth? Fill her with the same heat?" Before they had even passed into the jungle it had been absolutely boiling to Théadan's senses, but Navia did not seem to mind the heat in the slightest. His hand slid up the side of her body, trailing a wet wake behind it as it moved up behind her back, and he shifted himself a little closer to Navia, their noses briefly rubbing together, his lips coming enticingly close to hers, but never quite touching, instead pressing a soft kiss to her cheek before touching her ear. "All I have with which to warm you, is my body, my lips, and my love." He whispered into her ear and pressed his body to hers so her breasts pillowed against his chest, and their abdomens touched. "Here's the warmth of my body," He said softly, "If you want the rest to help warm you, you need only ask."
