Even though Théadan passed the credit for the new saddle pad to Wyndagar instead of keeping it for himself, Navia did not fully believe him. There must have been something he’d liked about the pretty blue cloth. Still it made her laugh to think the horse wanted to be regarded as a hero for helping to return her to her country. “Well he certainly is a hero,” she agreed, thinking of all the times Wyndagar had selflessly helped them. He’d tried to protect her from the Beast and had alerted others that she was being attacked, he’d helped Théadan on the battlefield more times than she had known, and he had been instrumental in them surviving the Beast’s final attack. For that alone, Navia pressed an affection kiss to the horse’s snout while they walked.<br/><br/>It sounded smart to find food after they found the map, so Navia was nodding absently as they neared the end of the first aisle of the market. It brought them to a building that was vacant, so most people were curving to go to the next aisle without stopping. Théadan’s question of what they had been talking about caused her to pause there though, and guide Wyndagar out of the way in case anyone needed to get by them so she could turn and give Théadan her full attention. She had known he would not allow her to go far without explaining what had been exchanged between her and the Khluri woman, and that was what she had wanted anyway. He deserved to know what had been said about him; she had simply chosen to make it a bit of a wait for him instead of telling him right away.<br/><br/>“Weeeell…..” Navia glanced around them suspiciously as if what she was to tell him was highly sensitive. Even though they had stopped in a less busy area, people were still walking past them to go further into the markets. Happy to let him think it was so secretive that they would need to be away from other people, Navia reached for Théadan’s hand, “Come on.” She didn’t go far, simply around Wyndagar so they were between him and the wall of the old shop, and Navia trusted the horse to stay still while they went to face him on his other side. “All right, so the woman was very interested in you,” Navia admitted to begin with,  stepping closer to him and bringing her voice down as if she had a huge secret to share.<br/><br/>Hands reached out to smooth his clothing while she moved in near. In all honesty after what the woman had said to her and how she had gone to see for herself what the woman was seeing, Navia had wanted to kiss him ever since, leaving her to draw in more. Perhaps it was the elation they were finally in Khlurios that stoked her desires for Théadan. Whatever it was, Navia couldn’t keep from running her hands down his chest, pretending to straighten his shirt while really enjoying the musculature beneath. “She liked your jokes about the dresses,” Navia revealed, smiling up at Théadan and knowing he would like that, “She said you were charming.” Which he was, so she had agreed. Then she had paid, the woman had placed the purchase in her hands, and the woman had spoken to her again. Smile pulling into a knowing grin, she rose onto her toes to bring their faces closer, her eyes on his lips as her arms slid around his neck to help her maintain her balance, “Then she said you were handsome and I was very lucky to have you in my bed at night.” To which she had replied that she had thought so as well, but if he had been watching closely enough to notice their exchange, he had likely heard her say it.
