Navia had adjusted herself to regard him, he could see out of the corner of his eye how she had turned herself to open her posture, as he spoke of their future home, and  the Mes'Mo'Tanian religion. His intention had been to make some idle conversation, but the sunset had brought forth something far deeper than he had originally considered. She reminded him, Mandira was by the sea, but Théadan still doubted how welcome he would be within the capital of Khlurios, which was why he was thankful to hear Navia give due comsideration to how well he might adapt to the climate, suggesting they might seek a home further north.<br/><br/>When she directed the topic back towards the Mes'Mo'Tanian religion, the frown on her face surprised him. There was some worry there, and it was only when Navia asked whether they would be together in future lives, did he understand. It was the thought of them being parted. He had wanted the view of his religion to give Navia wonder, but it had given her pause for concern instead, and so Théadan gave her his undivided attention as he tried to explain. "Gods are a force of nature - they are nature."<br/><br/>Gods didn't care for the whims of people, they had larger plans which extended far beyond the machinations of Kings and Queen. All the world moved according to their will, benevolent or otherwise, the gods did as they pleased. "I've never known them to answer specific prayers, but they do create miracles in unexpected ways at unexpected times, because they will it. It's not unheard of for gods to bind two souls together through the ages. And if the gods desire our souls to remain together for all eternity, then that is how it will be." He said softly, and reached for her hand to hold and intertwine their fingers. "I can't know what lives may have come and gone, but I will appreciate every moment I spend with you in this one." And they had a long future to look forward too, of that much he was certain. "You enrich me Alu'wei."<br/><br/>Théadan pressed his lips to hers in the hopes he had given her some reassurance, and it would make up for any worry he had given her. He withdrew only a moment later before taking her arm in his, and turning to be at her side. "We should talk about places we might call home later, when we have time to discuss all the idyllic places we could conjure in our imaginations." He had a list of things forming in his mind that would make for an ideal home, and perhaps as they travelled through Khlurios they might spy a place they both like. "For now we should move on, and not keep our Captain waiting any further." He said, and eased her away from the railing as the sky was slowly draining of its colour. "Besides, I don't know about you but I'm famished."
