He came chasing after her, just as she had presumed he would do. Théadan was grousing about her always splashing him though, and acting as though she’d ruined a perfectly serene moment for him. Perhaps she had, and she would likely do it again some other time just to try to get a rise out of him, but Navia took issue with his whining about her always splashing him. “How many times did you dunk me yesterday?” She demanded to know with a laugh, “You deserve every splash I send your way!” And seeing he was closing the distance between them, Navia went to wade further out into the water, allowing it move up closer to her navel until she suddenly heard Théadan behind her, his outstretched hand brushing against her rear just as he splashed down violently and sprayed her with cool ocean water.<br/><br/>A shriek of alarm left her before she could help it and Navia swung around to see how close he was while pushing her newly wet hair back from her face. Théadan had fallen completely and she could only guess he had lunged at her to try to catch her before she could go too far out into the water. With laughter pouring from her dark lips, she bent to try to help him situate himself and rise up from the water again. She found it cute that he had fallen short of catching her and ended up face first in the water. Her hands found his upper arms and she helped guide him up to the surface. “What is this?” She asked with a laugh, reaching out to help push his hair back from his face so she could look into his pretty green eyes, “Have you decided that since you cannot catch me to dunk me, you’ll just do it to yourself?”<br/><br/>She did not move in closer despite the urge to be sweet to him after he’d taken a fall into the water. Théadan could not be trusted to not take advantage and send Navia plunging into the water to get back at her for splashing him and calling him a kitten. Instead she took a couple nonchalant steps back from him, fingers of one hand trailing in the seawater while the other hand pushed at some of the loosened tendrils of her wet black hair. Navia stepped backwards however, not fully trusting Théadan enough to turn away from him in case he decided to lunge at her again. Once the water had reached her navel, she stopped. The sun was bright above them, silhouetting Théadan and giving his outline an interesting glow that had her studying him briefly. She always felt lucky to have him in her life, but there were sometimes little moments that left her in awe of what she had found with him.<br/><br/>After a few long moments of staring at him, she suddenly grinned at him and sent him one small, taunting little splash. “Well, what do you think, prince? Shall I teach you to swim?” Her eyebrows wiggled at him a little to tease him some before she gestured at the water surrounding them, “This is the perfect spot to do it, I think. The water isn’t very high, that way if you get nervous, you can just stand up. We should start with learning to float. All you have to do is lie back in the water and relax.” It was an easy enough way to start in her mind, everyone could float. And she didn't even have to do any real instruction with it! So Navia waited expectantly to see if Théadan would be able to do what she suggested.
