It was pleasant just resting there together on their makeshift bed. The barn was quiet but for them and the rain, Théadan could happily just listen to Navia's breathing as they let sleep come over them. But their conversation was an interesting one, and tomorrow was a big day, anticipation and nerves were likely something they were both feeling. Sleep was not going to come quite as quickly as it usually did when they wore out their bodies by indulging in each others. Navia agreed a tour of the palace would be a good place to start, though only after they changed their clothes to something more appropriate. That Kazim expected other nobles to be well dressed made Théadan briefly wonder if the man would have issues with him wearing clothes more befitting a Mes'Mo'Tanian, or whether he too would be expected to dress in colourful garb, perhaps with a few bits of jewelery. There was going to be a need to try and adapt to the new culture on his part.<br/><br/>Navia's tone shifted a little as she thought about what others would think of her when she arrived home. She seemed to worry about the changes she had gone through on their journey, how it had affected her, and what they would think of her once they finally saw her again. The lifetime of being able to have whatever she desired while a noble in Khlurios was a world of difference to the life she had been forced to live these passed few months. But if anything Théadan felt she should be proud of it, she had adapted, stood on her own two feet, and never cowered from anything Mes'Mo'Tan threw at her. She had always been strong in the face of adversity, and done all she could for the sake of both their survival. He could not think of her ever truly complaining about not having any of the former comforts she once had.<br/><br/>When Navia brought up her worries what he might think, whether it all would make him uncomfortable, or he might not enjoy her in Mandira like he had while they traveled, Théadan shook his head refusing to believe such a thing could ever happen. "I love you." He stated matter of factly. "I. Love. You." He repeated, punctuating each word with a kiss to her neck. "I love all sides of who you are, and I will still love you in Mandira regardless if being among your peers might cause you to behave a little different to the way I've been used too." There just was no way he might dislike something about her, everything Théadan had come to learn of Navia he had liked about her in some way, whether it was her teasing habits, or knack for stealing from him, it always somehow endeared him to her all the more. "As far as I'm concerned, I get to look forward to meeting another side of your personality, and get to love that too."<br/><br/>How other people viewed her change was something he could not predict however. He did not know the Khluri people, he did not know her friends, but he could still find ways to reassure her worries. "I'm sure this journey has changed you, you've certainly acquired a few new skills, as well as a very handsome lover, and a little more on top of that." He spoke honestly, pairing the truth with all the good changes that had happened to her, his hand running down to caress the bump of her abdomen to further make his point. "You have changed, but you're still you. What you should bare in mind though, is it has been a long time since you've seen your friends and family, their lives will not have stopped while we had our journey, they may well have gone through changes of their own." They had not heard from her in months, and likewise she had not heard from them, who knows what events had unfolded in their lives during that time. Navia would not be the only with stories to tell.<br/><br/>"The way I see it, there will be three big conversations to be had with your family and friends." Théadan nuzzled himself a little closer, closing his eyes as he breathed in her scent, airing his thoughts for Navia to consider. "The first will be how did you get back to Khlurios." It would be the obvious subject, the one that would immediately come up. "The second will be on our relationship." That was going to be a shock to the system for many, Théadan was confident of that, but it was one he knew they were going to be open about from the moment they set foot in Mandira. They had fought so hard to have this relationship of theirs, they weren't about to hide from it. "And the third will be about our child." This was the subject that gave Théadan pause though, his hand still idly caressing the bump. He felt very protective of it, and wondered whether it would be best to delay delivering that news to anyone else for a time. "I think the first two will already be quite a shock for them all, telling them we have a child on the way too might be a bit more than they can handle. Perhaps we should refrain from telling them until people are a bit more used to us being together?"
