Théadan could not help but smirk when Risho had to ask Navia to stop her playing with the wheel. The added nudge he gave her to move her away had Théadan noting how the captain took to protecting his ship over his usual reverance for his<i>Sitvati</i>. As Navia came to his side, Théadan added the tutting of his tongue just to tease her further as though she were child who had been scolded for playing around with what she shouldn't. Navia explained everything to Risho that had been lost between the languages, and he was soon nodding his head. There would be more Khluri and Mes'Mo'Tanians, but it surprised Théadan to learn they would see Marroans and Iradocians. Considering some of Navia and his passed teasing games, Théadan was sure there would be opportunity for more of the same once they arrived in Terlingua.<br/><br/>Expectations of the island took a slight worrying turn when Risho gave a clear warning to them both. Iradocians were known to steal women at this island to take them to a place Théadan had never even heard of before. "Gulasva." He repeated after Risho, learning the place so he could be wary of it in future. Risho took extra care to make sure he understood to remain close to Navia at all times. It was something Théadan wholeheartedly agreed with, but he had his doubts Navia would be quite so comfortable with that. Each time they had gone to the markets in places they had stopped, it was Navia who suggested they split up. Théadan supposed it was so they could buy each other gifts, and that they could come back and talk about what they had each dicovered on their own.<br/><br/>"Yes." Théadan nodded in agreement with Risho, before adding in a quieter and dryer tone. "We wouldn't want someone stealing Navia away." He gave her a glance, and rememebered how their entire adventure had started before mumbling, "Again..." Théadan cleared his throat, and stood a little straighter to show Risho he took his warnings seriously, and hopefully assure him Navia would not be stolen away on that island, "I'll stay close to Navia just in case. But hopefully nothing untoward will happen during our time there, and we can just enjoy ourselves." With no more questions dor Risho, Théadan gave the Captain a small bow. "Thank you for your recommendations, Risho, we'll certainly take the opportunity to stroll the markets, and look at that tavern you recommend."<br/><br/>Théadan waited until Risho's attention had returned to the ship and its heading, before he leaned over to Navia to get her attention. "There are times when it is so very obvious you have royal blood in you." He stated with humour in his voice. From the moment he had met her, Navia liked to take the lead, to march to her own beat, and strike her own path, even when she did not know where she was going. It was a quality Théadan found attractive in her, and extremely enjoyable when it created moments like her fiddling with the wheel of a ship that she had no experience sailing. "When you see an opportunity to lead the way, you're practically compelled to do it." Théadan said, having to tease her for it, before he turned his body to face her, and rested his elbow on the beam. "So what do you make of Terlingua? I've never seen someone from Marros before." A chance to meet a whole new people, the thought was exciting to Théadan, there was much to look forward to with this stop.
