Their nights sleep went without any interruption, much to Théadan's relief. The threats cast by those men had been empty, and little more than the vented anger of a drunk, or so Théadan decided to reason. His rest had been peaceful, and while tired in the early morning, he did have the pleasure of seeing a very sour faced Navia begrudgingly waking for the day. Cranky or not he still found her demeanour both humourous and endearing. She quickly perked up however once she was putting on her new Khluri dress, even admiring how it looked on her in the mirror. Théadan was happy to watch his lover dress and adjust the way it fit on her until she was comfortable in it. The happiness she took in wearing something more like what she was accustomed to wearing pleased Théadan, he could see the pleasure she took in it. It was something so small and simple, but clearly important to Navia.<br/><br/>Once he too was dressed, and they had themselves all packed up and ready to leave, Navia was able to procure them a breakfast from the innkeeper to take with them. He would repeatedly glare daggers at him whenever their eyes met, but that looked to be all the innkeeper intended on doing, and so Théadan paid it little heed, instead waiting patiently for Navia to finish their dealings while listening to check the tone did not change to anything more aggressive as an indication things might have been going wrong. They were back on the horses and travelling southeast again in a short time, the horses happy and fed, with no signs of any Khluri following after them with a malicious intent. Théadan allowed his watchful gaze to  relax once the inn was out of sight and they had traveled a few miles.<br/><br/>In the afternoon, Théadan had been really feeling the heat, reminded of just how strong and relentless it could be on travellers, and how difficult it had been for soldiers under his command. He had just finished wiping some sweat from his brow when Navia pointed out how the trees had begun to change. Indeed they were vastly different from the ones in Mes'Mo'Tan, these seemed to be getting progressively taller, the foliage thicker, their canopies vast and sprawling. It was reassuring to hear they would be heading into the shade of these trees soon, Théadan had already drank much of his waterskin, a little shade would help keep him cooler for sure. The little bit of added information that they might come across the fruit Théadan had rated so highly was a welcome bit of news. "Really?" He said with a little excitement, perking up with the news. "Oh I haven't had a taste of those pineapples in a long time. If the spa does have them, or if we come across them, we must have one!" Perhaps even more, when it came to that golden fruit, Théadan was feeling a little greedy. "Besides, I believe you and I still have an agreement regarding pineapples, the sky, and us."<br/><br/>They had made many plans for Khlurios it seemed, but their little discussion about pineapples, still ranked among Théadan's favourite. Unfortunately the sun was still beating down on him, making his life extremely uncomfortable. He had long since stopped wearing the furs that made up much of Mes'Mo'Tanian clothing, they were dreadful in the heat, but still he did continue to  wear other Mes'Mo'Tan clothing, and that too was still proving to be quite hot in the sun. Occasionally he could feel a trickle of sweat run down his back, or chest, he now only wore his trousers and a loose white shirt, to any Mes'Mo'Tanian, he would be under dressed, he only hoped the Khluri culture was not so inhibiting. "Some shade beneath some trees in the mean time sounds awfully nice." Théadan said, looking towards the treeline with a jealous eye, imagining how much cooler it must be beneath the canopy. "My clothes are not so well suited for this sun, you look very at ease beneath it though." He said, taking the opportunity to cast his eyes over his bronze skinned lover. Navia looked perfectly content beneath the sun, maybe there was something in that flowing dress, with its open back that made the sun more bearable for her.
