"You know, this is a lot better." Snuggling up against you, Renya whispered. She put her arms around your waist. Her nose nuzzled your neck.

You both felt that going on a stargazing date was a logical gesture, and that you two needed an escape from the obligations that come with being a praetor.   Renya popped a date into her mouth as she continued to snuggle against you. She was never to be this clingy and soft around you in public. Even though you both were partners, she wasn’t really affectionate.   She let out an airy chuckle as she gently pulled away from you. She smiled softly at you as she lay back down against the blanket on the grass. She glanced up at the stars, the stars reflecting off her eyes. You couldn’t help but stare.   “But seriously, though, I never thought you'd do this for me.” Renya smirked, propping herself up with her elbows, her long brown hair flowing freely on her shoulders. On rare occasions, she would wear her hair out of her normal single braid.   "Well," she started. She ran her fingers through her hair and rummaged through the picnic basket she brought. She pulled out a bunch of paintbrushes and painted; she showed them off. “I decided we should paint each other’s faces.”   Renya rolls her eyes and moves closer to you. She opens a fresh bottle of paint. She smiled softly at you, and she tilted her head to the side. “Stay still for me.” She spoke gently. She moved the paint brush across your face as she dapbed paint onto your face.   Her eyes stared into yours; she was completely focused on painting your face. The bristles on the brush tickled your nose as you couldn’t help but scrunch up your nose. She chuckled softly at you. “Sorry.” She whispered, and she continued to paint on your face.
