When it was Runa's turn, she took her time with Arpious's hair, which was slightly shorter but thick and dark. She braided it with care, adding a few enchanted beads that glowed faintly.
The afternoon ended with the two lounging by the fire, wrapped in soft blankets and sipping a tea Runa had brewed earlier. The tea shimmered faintly, much like everything else in the hut, and tasted of honey and wildflowers.
"This was a good idea," Arpious acknowledged her voice a low hum as she leaned against Runa.
"I told you, didn't I?" Runa replied, stroking Arpious's hair.
As the fire crackled softly and the candles continued to cast their gentle glow, the two drifted into a peaceful silence, the weight of their adventures momentarily forgotten. The spa day had worked its magic, leaving them both utterly at ease and deeply connected.
