Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

<A little tired and sore, but nothing like that first full moon.> Dayn rubbed his head against the back of Arryn's neck as he started to purr. <But having you curled up against me and petting my neck is helping.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered only slightly at first, enjoying the odd sensation. "I'm glad I could help. With your exhaustion and all, I was worried...." arryn paused for a moment, then said, "You know, love... I think I figure out why I was so tired recently...."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn had noticed the slight shiver and continued to rub against Arryn's neck. <Oh? What would that be?>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and arched her neck a bit. "Well, I've been really lenient with my magic, and we do have a bond... I noticed I could feel some of your emotion during your trial... I think I may not have cut off my magic connection after healing you, and... well, I think I may have taken some of your exhaustion. It never occurred to me, since you're not a mage, or horribly wounded, it shouldn't have been likely, but... with our connection... I guess...."

 

[BookWyrm]

<That would explain why I seem to be bouncing back quicker.> It made sense. They shared a very strong connection to each other, but Dayn hadn't expected her to feel some of his emotion during the trial. <I hope it wasn't bad for you, with the trial I mean.> Dayn had an idea and pulled his head back slightly before sticking his nose down the neck of her shirt and laying his muzzle against her back.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn's back straightened up a bit. "Was there a point to that besides taking my source of warmth for my face and putting it against my back? Anyway, I barely felt anything. Much more muted down than however you feel my emotions."

 

[BookWyrm]

<This was the point.> Dayn licked down the back of her spine before pulling his nose out and tucking his head over her's again. He had to say that he was glad that she hadn't felt the full brunt of the emotional toll. He didn't want Arryn to have to go through that.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn's back straightened even more as she shuddered. "Now my back is cold." She shifted about a bit, putting her back against his side as much as possible. "Better."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn reached out and laid his paw against Arryn's back where he had licked her before curling around her a little tighter. <Mm, I'm a happy wolf right now.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn reached back and took his paw, bringing it over to her front. She rubbed her thumb over his palm slowly. "And I'm a happy wife right now."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn relaxed as he sighed, content to be snuggled up with his wife. Despite the size difference between his paw and Arryn's hand her touch still was just as delicate and his feeling just as responsive. Dayn let her rub over his palm on the one hand and reached up with is other and gently laid it against her back and gently rub his thumb against her skin. Next he tried something new. He gently pressed to tips of his claws gently against her skin and traced gently across her back just once. Despite doing it without drawing blood he didn't want to risk it a second time.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn arched her back a bit. "That felt... interesting...? Not bad, but, not good, I'm afraid."

 

[BookWyrm]

<It was just an experiment. Unlike my occasional tail twitch, though, I won't be doing it again.> Dayn tucked his head against her and purred contently, though he did sneak to tip of his tail up behind her legs and wiggled it against the small of Arryn's back.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn had closed her eyes and smiled, only to feel his tail on her back. She giggled a bit at his silliness, and kissed under his chin. He knew to stop without her having to swat at his tail.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn chuckled quietly before continuing to purr as he licked Arryn's neck. <Are you warm or do you want the blanket as well?>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his chin a bit. "Well... I'd kind of like the blanket. More for cuddliness than anything." It didn't make much sense, she knew, but to her it seemed like that would take an extra concern off Dayn's shoulders and allow them to cuddle completely relaxed.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn stood up and walked over before picking up the cover in his mouth and walking back to Arryn. He draped the cover over her before crawling under it and curling up around her again, sliding his head between her arms and nuzzling up under her chin. He knew she would probably move to her normal spot, but he wanted to get in nuzzling of his own before hand.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn hugged him happily, kissing his brow before shifting about to put her head under his chin and her arms around his neck. She slowly petted along his fur and buried her face in his fur.

 

[BookWyrm]

This was what Dayn loved about being a wolf and cuddling with his wife. Arryn's arms around his neck, her gently petting and running her hands through his fur, and then her burying her face in his fur. Dayn purred, quite loudly in a very content fashion as he curled around her both protectively and lovingly. Dayn knew it wouldn't be long before either of them would be out, but he couldn't help but try to hold out until Arryn was asleep first.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn got comfortable again holding his paw and rubbing her thumb over his palm slowly while her other hand petted along his neck. After a while, she caught herself nodding off. She cuddled against him one final time before letting herself drop off into sleep.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn's purring quieted down when he noticed Arryn was finally asleep. Giving a content huff he closed his eyes and drifted happily to sleep, his wife snuggled against him safe and sound.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn woke up early, about an hour before dawn. She nuzzled against Dayn a bit, pulling the blankets up and cuddling up to him again. She was scared to wake him. Sure, he was better, but he just got over his exhaustion, besides, he deserved rest. It didn't take her long to fall asleep again though, despite her worrying over Dayn.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn woke about an hour after dawn. He yawned in his normal wolfish fashion before looking down at Arryn, who was still cuddled against him and asleep. His first inclination was to let her rest, but he also knew that they needed to go hunting again, as well as get some supplies from the market. He decided that if he was going to wake her he wanted her to wake up pleasantly. He rubbed his head against the back of her neck and purred quietly before licking her neck and cheek.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled, opening her eyes to look at Dayn before reaching up and scratching behind his ears. She stretched, then curled up again, burying her face in his fur.

 

[BookWyrm]

<Although I love that feeling, what are you looking for if you don't mind me asking?> Dayn leaned back, pulling away far enough to see Arryn, before sticking his nose down the front of her shirt. <Kind of like this right?> He huffed before licking her from her chest up to her neck.
