Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

"Not going to say no to that," Arryn sighed happily as he worked. She was very certain she had the best husband ever.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Good, because it was either agree to the massage or endure being tickled again." Dayn smiled as he started in to the deeper tissue work. Arryn's body had finally adjusted to his touch and received it very well. To add to the moment Dayn quietly sang quietly in the Southern language.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled, enjoying the moment. After a bit, though, she quietly asked, "So, can we start swordwork yet...? Or does my shoulder need more time?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"We can give it a shot. Worst thing that could happen is we have to wait for a bit longer."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and sighed happily at the thought, enjoying Dayn's work. That would be fun, sparring with Dayn. She'd promised not to go too fast though, and that would be a challenge for her. But now she could spar with Dayn, something she thought he'd enjoy, and protect him better and she very much liked that idea.

 

[BookWyrm]

After a few more minutes Dayn stopped, leaned down, and kissed the back of Arryn's neck before snuggling up against her. "You are amazing."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn reached around and took his hand, gently pulling him off of her so she could cuddle up against him and nuzzle against his neck, still holding his hand. "Thank you, beloved."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn let her lay against him for several minutes before he reached out and caressed her cheek. "Love, we do need to go hunting today, if nothing else. Once we are done we can see about your sword arm, okay?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and kissed his cheek. She was excited for the day now that this prospect was out there. "Market first, then hunting. Market closes after a while. Can we afford some pears, love? They're a tad expensive...."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn shrugged. "Pears are no problem. Just one of the benefits of nobility love. You have access to my wealth now, not that you didn't to begin with." Dayn wondered if Arryn realized fully that she was nobility now. If not he wondered when it would finally sink in.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn paused. "You have that much money on you?" She wasn't one to waste money anyway, as she'd shown when his helmet had been broken. In the end, she knew she'd always be thrify, but being able to buy some more expensive things was nice.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Not exactly," Dayn laughed, "But I've done some investing in some nearby towns and businesses that needs to be reclaimed. Most of it is back home though."

 

[Dragongal]

"Well...." Arryn blushed a bit, admitting, "I was actually thinking I could take up wireworking again, earn us a bit of money while we're here... I can teach you, if you like." She wanted to see if she could still do it, and even if it was just simple work, she had always enjoyed it.

 

[BookWyrm]

"I think that'd be fun. It gives me another excuse to get close to you." Dayn nuzzled against Arryn's neck before kissing her lips, taking a few moments to make it a little more passionate, before rolling off the bed and onto his feet. "Alright, markets, hunting, then we get to do the fun stuff. Oh," Dayn tossed her the shirt with a smile, "That view is mine only. Best cover it up before we leave."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled at the thought of teaching him, then grinned wryly at his last comment. "Sometimes you make me wonder if I should even let you have the view." She pulled on her clothing and braided her hair quickly, tying it back with the grey hair ribbon.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn turned, grabbing his chest like he'd been wounded. "My love, why do you wound me so?" His smile said he knew she was playing, and the kiss he planted on her lips said that he loved it when she played back. "That ribbon looks good in your hair.", Dayn said as he gently slid his arms around her neck and played with her braid.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his neck. "I thought so. Someone I love very dearly gave it to me." She laughed a bit as he played with her braid, which was an odd feeling.

 

[BookWyrm]

"So this makes you laugh?" Dayn played with her braid even more before kissing her neck. He led her to the door, assisted her into her coat before getting into his own and wrapping his scarf around his neck as he opened the door. "Lead on my love."

 

[Dragongal]

"Alright." Arryn smiled and took his hand, leading him outside and to the markets. Of course the first thing she did was buy pear pastries for them to share. After that she went straight to buying some copper and brass wire and a few loose gems - none of any real value.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn let Arryn lead, though he did help with the shopping and most of the carrying of the items purchased. He did appreciate the pastry though. "We seem to have found just about everything. Is there something else we might need?"

 

[Dragongal]

"No, we're good." Arryn kissed his cheek and started the walk home. Before they went inside, though, Arryn got an idea. "You go on ahead inside, I'll be there in a few minutes, okay?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn looked at Arryn cautiously, but finally kissed her cheek before walking into the house and putting the groceries up before tending to the fires. "What is she working on now?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn went over to Matthias and Kalie's house, finding them home. She spoke to Kalie quickly, Kalie happily agreeing to her request and giving her the requested item. Arryn returned to their house, putting the item in her pocket and taking off her coat.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn had slipped out the back and was getting in some much needed practice with his sword. He had worked through his traditional drills and had spread out into a set that he had created himself. Taking what he had learned from Arryn, as well as drawing from unorthodox techniques he'd studied, Dayn had managed to create something completely unique. Despite the chill Dayn had left his shirt inside, instead being out in nothing but his pants and boots. Little did he know that Arryn had returned though..

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn paused, looking around. Where was he? She walked around a bit, then noticed him through a window. "It's too cold for that.... Oh well." Arryn started on her surprise, going into the kitchen and using the recipe Kalie had given her, preparing the mushroom soup and shepherd's pie.
