Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

"I can do that.", Dayn replied as he pulled the blanket up around them and snuggled up against Arryn.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn wished she had been able to purr. She closed her eyes, enjoying his warmth. "This was such a nice day...."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Yes it was." Dayn started to lightly rub his fingers up and down Arryn's neck as they lay together. "I'm thinking it is going to be a nice night as well. Just you and me, together and happy."

 

[Dragongal]

"Mm... I don't think I can stay awake much longer." Arryn chuckled a bit as she nuzzled against his neck.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Don't fight it then. I love it when you fall asleep in my arms." Dayn sunk down into the bed and got comfortable before continuing to rub Arryn's neck.

 

[Dragongal]

arryn arched her neck a bit, then sighed and relaxed against him, closing her eyes and letting herself fall asleep.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn kissed Arryn's lips tenderly before laying his head against hers and closing his eyes. "Sleep well my love."

 

[Dragongal]

In the morning, Arryn struggled to wake up, wanting to simply return to sleep. Finally she opened her eyes, smiling at Dayn before lightly kissing him. "Morning, mo chroi."

 

[BookWyrm]

The kiss had woken Dayn for sure, but he remained in the same position, doing his best not to smile or give away the fact that he was awake. Of course he knew Arryn could probably tell by his breathing that he was awake, but he was still going to play this out.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled, knowing full well that Dayn was awake, and rolled over, off of him and facing away from him, playing at going back to sleep.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn opened an eye and frowned, though he knew Arryn was playing along. Could he wait long enough to make her attempt again? Dayn lay there for several long, quiet seconds, waiting to see if Arryn would roll back over. Finally he felt the absolute desire to hug his wife consume him. He rolled over and wrapped his arms around Arryn before nuzzling against her neck.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled widely, putting her hands over his. "Good morning, mo chroi." I won.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Good morning love." Dayn kissed Arryn's ear before nuzzling against her neck again.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn ran her fingers lightly over his hand and up his arm, back and forth. "I like it when you do that. Though I like facing you too." Arryn carefully rolled around to face nlhim, nuzzling against his neck and putting her head under his chin. "Still want to go looking for a house together?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Yes, but we can take a little bit of time to enjoy the morning." Dayn was starting to get used to their morning routine. He had been enjoying the feeling of Arryn rubbing his arm, but now that she was facing him and nuzzled against his neck he found himself smiling contently as he started to rub her neck and along her back.

 

[Dragongal]

"Okay." Arryn closed her eyes and enjoyed Dayn's attention. "I think we'll have fun renovating the house."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I think we will too. But we have to find one first." Dayn pulled his head back so that he could kiss Arryn's lips. It was a slow kiss, not overtly passionate, but loving and gentle. He gently brushed his fingers along her cheek as they kissed. He wasn't trying to awaken passion, he just simply wanted to display his love in an intimate way.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn responded to the kiss happily. When they pulled away, she smiled and got close to him, pulling the blankets up. She put her head under his chin and smiled, taking his hand and holding it possessively to her chest.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn wrapped his free hand around Arryn and held gently rubbed along her neck. This was nice. "What type of bed do you want for our house?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn thought for a few moments, then said, "A big and warm one, with lots of blankets and pillows. And we'll need spare blankets and pillows for cuddling by the fire."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn gently ran his hand up Arryn's cheek to her ear before rubbing around it and gently pulling on it. "Big and warm, with lots of blankets and pillows.", Dayn said with a smile. "And plenty of spare blankets and pillows for blanket nests in front of the fire. I think that is doable."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled widely. "Once we get it in a good way, do you want to go to the city to buy some of the harder to get things? For good quality blankets and glass window panes and the like. Unless we wait for a large market day, which is much more expensive."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn thought for a few moments. "Yeah, I think we should be able to go to the city. I sent out those letters I was talking to you about, about my old investments. Which, by the way, if someone shows up asking for either of us, specifically a man traveling with an alphyn, he is a friend."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked at him for a moment. "An Alfyn? As in those hunting dogs?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn chuckled. "Well, they aren't exactly dogs, but yes. Why do you ask?"
