Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn shrugged. "I've just never seen one. I'm not overtly fond of hunting dogs, though.... Ironically too, considering...." Arryn hesitated a bit, then said, "One of the raids, they had this huge hunting dog, and... yeah... wasn't fun, or pretty...."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Well, alphyns aren't dogs. To be honest I'm not sure what they are. But they are extremely regal and well mannered." Dayn leaned down and kissed Arryn's neck lovingly. "Its okay love. You've got a wolf now."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and relaxed, not having realized she'd tensed up. The dog incident wasn't one she called to remember, having gotten her head backed into the ground and her friends injured, as well as some of those they were saving. "Good. I like my wolf."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Your wolf likes you as well.", Dayn said as he nuzzled against Arryn's neck. "I'd offer to let you snuggle with him, but I'm so comfy right now. Unless you want me to."

 

[Dragongal]

"No, I love my wolf, but I love my man too." Arryn lightly kissed his collarbone and wrapped her arms around Dayn's neck, nuzzling against him lightly. "I could just stay here forever.... but a big bathtub to fit two is honestly the only thing driving me to wake up."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Mm, yeah I'm excited for that myself." Dayn's arms slid around Arryn's waist as the relaxed together. "How about I treat my wife to breakfast today? We get dressed and head out, grab something to eat on our way to look at homes?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn propped up on her elbow to look at him for a few moments, taking in the fact that they were married. Sometimes she had to remind herself. She smile and kissed his cheek. "I would very much like that, dearest."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I very much like it when you call me dearest.", Dayn said as he wrapped his arms around Arryn's neck and pulled her into a kiss.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn returned the kiss, then said, "Okay, then, I'll call you it more often, dearest." She slowly pulled away from him, then said, "Let's get dressed and go. Ok?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn stretched out his back and arms and yawned before smiling. "Alright." Dayn got up out of the bed and meandered over to his clothes. He pulled out a black longsleeve shirt and a pair of black pants before holding them out to Arryn. "What do you think?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked at it for a few moments, then looked through his clothing and pulled out a cream longsleeve shirt. "There. We're not going to a funeral." For herself she chose a grey longsleeve shirt and black pants. She held her clothing choice out to Dayn. "What do you think?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed when Arryn mentioned the funeral. "Alright, this works." When she pulled out the grey shirt Dayn couldn't help but smile. "I like it. Good choice." Dayn turned to his clothes and dressed himself before sliding on his coat.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn pulled on her jacket and took his hand as they left the house. "So, where are you taking me for breakfast?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Where ever you want really.", Dayn said with a chuckle. He was still slightly unfamiliar with Rorich. With all the time they had spent in Rorich, most of it had been in recovery. "I figured that since I am treating my bride out to breakfast, she should pick the meal."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and walked into the small market district, bringing him to a tiny, cozy little tavern. An old swarf maid smiled ot her when they walked in. "Fáilte ar ais, Atria! Cé hé an fear seo a thabhairt duit? Chuala mé mar gheall ar an fiance? Conas is féidir liom cabhrú leat an dá maidin?" "Tá sé mo betrothed , ba mhaith linn roinnt bricfeasta do thoil." "Ar ndóigh!" The old dwarf led them to a small table for two by the fire, promising to bring out the breakfast spread momentarily. Arryn smiled to Dayn. "Hilgren only speaks Northern."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn took a deep breath of the smoky air and smiled, gently taking Arryn's hand as they rested on the table. "That's perfectly fine. As long as one of us know what he is saying at least."

 

[Dragongal]

Hilgren returned and laid out a spread of cut fruits, farls and jams, sausages, light pastries, and tea, earning a silver coin from Arryn. Hilgren left them alone and Arryn took a sip of her tea. "I always loved the tea here. Their sausages and pastries are fantastic, too. Very nostalgic for me, at the moment. Try some."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn took a sip of his tea, enjoying the bold flavor, before trying a bit of everything. "This is really good.", Dayn said as he looked up to Arryn and smiled. "Please, help yourself. This is my treat after all."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and took some of the pastries and fruits. When they had finished and everything was paid for, Arryn walked outside with Dayn, holding his hand. "Well, want to start near here and work our way toward the meadows and forests, or start there?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn took a moment to relax in the cool morning air. "Well if we are planning on looking more around the meadow and forests I think we should start there."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded and led him to the edge of the village, near the meadow and forests, more of a corner area, not far from their current residence. The first house had plenty of land, a moderate single floor with no cellar, in need of moderate repair, and it was rather expensive, the nearest neighbor being a moderate distance away. The second had less land, but a larger house with a good number of rooms, and a decent cellar, but was in need of a lot of repair, but was quite affordable. The nearest neighbor was a good distance off and it bordered the woods directly. The third was a small house with few rooms but lots of land, and no cellar, needing little repair, but was priced between the second and third, the nearest neighbor being rather close. When they had looked at the three, Arryn said, "I kind of like the second.... What do you think?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"It needed a good amount of repairs done to it, but I liked it actually. We could fix it to the way we wanted it, and it borders the woods directly so it would be easier to get in and out when we needed to." Dayn smiled as he rubbed Arryn's hand. "Is that the one you want?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled widely and nodded, excited at the prospect of getting their own home, and one that she liked so much. Now they just had to go to the elders and sign the papers.... "Dayn, one or two of the elders doesn't like me. But I think we'll be fine."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn patted the hilt of his sword. "That is why I brought this." As they walked towards the village Dayn sighed as a thought crossed his mind. "We do need to get to the ceremony sometime soon. We can't officially claim your nobility until there is at least one witness to our union. Don't get me wrong, we're married, and no one can take that away from us. But no one seems to pay attention to the old ways anymore."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn thought for a few moments, then nodded. "Well, technically I'm a lady if we acknowledge the Griffin line, but... I'd like a more... private wedding? Not a big affair, you know.... Is that okay with you?"
