Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked around, walking over to the windows. "A bit if damage, but just cut some new wood and it'll be fine. This glass is very low quality, we can buy some panes in the city. Let's focus on getting some light in and cleaning up."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Opening it up won't be hard, but we still need to check over the rest of the house and the cellar. Thank the gods the roof is intact though, that spares us at least a weeks worth of work."

 

[Dragongal]

"Light a few candles maybe a fite... well have to check the chimneys.... overall, though, maybe not as much work as I thought."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn checked around the fireplace, noting that there was some fire woods still stacked nearby. He pulled out his tender box before catching himself and laughing. "Don't really need this any more." He stacked the wood in the fire place and lit the wood without a problem. He walked back outside and checked the chimney, smiling to see the smoke rising out without a hitch.


The rest of the week was spent fixing up the house as planned. Dayn did a thorough check over the roof, making patches here and there. They found everything they needed in the short visit to town, even coming away with a nicer bed than Dayn had expected to find. Their tub was made to the exact specs Dayn had designed for it. All in all the house cleaned up quite nicely, and by the end of the week they had moved everything over to the new house and stocked it with what supplies they needed.


Dayn squeezed Arryn's hand as they stood outside their new house. "Arryn, this is amazing. We have our first house now." Dayn scooped Arryn into his arms before walking through the door and standing in the main room of their new home. "We did all of this, together."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed and kissed Dayn's cheek. "Yes we did, and now it's ours. Just ours." There were still a few things they could add, like more chairs and tables, maybe some alchemy equipment, but it was still a very nice house. And they could definitely live in it. Lenza, Theodas, Kalie, and Matthias had offered help, but the couple had turned them down - it was theirs, after all.

 

[BookWyrm]

"I never expected it to feel like this. I feel....accomplished.", Dayn said as he smiled at Arryn. "We still need some more furnishings, but all in all it turned out nicely." Dayn slowly let Arryn stand on her feet before hugging her. "So...now that the work is over....what do you want to do?" Dayn laughed as he brushed a strand of Arryn's her from her face. "We've been so busy over the past few days that I'm at a loss as to what we should do."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn hugged Dayn back, then said, "Make dinner, cuddle on the new bed, take a bath in the larger tub...." Arryn kissed him lightly. "I have no preference."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Hmm." Dayn smiled as he gently rubbed his finger under Arryn's chin. "That bath sounds tempting."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn bent her head back, exposing more of her neck. "I like that idea."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn leaned down and gently kissed along Arryn's neck, his hand rubbing along at the side. "I'll get the water warmed up then." Dayn stole a quick kiss before walking off to tend to the water. Once it was ready he leaned his head out into the hall. "Arryn, its ready."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn walked into the bathing room, kissing Dayn's cheek before getting undressed and sliding into the hot water with a happy sigh. "Gods, this is nice. Care to join me?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn walked over and undressed as well, laying his clothes on the counter before easing himself into the water. He casually moved over next to Arryn and kissed her cheek. "This is amazing. I am beyond happy that we finally invested in this idea."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn leaned her head on his shoulder. "Agreed. I believe it was originally your idea, you genius."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Occasionally I'll come up with a good idea.", Dayn chuckled as he reached over and started to massage one of Arryn's hands.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn sighed contentedly and leaned more heavily on his shoulder, relaxing entirely against him.

 

[BookWyrm]

Once finished with her hands Dayn moved so that he could massage Arryn's neck and back.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn sighed as she melted back against Dayn. "Reminds me... how are your scars feeling?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"I can't complain really." Dayn smiled as he flexed his hand. "The skin around them is a little sensitive to touch though. It doesn't hurt or anything, it's just sensitive."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded, smiling roguishly before saying, "I'm glad you're okay now. But I didn't tell you to stop."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Mhm?" Dayn smiled as he placed his hands on either side of Arryn's spine and traced his fingers up to her neck before going around and up to circle around her ears before starting to massage her scalp and face.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shuddered a bit before turning and nuzzling up against his chest. "You know, at some point we should probably clean and get out."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to be honest. That way we can cuddle up on our new bed, which I have yet to lay on by the way." Dayn had let Arryn pick out the bed while he had gone after a couple of tools. By the time he got back to the house there was a bed in their bedroom.

 

[Dragongal]

"You'll like it. I promise." Once they had finished up, dried off, and dressed, Arryn walked into their room and flopped on the new bed.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn stood at the foot of the bed and looked at it carefully before flopping onto it beside Arryn. He sighed as his body sank into the bed. Dayn rolled over and laid his head against Arryn's shoulder. "You picked probably the most comfortable bed I have ever laid on."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and moved so she could cuddle up against him and nuzzle his neck. "I am very glad you approve."
