Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

Dayn woke up a couple of hours later. He smiled even before he opened his eyes. He could feel Arryn snuggled up against him. He quietly wrapped his arm around her before turning his head to kiss her cheek. Once he was nuzzled up against her again he drifted off once more into peaceful bliss.

 

[Dragongal]

In the morning, Arryn woke, surprised at how long she'd slept. She hadn't cast.... Was it their bond? Had she taken some of his exhaustion? It had seemed so. She lightly nuzzled agianst his cheek to gently wake him.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled before gently rubbing his hand over Arryn's back, reaching under her shirt to trace his fingers slowly up her ribs. "Good morning beloved."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shuddered under his touch. That was a new move, going for her ribs. "How are you feeling?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled before slowly moving his fingers up and down her ribs. "I can't complain too much. I have house to share with a beautiful wife who is cuddling with me at the moment. Can you think of a way for this to be better?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled as she continued to shudder. She kissed his cheek lightly. "Not really."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn leaned in to kiss Arryn's lips gently. "So, nothing with life. What else do you think I can do, though? I'm not going to start casting or anything, I'm just speculating."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn returned the kiss, regretting when they separated. "Well, in theory you could make a bunch of gold and we could get rich. Really though, let's keep it to flowers for now."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn rolled his eyes and laughed at the idea of making gold. "That is all I need. But, flowers I can do."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and nuzzled up against him. "Well, you make good flowers, love."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I wonder if I could create herbs?" Dayn was on a roll now. "Or...wait, no living things. Okay, I wonder if I could create dirt?"

 

[Dragongal]

"Well, I seem to have an apothercary with me on my travels now!" Arryn laughed.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed before wrapping his arms around Arryn and rolling her onto her back. He propped up on his elbows and looked down at her before leaning in and kissing her. He took his time, giving Arryn ample opportunity to join in.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn returned the kiss quickly, falling into it almost immediately as she wrapped her arms around him. This was a sudden turn she didn't mind in the least. She was glad he was feeling better.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn let the kiss last for a good couple of minutes before pulling away, though he did give Arryn another quick kiss afterwards before moving onto his side and laying his head against Arryn's chest. His arm lay across her mid section and his hand gently traced over her stomach as he relaxed. "I don't want a bunch of people knowing about this, but I wonder what all I could do to help others?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn thought for a few moments. "I don't know. You could make the materials so I could make medicine... could make money for the poor... I don't know...." She kissed his cheek to reassure him. "I'm sure you'll find a way."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I don't want to just do things though. People can become dependent on good deeds. I don't mind the idea of giving some money here and there, and I certainly don't mind helping you with materials and medicines, but I want there to be some kind of depth to what I do, and not just in my magic." Dayn looked over at Arryn and nuzzled against her happily. "Of course, there is depth to the love I have for you, my beloved."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled at the thought. "Knowing you, love, you'll find a way. Who knows, maybe you'll end up rewriting the knightly codes. But that's for later. Right now, it's just these four walls, you, and me. Right?" Arryn didn't want him getting ahead of himself, maybe trying something risky before he was ready. She wasn't sure hoe much he'd recovered from the butterfly cast either.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn stopped, took a deep breath, and exhaled before nuzzling against Arryn's cheek. "Thank you, love." She had caught him yet again. "I don't mean to get all worked up about things. I really do want to try and relax better."

 

[Dragongal]

"Well, just because you're relaxed, doesn't mean you can completely forget about things. It just means that you can't worry over things. At the moment, though, you should forget about things. It's just us, right?" She'd noticed that when he was extremely relaxed, he had a tendency of acting almost drunk.... though maybe that was the new magic...

 

[BookWyrm]

"Yes. It is just us." Dayn thought over what Arryn had said as he traced his fingers over her belly. "How is it you seem to keep such a cool head about things?"

 

[Dragongal]

"Well, I know that, in the end, I'll have an eternity with you, so, it's all going to be okay in the end. Besides, everything has a way of turning out alright. Worry only wastes energy; it doesn't change a damn thing." Arryn leaned in just enough to lightly kiss his lips before laying back again.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn thought over that for a few moments before smiling and burying his face against Arryn's neck. "I'm sorry love." She has no idea what's coming.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked at him for a moment, then said, "What are you sorry for, mo chroi?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn looked up at Arryn, nothing but pure mischief in his eyes. "This." Dayn started tickling Arryn mercilessly.
