Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn sat up next to him and took his hand before standing, gently pulling him to stand up. "Well, we'll just see what we have in the kitchen!"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn stood up and leaned against Arryn as he said, "Okie dokie." He followed Arryn into the kitchen before sitting up on the counter. "Hmm....I vaguely remember having some hams cured and just waiting for be cooked. We've also got some eggs from the market." Dayn smiled as he slumped forward and rested his chin on his hands. "Then again, we still have pudding left over." Dayn's stomach rumbled in protest. "Well, apparently my stomach says no to the pudding."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and kissed Dayn's cheek before sorting through the pantry. She pulled out some eggs, ham, cheese, and peppers. "I saw this in the south, it's called a skillet, I believe."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Mhm.", Dayn mumbled as he over exaggerated his nodding. "They are goooood tooooo." Dayn slid down from the counter and walked over to Arryn's side before pulling out one of their pans. "I'll help out. They are fun to make."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn giggled. "You're acting so goofy, mo fhear céile." Arryn laid out the ingredients and began cutting them into small bits for the skillet.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled when Arryn pointed out his goofiness. "Yep." He cracked the eggs and dumped them into the pan before beating them. Once Arryn had chopped the other ingredients into chunks they put them in with the eggs and Dayn stuff the pan into the over. Once the food was cooking Dayn turned back to Arryn and smiled in his current goofy and lazy fashion as he walked over and hugged her.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and returned the hug. "You're so cuddly right now, I love it."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Good, cause I don't plan to stop right now." Dayn gave Arryn one more good squeeze before stepping back slightly, his hands sliding down to her own as he gently held her fingers. He swung their arms back and forth as he leaned forward and nuzzled her cheek.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn giggled and nuzzled him back. "Eat, cuddle, sleep... I like the sound of that."

 

[BookWyrm]

"We are technically on our honeymoon, so we can get away with all the cuddling and sleeping that we wan't." Dayn looked up at Arryn with his mismatched eyes, something lingering on his mind as they glided over her face. After a few moments he dropped his eyes and pressed his forehead against her's. "Is there anything I can do to be a better husband to you?" His voice was calm and level, but he was earnestly curious.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn was extremely surprised by Dayn's question. "Dayn, no, you're already a husband better than perfection. Why would you ask me that?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn looked up at Arryn and smiled. He was touched by her compliment. "I doubt I'm better than perfect, but I'll take the compliment anyway." He leaned in to kiss her cheek before continuing. "I ask only because I love you, and in that I want to always try to be a better man and a better husband than I was yesterday."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled a bit, moving closer to press her head against his collarbone. "Well you're already perfect, so don't worry."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn tucked his head down over Arryn's as a couple of tears slid down his cheeks. "I don't know what to say, hon."

 

[Dragongal]

Eratic emotions were common with mana burn, so Arryn wasn't too worried over Dayn's tears. She pulled back and kissed him on the cheek. "Maybe, 'the skillet is done.'"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn looked over at the oven and laughed. "Huh, what do you. It is done." Without even thinking about it Dayn rolled his sleeves back and reached into the oven to pull the pan out and lay it on the counter. When he had already sat it down he looked back at his hands and thought for a moment over what he had just done. "Okay, I don't have mana burn the other day and I scald my hand on the pan. I am dealing with mana burn today but I manage to work my pyromancy enough to resist being burned as I reach into an oven and grab a hot pan?" Dayn looked back at Arryn, his lips pursed together slightly. "I'm glad the skillet is done. I think I need to cuddle up and sleep again."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn took his hand, rubbing her thumb over his palm. "Okay. Let's eat then."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn scooped up enough of the skillet for both of them before sitting down on the counter again to eat. "You know, this isn't bad. Actually, this is better than any that I've had down in the south."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn grabbed her fork and took a bite. She smiled and nodded. "It's really good."

 

[BookWyrm]

After a few more bites Dayn sat his fork down for a few moments. He looked up at Arryn with a smile before swallowing the bite he had been working on. "Maybe if I am feeling better tomorrow we could go for a walk? I know that Da would like to see you in your dress, and I thought it might be nice to get out a little."

 

[Dragongal]

"Oh, gods, I forgot to show Da my dress! Aw, damn.... I feel like an idiot now!" Arryn leaned forward and put her forehead against Dayn shoulder with an annoyed sigh.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn tucked his head against Arryn as he laid his hand on her neck. "Its okay hon. He seemed like he was busy when I spoke to him the other day."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and nodded a bit before sitting up and going back to eating slowly. She knew he wanted to get back to cuddling.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn took another bite of the skillet and swallowed before leaning forward and cupping Arryn's cheeks with his hands. As he moved her to look at him he slowly rubbed his fingers over her cheeks. He leaned forward carefully and kissed her forehead as tenderly as he could, holding it for a good ten seconds before pulling back and kissing her lips. He pulled back once more and kissed her jaw before leaning back on the counter again, a smile on his face.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled as he kissed her forehead, then returned the kissing and smiled. "I assume you're done with breakfast." She leaned again his shoulder.
