Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and crawled into bed, pulling two of the magic blankets over herself as she got comfortable, waiting for Dayn to curl up. For some reason she felt rather chilled again, but she wasn't about to tell Dayn that.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn curled up around Arryn and laid his head against her chest happily. He looked up at her and nuzzled under her chin. <I love you, fy rhosyn.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn wrapped her arms around Dayn's neck. "I love you too, mo chroi." Arryn slowly petted Dayn's head. "I'm going to help close your wounds a bit, okay?" She didn't wait for an answer before laying her hand on Dayn's neck and using a small amount of magic and spreading it amongst his numerous wounds, trying to make sure that they wouldn't open. Dayn would feel a bit of a coolness about the magic cast, but nothing uncomfortable or worth much notice. Arryn surely didn't notice at all.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn shivered slightly, his body gratefully accepting the magic. To a degree he wanted to chastise Arryn, but he couldn't bring himself to. So, instead, he licked her throat lovingly. <Thank you.> He did notice that her magic felt a bit...cool for some reason. He didn't think too much over it though.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered a bit and lightly nuzzled against him. "Is it okay if I nap?" Arryn had been feeling rather tired ever since drying Dayn off, and using her magic hadn't helped any.

 

[BookWyrm]

<As long as I can too.> Dayn wagged his tail slightly before cuddling up closer and sighing contently before closing his eyes. <Are you comfy?>

 

[Dragongal]

"Mhm," Arryn barely murmured her response before she was asleep. Her body temperature began to very slowly, very gradually lower while she slept, but it didn't wake her.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn was fast asleep alongside Arryn. It had felt good to laugh about the bath, but deep down Dayn wanted something more. He knew they were going to be on the long road to recovering, so he was trying to think of ways to help lighten the mood some when he wasn't in pain. But, all of that could wait until he was awake again.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn slowly stirred, surprised for a moment to find Dayn in wolf form, and even more so that he was damp. After a few seconds it slowly came back to her and she shivered a bit, grabbing a third magicked blanket and cuddling closer against Dayn. What was she so cold...?

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn subconsciously snuggled closer to Arryn. Somewhere between their bond and his natural rhythm he managed to stay very aware of Arryn in while resting. A couple of moments later he stirred. <Everything okay?>

 

[Dragongal]

"Cold... not like before... but still kinda cold. I'm just going to go back to sleep." Arryn didn't want Dayn using his pyromancy, he wasn't in a good condition for that, so she just snuggled closer to Dayn, until her head was nearly under his.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn adjusted enough to make sure Arryn could breathe but kept close against her. He felt sleep pulling at him again, and despite his concern he let his eyes fall once more. <I'll be here. I love you.> Soon his breath came easy as he slept soundly.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn slowly let her eyes closed, almost scared of what might happen if she slept, but she couldn't had continued to deny her body if she had wanted to. After only a few moments she was asleep again, despite the cold she could feel settling into her bones.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn woke again about mid way through the afternoon. He new that moving too much would probably wake Arryn, so despite his wanting to get up and move a bit he laid still and kept his love warm. She had buried herself under three of the magicked blankets, to which Dayn himself enjoyed laying on top of. Even then they were nice and warm. For a moment he thought about trying to shift back again, but when he barely opened the door again he could feel his body protesting and stopped quickly enough to deny the pain entry. So, he sighed and laid his head back down against Arryn as he waited for sleep to take him or his wife to wake up again. Whichever came first. Then again...if Lenza came in with food, well, what kind of son-in-law would turn down good food?

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn slowly woke up, having sensed Dayn through their bond. She slowly nuzzled against him and curled up in her blankets a but. "Morning, mo chroi."

 

[BookWyrm]

<Afternoon.> Dayn looked over at Arryn and gently placed his paw over her face. <Boop.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and wrinkled her nose before moving to bury her face against his neck, making sure to bring her blankets with her. "Good afternoon, then."

 

[BookWyrm]

The next four days went by reasonably well. Dayn managed to get along fine as a wolf, though he missed being able to hold Arryn. He did have a chance to have some fun with Theodas one day when he was helping Lenza cook. The elf hadn't been around since Dayn shifted, and when his back was turned said wolf walked up behind him and growled.


At the moment Dayn was where he could normally be found; his head in Arryn's lap as they snuggled together. <You should have seen Theodas's eyes when he turned around.>

 

[Dragongal]

"I can imagine. I played a few tricks on him with glamour spells years back, you know." Arryn slowly petted Dayn's head. She still had some of the magic blankets wrapped around herself, but she'd been feeling pretty good recently. "I worry for tomorrow night...."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn nestled closer against Arryn. <I am too. Hopefully everything will go over smoothly.> Dayn was quiet for a few moments before mewling. <I wonder if an elf was a wolf if their ears would still be pointy?>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed loudly, then ruffled Dayn's ears. "I don't know. Maybe elves are immune. Who knows?" Arryn's smiled faded a bit as she felt a shiver run down her spine. She was getting to a point where she could almost feel when the cold was going to set in. And she wanted to be asleep when that happened; not that she wasn't weary anyway. "Right now, Imma take a nap." Arryn settled down next to Dayn with her head half-under his chin, before falling asleep.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn made himself comfortable and dozed off as well. The next day came and seemed to drag on for some time until the evening finally came around. The dark was setting in, and it was about an hour before the moon would be up. Dayn had been feeling better all day. His attitude had been perked up and his manner cheerful despite the pain that he still felt. Although he was in a good mood he spent the day around Arryn, never leaving her side for very long. He wanted to make sure she was comfortable and okay, and now that it was an hour away Dayn had made it his personal task to keep her from becoming worried.

 

[Dragongal]

Despite Dayn's best efforts, Arryn was concerned for the full moon. Not for herself, but for Dayn. He was stuck in wolf form, so what would hapen when the moon came up? Should we go outside for this? Stay near here, but... go outside?"

 

[BookWyrm]

<Do you think it would be safe?> Dayn's only concern at this point was making sure no one saw them. <If you think we can do this without being seen then by all means.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded. "There's a pasture not far from here, I'm sure I could make the walk." Besides, there was nobody in this area who could see them anyway. Arryn got out of bed and pulled on her boots and jacket. "Come on, I'd like to get there early."
