Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

Dayn stood next to the counter as he ate, giving Arryn all the room she might ever want. "You look cute wrapped in the blanket.", he said with a smile as he finished off his plate. After cleaning it and stowing it away he poured himself a glass of juice. It tasted amazing to be honest. "Kalie didn't have to go through the trouble of stocking this place." How much did it cost them?

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn finished her food and moved to Dayn's side, giving him a hug. "Didn't have to, but probably felt bad about everything that happened. We'll repay them later."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I'm still not used to having people take care of us.", Dayn said as he snuggled up against Arryn. "Being from noble upbringing and all, I'm not exactly used to people helping to take care of me and my own."

 

[Dragongal]

"Is that a joke? What about all of your servants?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Well.....they aren't actually serfs. My family has no indentured servants in the house or in our service. All of them are free men and women that work in the home for pay. If you want the honest truth most of the tenants at our home are fourth generation, so honestly they are more like family than anything else. If me or my siblings got out of line neither of my parents had a problem with the tenants disciplining us, we just knew that if they had to then we got a double dose when our parents found out."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded, then reached out and took Dayn's hand. "Let's take that bath. May I unwrap your bandages?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn nodded and found a stool. It was a little easier to sit while Arryn unwound his body.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn carefully unwound the bandaging and stepped back, looking the wounds over carefully. "You know, I don't think we need to bandage them anymore."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Really?" There was a slight hint of excitement in Dayn's voice. "Why do you say that?"

 

[Dragongal]

"Just looking at the scar tissue, I don't htink you're really at risk to reopen your wounds anymore, and there's really no risk of infection in my opinion." Arryn walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist before lightly kissing his neck.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn had no doubt that Arryn could feel the goosebumps rise on his skin. He gasped quietly before smiling as he laid his hands over the top of Arryn's. "Mm, I love you."

 

[Dragongal]

"I love you too." Arryn smiled and gave him one last kiss on the neck before walking to the bathing room, knowing Dayn would follow.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed before following his wife into their bathroom. "You sure know how to get my attention. You realize that right?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn took off her shirt and smiled as she unwrapped the bandaging on her wrists. They didn't look too bad. Maybe she could leave the bandages off? "Yep."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn walked up behind Arryn and gently started to unwrap the bandages from around her lower back. He took his time not just to be careful but also to just enjoy her closeness. "Your not looking that bad yourself. Though, these on you back might need a little longer."

 

[Dragongal]

"I figured... that dagger wound cut some muscle. It'll take a bit longer than anything else. I'll cast a spell to make it heal a bit faster once I'm out of the bath." Once Dayn had unwrapped all of her bandages she got undressed and waited for Dayn to warm the water.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn slid out of his kilt and stepped into the bath. He gritted his teeth at the cold water, even cursing under his breath as he plunged his waistline below the surface, but once he was submerged he managed to start warming everything up quite well. After a couple of minutes Dayn looked over at Arryn and smiled. "Come on in love, the water is quite nice."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn gingerly stepped into the bath, glad to find it warm. She moved next to Dayn and nuzzled against him a bit. "Thank you, mo chroi."

 

[BookWyrm]

The things I freeze for you love. The thought brought a smile to his face and a quiet chuckle. "Your welcome sweetheart."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn stretched carefully, grateful for the warmth of the water easing the ache in her back. She was very careful cleaning herself up as well, not wanting to make anything worse than it was. Once they were done she was certain to cast a mild slow healing spell on her wounds, and with a sigh, let Dayn bandage her up again.

 

[BookWyrm]

"There you go. By far the best wrapping of bandages I have ever completed in my life." Dayn tried to find some humor in the situation. He had slid into a pair of loose, comfortable pants once he'd dried off. "Is there anything you want now?"

 

[Dragongal]

"Well you gt a lot of practice wrapping bandages around me." Arryn pulled on her shirt and looked at Dayn for a few seconds before taking his hand and pulling him to the bed. "I want cuddles and a nap."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn followed Arryn's lead and crawled into their bed before snuggling up against her, his hand laying on her hip instinctively as he slowly nuzzled up to her. He let his hands and his lips speak for him as he gently caressed and kissed Arryn before settling down to let her get comfortable.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered and closed her eyes as she cuddled up to Dayn. She put her head under his chin and pulled a blanket up as she nuzzled against his neck a bit, settling down.

 

[BookWyrm]

This was something Dayn had missed over the past few days. It felt good to be home, to have his wife in his arms, and to be in their own bed. For the moment, life was good. Dayn started playing with Arryn's hair as he hummed contently. A southern gentlemen always has a song on his mind. His mother had been fond of that saying, though he couldn't ever recall his father being the singing type.
