Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn relaxed against Dayn. She loved when he did this, singing to her while giving her a neck rub or playing with her hair. She regretted having bandages on, but she could put that put of her mind for the moment, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

 

[BookWyrm]

After giving Arryn a thorough neck rub and finishing his song Dayn stared up at the ceiling with a content smile on his face. "Although I am beyond happy right now, I'm starting to get stir crazy."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his chest a bit. "Mm?" Arryn didn't feel like even moving much. She didn't know it, but she was suffering from complete mana drain, and slowly recovering. She also didn't know that her temperature was dropping, though Dayn surely noticed.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn looked down at Arryn and frowned before pulling the blankets up around them more. "Been cooped up for far too long. I need to get out and stretch my legs some."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn didnt know why Dayn was pulling up the blankets, but she didn't really care. "You could go on a hunt, mo chroi. If you're up to it, I don't know if the shift might reopen your wounds."

 

[BookWyrm]

The thought of shifting again made Dayn's skin crawl some. "I might wait for a bit." He looked back to Arryn and laid his hand against her cheek. "Hon, your getting cold again."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn raised her head to look up at him with concerned eyes. "I don't feel cold, though... you feel warm, but you always do lately...." Arryn truly didn't understand what was going on, but she tried not to let her growing fear show. All she could think of was that dream, with the banshee... did this mean she would become a banshee too...? What was happening...?

 

[BookWyrm]

"Hold on." Dayn's mana was gone, but he could still provide more warmth. Though he didn't want to shift it was the best option to keep Arryn warm. He laid his necklaces and wedding band on the dresser next to the bed before shifting. His body felt stiff and for once the shift hurt, probably from the wounds more than anything. Once it was finished he climbed back into the bed and wrapped his body around Arryn before snuggling up against her.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and cuddled against him, wrapping her arms around his neck as she buried her face into his fur. She did her best to keep their connection closed, because she didn't want Dayn knowing that she was scared. Yes, Dayn's wolf form was marvelously warm and confortable, but did it actually fix the problem...? They needed to see Libro, and soon. But at the moment, Arryn felt too weak to move very much at all.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn mewled quietly out of mixed emotions. He didn't really know what to think or feel at the moment. Concern for Arryn mixed with the joy he felt when she held him like she was. He chuffed quietly, realizing just how much of a mixed bag of emotions he'd been since that night in the church. <We'll get this figured out love. I know we will.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded a bit and closed her eyes, relaxing against him. While she didn't feel cold, she could feel his warmth, and it felt amazing. She slowly petted along his neck with one hand, both for his sake and her own. She didn't want to think about that dream anymore. Of course Dayn was worried over her, she surely looked like a pale, sickly wreck, but she didn't like upsetting him. The sooner they could get to Libro, the better.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn purred, enjoying Arryn's affection immensely. He licked her neck and cheek gently in reply before nuzzling up against her. He wanted her to be as comfortable as she could be at this moment. <We can go see Libro tomorrow if you want.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled a bit. "If I'm not too weak, then yes, that would be for the best."

 

[BookWyrm]

<I'd rig a sleigh and drag you like a dog team if I must.> Dayn nuzzled against Arryn's neck as he purred deeply. He tried to remind her of his devotion from time to time. It seemed to do her good.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn lightly kissed Dayn's brow. "I wouldn't subject you to such embarrassment. Especially when you're not in a perfect condition either."

 

[BookWyrm]

<I appreciate the sentiment hon.> Dayn tucked his head down against Arryn's and sighed contently. <I'm not sure how most people would take seeing that as well.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shrugged a bit and cuddled against Dayn. Mine.

 

[BookWyrm]

If Dayn had purred any louder he might have vibrated. His tail wagged happily as Arryn cuddled against him, though he tried to reign it in some. In the end he accidentally caused a small aeromantic breeze to blow through the room and stir up the dust that had settled while they had been away. Dayn sneezed before looking at Arryn with his ears lowered. <Oops.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and nuzzled against Dayn. "You're absolutely adorable sometimes, did you know that?"

 

[BookWyrm]

The compliment only made Dayn's tail wag again. <I aim to please.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled widely and hugged Dayn tighter. "You do it well." She cuddled against him for a bit longer before settling down so she could rest some more. She wanted to see Libro tomorrow if they could.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn licked Arryn's cheek before settling down against her. <I promise I will help you figure all of this out. You're not alone any more love. I'll be here for you.> Dayn snuggled up around Arryn a little more before closing his eyes. <Always.>

 

[Dragongal]

Despite how touching his words were, Arryn was asleep against him the moment he finished speaking. She was too tired to try to respond anymore.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn heard Arryn's quiet breathing and purred contently. His eyes were closed by now, and soon he would join his wife in peaceful sleep.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn woke up the next morning and stretched slightly before realizing Dayn was still wrapped around her as a wolf. She smiled and nuzzled against his neck. Despite being a bit tired and sore, she was feeling much better than yesterday.
