Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

Dayn's fur bristled up for a few seconds before floofing out as he slowly came around. He moved a bit to cuddle up around Arryn before turning to nuzzle under her chin as he licked her throat. His eyes opened after a moment before he looked over at Arryn lazily. He carefully raised his paw before laying it gently on Arryn's nose. <Boop.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed quietly and took Dayn's paw in her hands, pressing her palm against his pawpads. His paw dwarfed her hand. She let go of his paw and looked back to him and nuzzled against his cheek. "I love you."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn slowly shifted back before wrapping his arms around Arryn and nuzzling against her neck. "I love you too."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and moved so she could fit her head under Dayn's chin. She knew they had to get moving, but she wanted a few moments to cuddle with her husband.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn couldn't have been happier at the moment. He kissed Arryn's cheek and slowly rubbed along her back as they lay together. "You are amazing."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his neck. "Thank you, mo chroi. I may cause trouble once in a while, but I try to behave."

 

[BookWyrm]

"It doesn't bother me. I'd rather have a life of adventure than to be boring and dull."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked up at Dayn and lightly ran her fingers over the scar design etched into his arm. "Most of the time, I agree with you. But there's some times... when you're hurting.... There's times I wished for a dull life. Duller at least."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn's arm tingled and twitched under Arryn's gentle touch. "You are so delicate." He took her hand in his own and kissed her fingers. "I can understand the sentiment. I hate seeing you in pain or suffering. But...sometimes we have to endure the fire to come out stronger on the other side."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled a bit and nuzzled against him. "The best tempered swords, right?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn could have melted against Arryn. Sometimes to simplest gestures brought him to his knees. "Only the finest love."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn cuddled with Dayn or a little while longer before gently pulling away. "We should get some food and a bath, then go see Libro...."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Alright love." Why did the cuddling have to stop? Dayn slid out of the covers and stood up before shivering slightly. "Just a tad brisk today." Despite the chill he took his time gathering his items, making sure to put his wedding band on again before sliding into his black kilt. "I think I'll don some southern dress for once."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled as she got out of the bed. "Even when we go out into the snow?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Yep. Time to build up a tolerance. If we're going to be living in the North I am determined to get to a point where I at least tolerate the cold better."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn sighed and went into the kitchen to find something quick to eat. Bread would do. "Don't you dare get sick, then."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn walked into the kitchen wearing a grey shirt and his jacket. "Sick? Love, I am the definition of healthy and virile. No simple cold could bring your knight down."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked him over and chuckled. "You in a rush to leave? And mo chroi, you may wish to look virile up in the dictionary some time. You're not wrong, but still."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn frowned and furrowed his brow. "I know what it means." He sighed quietly before taking off his jacket and laying it on the counter. "I guess I should just leave the compliments to you. I've never been good at making myself sound admirable." Dayn poured himself a glass of juice and stood next to Arryn, his hand gently wrapping around her hip.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn chuckled and nuzzled against Dayn. "Well, now I have to try it. You're strong, handsome, humble, sweet, silly, and entirely mine. How does that sound?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Somehow Arryn could always make Dayn smile, no matter what the situation was. "Sounds like you know me very well." Dayn leaned down and gave Arryn a kiss on the lips before taking a sip of his juice. "You want anything more than a slice of bread? I was thinking about frying up some ham really quick."

 

[Dragongal]

"If you're offering, I won't say no." Arryn gave him a kiss on the cheek and sat on the counter. Though she didn't feel cold, she didn't feel warm either, and she regretted not having brought a blanket with her.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laid his jacket across Arryn's lap before pulling out his needed items and starting on the ham. Just as he said it wasn't but a few minutes later and Dayn had plated up two decently sized hams and joined Arryn on the counter.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn took Dayn's jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders as he worked. She gave him a coy smile when he rejoined her, and took the ham gratefully. It didn't take her long to eat all of it, the warmth of the food made it almost irresistible. Once she was done she set the late aside. "Want to take a bath now?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"I'll holler when the water is warm." Dayn had to restrain himself from yelling as he eased into the water. The cold water. "Next time I'm pyromancing before I get in the tub." He finally called out when the water was nice and steaming.
