Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled a bit, then got an idea. She stood up and moved to their bedroom before undressing and shifting. It hurt like Hel, especially on her lower back, but she wanted to help Dayn. There was a moment where her memories were foggy and she was almost stuck in a wolf frame of mind, but that passed after a few seconds. She trotted out to Dayn with her tail wagging. Standing over him, she began licking and nuzzling and rubbing against his face and neck while purring loudly.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn had watched Arryn leave with some curiosity, though he couldn't have expected what she had done. Dayn laughed as he tried to push or pull away from her, to no avail. Finally Dayn wrapped his arms around Arryn's neck and rolled, pulling her over gently before nuzzling up against her and hugging her tight. He slowly reached up and started to scratch behind Arryn's ears as he pressed his face against her. "Thank you. I needed this."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn purred happily. <You're welcome.> She hadn't fought when he'd pulled her down or held her close, and she wasn't fighting it now. Her tail was a slight problem, though, since she tried to slow it down but with Dayn scratching behind her ear, she couldn't control it.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn snuggled up against Arryn as he continued to scratch her ears and love on her. He couldn't explain why this was so comforting, but he loved it. If he was paying attention, though, he would have realized that he was getting drowsy. Just ever so slowly Dayn finally dozed off again, his arms around Arryn as his face was pressed against her neck.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn paused when Dayn dozed off, waiting to see if he would stay asleep. With a little bit of a struggle, she pull the blankets up over him, making sure he would stay warm. She curled up around him as best she could before falling asleep too.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn woke in his usual time that morning. At first he couldn't understand why he felt something furry against him, but he quickly remembered that Arryn had shifted to try and help him relax. He smiled and snuggled up closer to her as he scratched her ears again.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn purred in her sleep as she very slowly woke up, chuffing quietly before opening her eyes. She resumed purring and nuzzled up against Dayn as her tail slowly picked up speed. <Morning beloved. How are you?>

 

[BookWyrm]

"Comfy.", Dayn said as he buried his face against Arryn's neck. He chuckled quietly as he heard Arryn's tail flopping against the blankets. "Don't try to stop it, you'll only end up wiggling your body."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn growled quietly for a moment, irked. <It's nice to have sometimes, but other times, it's a nuisance. I'd rather hold you as a human, but I have to admit, it feels nice to have you cuddled up to me like this. And I'm warm, for the most part. And not worried about the ice magic.>

 

[BookWyrm]

"It's nice to be able to snuggle up against a warm, cozy cuddle wolf from my perspective." Dayn was enjoying himself, maybe more than he wanted to admit. Though it didn't last very long before he dozed off again.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and curled up around him again as best she could, bristling out her fur a bit to try to add a little extra warmth for Dayn. She was still a bit worried about him after his nightmare last night. At least as a wolf she didn't have to worry about her ice magic problem. For some reason, she couldn't feel any of her magic when she was wolfed, so the shift must separate it for her. Arryn pushed those thoughts out of her mind and cuddled up to Dayn before dozing off again as well.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn woke again about an hour later still snuggled against Arryn. He stretched, only to yelp as pain shot across his scars. He wanted to rub his arms but decided against it, instead choosing to bury his face against Arryn again as he hugged her tightly. "Comfy cuddle wolf."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn purred quietly and licked his cheek. <Warm, cuddly husband> She realized that he was in pain, but decided to cuddle him instead of trying to comfort him - that would probably help him more.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Warm? You are the one with the fur hon." Dayn laughed before leaning back and rubbing Arryn's stomach, waiting to see the response he got this time.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn's purring intensified and she rolled onto her back with a goofy smile on her face. <That feels gooood....>

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled as he continued to rub and scratch over Arryn's stomach. After a moment, though, he discard his few items on a nearby table and shifted before laying down on top of Arryn and licking her snout.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn growled playfully and wriggled until she could slip a paw out to tap his nose. <Boop.>

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn looked down at Arryn and smiled before rolling onto his side and tucking his head over Arryn's. <You booped my snoot.>

 

[Dragongal]

<Yush I did.> Arryn rolled over and cuddled up close to him. <You're a big wolf. No wonder I growled at you when I was... out of it.>

 

[BookWyrm]

<You should see Matthias and Theodas when I shift. They usually give me a wide berth, but Kalie doesn't seem to mind.> Dayn nibbled and pulled on Arryn's ear before laying his head down again. He was comfy and happy and not in any rush to get up or move about.

 

[Dragongal]

<Kalie's always been good with animals. She's kind of like one, in a way: sweet and kind until you threaten her or her friends in any way, or she just decides to have some fun. She gets scary.> Arryn nuzzled under his chin a bit. <I kind of want to shift back, but I'm scared about my magic. And my scars will hurt for a few minutes....>

 

[BookWyrm]

<I love how you just grouped my with animals.> Dayn huffed, actually finding a decent amount of humor in the statement. He licked her ears gently to help comfort her. <We can stay like this for a bit, at least until you relax enough to shift back.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn purred quietly. <Hey, I meant it as in, a giant wolf isn't something that would scare her. It's really only the long fangs and claws that make you intimidating. You're a cute wolf.>

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn purred happily. <Aww, thanks sweetheart.> He nuzzled against Arryn for a few moments before curling around her and purring contently.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn purred and licked his cheek before closing her eyes and slowing her heartrate. The shift was painless, except for the momentary burning along her new scars and lower back. She pulled a blanket over herself and cuddled up to Dayn, wrapping her arms around his neck as she got comfortable. "Hello mo chroi."
