Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

Dayn was glad Arryn hadn't pointed out his blushing. No doubt it would have only gotten worse. "Is there anything I can get for you, or do you just want to cuddle some more?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn tossed the cloth aside and wrapped her arms around Dayn's neck. "I dunno. I think I'm fine like this." She thought for a few moments, then said, "Want to go out for a walk? I could practice the new magic a bit too."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Though the offer is tempting," Dayn started, "I find it very difficult to want to move now that you have lavishly wrapped you arms around my neck. I suddenly find myself less inclined to walk and more inclined to, well, do this." Dayn wrapped Arryn in his hands and pulled her into a slow kiss.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn returned the kiss in earnest, and when they pulled apart, she smiled and nuzzled against him. That had been a pleasant little surprise. "Well that's just fine too."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled before braving a stretch, only to feel relief as his body accepted the motion gratefully. At the end he yawned and smiled as he pumped a fist in the air. "That was a good stretch. Now, how about that walk?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn cuddled closer and nuzzled against his neck, then pulled the blanket up over her head.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed before diving under the blanket after her. He laid down in front of Arryn and looked up at her with a smile and his dual colored eyes. "Hey there hot stuff."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn giggled and cuddled close to him. "No, you're the one with the fire magic, I'm the one with the ice magic, remember?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Oh, that's right.", Dayn said as he gently caressed Arryn's neck. "I'm the hot stuff, and you are miss smooth."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered. "Nuh-uh, misses. I'm married, recall?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Just kiss me for crying out loud.", Dayn said before following through and giving Arryn a passionate kiss.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn returned the kiss, though she hadn't been expecting it. As she kissed him she moved one hand to tangle her fingers in his hair. WHen she finally pulled away she giggled a bit an nuzzled against his neck. "Mm, you're a really good kisser, sir."

 

[BookWyrm]

"It's good to know my skills are appreciated." Dayn pulled himself completely under the blanket and turned around to cuddle against Arryn completely. "Might I offer my dearest Misses Smooth another?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled playfully. She was honestly having fun with this. "You may, good sir."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn swiftly planted a second kiss on Arryn's lips just as passionately as he had with the first, though this one was considerably longer than the first.

 

[Dragongal]

When they finally pulled apart, Arryn sighed contently. "I thought we were going for a walk. Not that I mind this any little bit."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed so hard he ended up coughing. "I offered to go for a walk." He had to stop for another coughing fit before continuing. "You're the one who decided to play peek-a-boo." He couldn't have smiled any wider to be honest.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn cocked her head to the side. "Are you okay, mo chroi...? You'e coughing an awful lot...."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn managed to catch his breath after a couple of moments and finally sighed as he held his ribs. "Yeah I think so. It takes more than that to bring me down."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn moved closer to him and put her hand on his forehead for a few seconds before wrapping her arms around his neck. "Well, I sure hope you're okay. I can't do too much for disease but help it along."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I haven't actually had a cold in a while. I hope I don't change that any time soon."

 

[Dragongal]

"Me too." Arryn still worried over her husband at times. It was just what she did. She knew he didn't want her to worry, but she couldn't help it.

 

[BookWyrm]

Whether Dayn wanted to admit it to Arryn or not he had been slowly yet steadily feeling off since the night at the church. If he thought about it then it made sense. His body was assaulted by some serious dark magic in the banshee scream, and he had been carved up quite well. The feeling wasn't anything major at this point, but despite his typical cheerful mood Dayn was starting to feel tired and worn and achy. It all went back to that night. If anything Dayn figured that since his lycanthropy was severely affected by the dark magic his body had to have been as well, and with all of those open wounds something might have made it past his immune system.


That was a worry for a different day though. "How about this. I'll make some warm tea, we get dressed, and after tea we'll go for that walk."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and nodded. "I like that idea." She gave him a kiss on the cheek before getting out from under the blankets and gathering up her clothing.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn slid into his clothes quickly before turning his attention to the tea. As he set the kettle over the fire and propped up against the wall he felt...drained. With Arryn elsewhere he turned his back to the hall and allowed himself to drop the facade and slowly rubbed his temples. Definitely going to add some ginger and honey to this when it's done.
