Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his cheek. "I'm glad. You're going to need to rest a lot for a while. I don't know what this is, but I think we've got the fever under control now."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn nodded before laying his head against Arryn's shoulder. He had no idea what this disease was, but he could have guessed it had to do with everything happening here recently. "How do we figure out what it is? Are you going to have to get Mum or Theodas?"

 

[Dragongal]

"Well, we could just let it run its course. Otherwise, I suppose I'd have to speak to Mom." Arryn continued brushing her fingers through his hair slowly.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn thought over the options for a few moments before saying, "We can let it go as long as it doesn't get worse." Gently Dayn leaned up and kissed Arryn's neck before laying back into the bed. He stayed close to Arryn, but he also gave her enough space if she needed to move about or get up. "If you need to head to the market or take care of business I should be good for a couple of hours once I get to sleep."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn used the given space to get up and get him more water to leave him the table by his bed. Once that was done, she crawled back into bed next to him and cuddled close.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn was mostly asleep by the time Arryn joined him in the bed again. He opened an eye and smiled before snuggling up against her. "That was awful sweet of you."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close so he could lay against her more. Now that his fever was down, she let herself warm back up to normal and pulled the blankets up around them before wrapping her arms protectively around him and returning her fingers to playing with his hair.

 

[BookWyrm]

For feeling rather foul Dayn was quite content to rest against Arryn and let her love on him. He laid a hand on Arryn's cheek and brushed his thumb against her as they rested. "You're kinda warm now.", he said after a moment before snuggling up close and pressing his forehead against her own. "Comfy."

 

[Dragongal]

"You're not as warm as you were before. You did honestly have me worried."

 

[BookWyrm]

"It wasn't intentional." Dayn hadn't really been aware of everything until she had woke him up. "I wasn't exactly coherent at the time."

 

[Dragongal]

"I know. It's okay. But good news is I seem to have gotten the new magic under control."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled and kissed Arryn's forehead. "Awesome. Sorry that I had to spaz out to get you to accomplish that. I would have liked to have seen you work it properly."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shrugged a bit. "I guess I just needed something so important that I couldn't be bothered to worry about the magic."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn was flattered in a way. "It's nice to know I'm important to someone.", he chuckled before nuzzling against Arryn's cheek.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn returned the affection. "You're everything to me, mo chroi. I just got into that healer mode and everything worked out. And I'm really glad, because it seemed to help you."

 

[BookWyrm]

It suddenly clicked in Dayn's mind. Calm. Serenity. Focus. THAT'S IT! "Why didn't I see that before?" Dayn laughed for a moment before nuzzling against Arryn again. "I guess you didn't need my tutelage after all. You just needed something to focus on." He found himself continuing to nuzzle against Arryn. Her cheek, her neck, and then kissing up under her chin. Even for being sick he was enjoying her. "Mm, you are really comfy. And so soft."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered a bit and smiled. "You're awfully cuddly for being sick."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn finally laid his head against Arryn's chest and relaxed. "I'm always cuddly because you are always cuddleable. I can't help myself, even if I'm sick."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laid back more so she could get comfortable, and wrapped her arms around Dayn again. "That's an interesting compliment that I've never heard before."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn turned to the side and laid the back of his head against Arryn's stomach before taking her hand, pulling her arm across his body, and linking their fingers together. "I try to be creative with my compliments, even if I'm sick."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn rubbed her thumb across his palm and chuckled. "Thank you. But you should be trying to rest, mo chroi."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I thought that was what I was doing?" Dayn smiled before closing his eyes and settling in against Arryn. Within a matter of moments after closing his eyes he was asleep again.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn adjusted the blankets around him and slowly resumed brushing her fingers through his hair. At least he seemed to be improving, and the fever had broken for the most part. It seemed like his pyromancy wasn't affecting anything anymore either, which was a definite plus. It didn't take Arryn long to doze off to a light sleep.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn's eyes shot open as he tried to sit up, only to catch about halfway and cry out as his scars seethed in fire. He laid back against Arryn as gently as he could, all the while his body being cramped in pain. Whatever sickness he had caught seemed to be messing with his magic and scars. Was it something laced on the banshees knives? When the pain finally let up Dayn panted heavily, his arms wrapped around himself as he shivered.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn woke up with a start and wrapped her arms around Dayn, being very careful of his scars as she pulled him close. "Mo chroi, what's wrong?" Already setting a spell to ease his pain into motion, she pulled up the blankets around him as quickly as she could and wrapped her arms around him protectively.
