Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

Dayn looked over himself as he moved around slowly and deliberately, rolling his head and arms around before bending and flexing to test the range of motion. "I don't feel overburdened at all. That, and the range of motion is amazing!" Dayn took Arryn's hands in his own before starting to dance. Even fully armored his movements were smooth and graceful. After spinning her around Dayn pulled Arryn to him, raised his visor, and kissed her.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn returned the kiss, and once they separated, she pressed her head against the cool metal of his chest plate. "I'm glad to know that you have really good armor. It makes me feel much better."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled and started to play with Arryn's hair as he held her. Despite adoring the armor Dayn missed the feeling of Arryn's head against his chest. Although he would rather not talk about the oncoming fight, now was the best time to get an idea of what was coming. "What can we expect when it starts? What kind of combatants?"

 

[Dragongal]

"Rough - hewn guys. Trained through experience not practice. Not necessarily good fighters. Some of them possibly drunk. Probably stick to simple swing and slash fighting styles. Archers shouldn't have time to get their bows, Kalie will handle them. Your job is to make the run with me to find where the slaves are kept. They'll usually be in the very back."Arryn closed her eyes and savored the feeling of his playing with her hair.

 

[BookWyrm]

Thugs and brigands. I can deal with that. "I'd prefer it to take point, but we can discuss tactics with everyone later. I'd rather not spoil what little alone time we have left until tonight."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded. "Let's get you out of this armor for the few hours we have left. Okay?"

 

[BookWyrm]

It didn't take long to get in or out of the armor, especially with help. Once he was back into his normal clothes Dayn had flopped on the bed before snuggling up against Arryn. He held her close and protectively, his face pressed against the back of her neck as they lay together.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled when Dayn cuddled close. She moved around a bit so she could give him a kiss and nestle her head into the crook of his neck. "I love you."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I love you too." Dayn wrapped both arms around Arryn and held her tight. She was worried about the raid, that much was clear. "Everything is going to be okay tonight."

 

[Dragongal]

"I know. I still worry a bit, though. We'll go over the rest of the tactics with the others, but for now I just want to stay close to you."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn slid his hand under Arryn's shirt and traced his fingers along her back, running along skin and scar the same. We're connected through these, he thought as he traced almost absentmindedly. "Hold me close." Dayn said after a moment. "I want to feel your arms around me."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered a bit as he traced over some scarring. She looked at him for a second before wrapping her arms around him and pulling him close. He knew this whole thing had her upset.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn held Arryn closer in return before continuing to trace over her back. He wished he could make a glamour or create a rose or do something like he used to be able to with his thaumaturgy. But...all he could offer now was some degree of.....


Dayn focused on his magic and the dark closed in around them, yet something about it this time seemed different. Blessed by one of Lleuna's kind. This has to do with the night and moon. Please work. To Dayn's surprise and relief the dark morphed and took in the light from the candles of the room and scattered it like stars in the night sky.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked around and grinned. "Wow... It's amazing." After a moment, she leaned in and kissed Dayn's cheek. "You're amazing, you know that?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn chuckled as he mussed Arryn's hair. "I do what I can for my amazing wife."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shook her head a bit and nestled against his shoulder again, laying her head and just the right angle so she could still see the stars that Dayn had made.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Alright, this summer I am taking you out east. We are going to set up on the plateaus under the stars and watch the night sky where it stretches on forever."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled a bit and kissed Dayn's neck. He was so sweet to think of that for her. Though the East was a bit on the hotter side of climates for her, she did like the sound of the idea. "I think I would like that. As long as you're with me, though, I'm fine with stargazing anywhere."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn sighed contently when Arryn kissed his neck. "Not too far east, just to the first big plateaus where we can lay out on a blanket and watch the sky. I don't feel like getting sand everywhere."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn wrinkled her nose. "Yeah. I've only seen sand once. I didn't like it very much. It's like snow but it's annoying and doesn't melt." After a few moments, Arryn moved so she could kiss the front of Dayn's neck, just because she was a bit bored and cuddly.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn's eyes snapped open as he shivered. He cocked his head to the side as he looked down at Arryn. "You in one of those moods now?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked up at him for a few seconds before giving him a quick peck on the lips. "Maybe? Do you not like it?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"No, I mean...yes I like it...or would it be no I don't mind?" Dayn rolled his eyes and laid his head against Arryn's shoulder for a second. "No, I do like it, you just caught me by surprise."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn giggled a bit and took advantage of his position to kiss along his exposed neck.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn's eyelids suddenly became heavy as he leaned his head away, exposing the rest of his neck to Arryn. "Oh.......gods this feels amazing."
