Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn cuddled close against her husband. She wanted to keep him warm if possible. "It's not much, but I try."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn leaned against Arryn before kissing her cheek. "It works." Once supper was finished Dayn shifted and laid down, curling around Arryn to keep both of them warm. Outside the shelter lightning crackled the air as rain continued to fall. <We might be stuck for a couple of days. These thunderstorms tend to linger a bit.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn cuddled against Dayn. Hopefully they could get to Riverbend soon. "You know that I can make a shield above us if I have the time to prepare... so we could still travel...."

 

[BookWyrm]

<Yes, but I also don't see the reason in wasting mana for something as mild as keeping dry.> Dayn licked Arryn's hand before sticking his nose under it. <I do want to get back to Riverbend, but if the storm delays us then I would think anything else might be delayed as well.>

 

[Dragongal]

"I am in no rush, but it might give us an advantage and it costs minimal mana...."

 

[BookWyrm]

<What if I tell you that I planned on getting trapped in a storm just to have an excuse to be alone with you?> Dayn hadn't planned on it, but it sounded at least slightly romantic.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and cuddled against him. "I just know that you're concerned about Riverbend."

 

[BookWyrm]

<I'm concerned about many things; Riverbend, Mazy and Lenza, my family, but most of all my focus is on you.> Dayn laid his head in Arryn's lap and mewled happily.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn grinned and ruffled his ears. She had to wonder if he was doing this to make her feel better about what could be coming for them and what they had left behind. "Okay, my cuddly wolf."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn sighed contently before shifting back, finally dry and warm. "I'm not really sure what we will find in Riverbend, but for now I think our focus should just be on us and the storm."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn adjusted her position and hugged Dayn close. "Okay. Whatever you choose, I'll follow your lead, beloved."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn hugged Arryn back before walking off to find some pants. Once he was clothed he wrapped them both in the warmest blanket they had brought. "I love storms. They give you an excuse to be cuddly."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his neck. "Like you need an excuse."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Of course not." Dayn leaned in to kiss Arryn right at the moment thunder rolled. "It just means each kiss might be a little more electrifying."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn chuckled and pulled him into another kiss. "Dearest, you're adorable." Arryn pulled Dayn in to another kiss, lingering close against him. Her hand was on his shoulder when she accidentally let some of her frost magic slip, resulting in a thin layer of frost on his skin. Arryn immediately pulled back in horror and the frost faded. "Oh gods, Dayn, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, I-I was distracted, I'm so sorry."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn shivered for a moment before hugging up close against Arryn, nuzzling her neck. "Warm." His hands found their way to her back, tracing across her as he started to kiss her neck. "No worries Arryn. I'm just a little bit chilled."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered and wrapped her arms around Dayn to hug him close. He was so sweet.... now she kept her magic in the back of her mind, though. He was okay this time, but what if she dis worse...?

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn brushed his fingers up Arryn's neck before caressing her cheek. "How about we get our minds off of everything for a bit? Enjoy the peaceful storm and the fine company we have found ourselves in. How does that sound?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against Dayn's neck and nodded a bit. She still felt bad for her magic slipping, but Dayn's suggestion sounded wonderful.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn kissed Arryn slowly, focusing on keeping her attention off of his hands as he reached up and started to rub around her ears and neck.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered and immediately relaxed against Dayn. He knew all of her weak spots at this point, and was evidently willing to use them.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Breath.", Dayn whispered as he continued to kiss and massage Arryn. "Let your worries slip away. Relax, unwind with me."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn opened her eyes for a moment to look at him. Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a tight hug. She couldn't get over how he knew she was upset by her mistake and was still trying to make her feel better about it. Even if it wasn't because of the magic slipping, he knew she was upset. At the moment, Arryn just wanted to hold him close and never let go.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn wrapped his arms around Arryn, holding her as he did his best to kiss away any stress. After a moment he pushed her back gently. "Hold just a moment." They didn't have pillows or blankets like they did back home, but Dayn managed to arrange what blankets they had around their packs to improvise a nest. As they laid down together Dayn leaned in to begin kissing Arryn as he embraced her side and neck.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered and cuddled closer to Dayn. It was nice to he in some semblance of a blanket nest like they usually had. It brought a kind of comfort to her.
