Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn gave him a kiss on the cheek and pulled away before moving behind him and very gently starting to massage his back and neck. It might not be perfect, but she could try.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn relaxed and leaned back slightly. "Even if the improvised nest is nice, it still isn't as comfy as a real one."

 

[Dragongal]

"The sooner we get to Riverbend the sooner we get a blanket nest... and a real bed too."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I know. Once the storm slacks off we can leave." Dayn tensed up as Arryn hit a tender spot, but soon after relaxed with a sigh. "You are getting better."

 

[Dragongal]

"Thank you." Arryn wrapped her arms around him from behind and kissed the back of his neck a few times for fun.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed as he tried to turn and move. "You gonna hold me hostage or are you gonna let me kiss you?"

 

[Dragongal]

"Well, when that's an option...." Arryn let Dayn go after one last little kiss.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn turned around and stared at Arryn for a moment before leaning in and kissing her, slowly easing into a gradually more passionate kiss.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn responded to the kiss in turn as it slowly blossomed with passion. When they finally separated, she leaned her head against his shoulder with a smile on her face. "You are a good kisser."

 

[BookWyrm]

"You aren't bad yourself." Dayn smiled before pushing Arryn over and play tackling her. "And you're all mine."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed. "Very true." After a moment, she calmed down and freed a hand and very, very slowly, brought it toward Dayn's face, then quickly tapped his nose. "Boop!"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed before stopping, staring blankly at Arryn, and collapsing against her.

 

[Dragongal]

"Oof!" Arryn struggled to get Dayn off. He was just joking... right? Nothing had actually happened to him...? "Mo chroi, please move!"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn waited for a moment before springing into his tickle trap, though it only lasted for a couple of moments before he threw the blanket over Arryn's head and ran. He quickly changed out of his clothing and shifted before fading into shadow to reappear behind Arryn, waiting for her to move.

 

[Dragongal]

After a few moments, Arryn finally managed to get the blanket off. She had to pause to look for her husband. "Dayn...?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn belly crawled up behind Arryn before slowly leaning out and poking the back of her neck with his nose. <Boop.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn jumped and spun around to face, then only hesitated for a moment before wrapping her arms around his neck. "Hello there." Arryn laughed and nuzzled against Dayn. But his wolf form reminded her of something. "Hey, Dayn...? When's the next full moon?"

 

[BookWyrm]

<Three weeks.> Dayn leaned his head down and pushed Arryn over again, this time curling around her before laying his head in her lap. So far the rain continued to fall, hard.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled softly and slowly petted Dayn. She didn't like thinking about full moons, but she knew it was inevitable, so she pushed it to the back of her mind and focused on her husband. The rain continued to patter outside against the tent and the ground. Arryn leaned in and gave Dayn a kiss on the brow.


A few days later, they were considerably closer to Riverbend. The plants around them were greener and more ibrant, clearly ready from spring. As peaceful as it was, Arryn still travelled fully armed, just in case something were to go awry.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn plodded along contently beside Arryn, still in his wolf form to carry their supplies. Riverbend was only a few miles off, but he wasn't ready to shift back just yet. There were many secretive paths into the city that only a handful of people knew about. <I'm not sure which one we will use, but I figure we need to make the decision soon.>

 

[Dragongal]

"Wherever you lead, love, I will follow." This territory was still unknown to Arryn, so she was happy to refer to Dayn's judgment.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn led Arryn through an overgrown area that came to an old section of the outside wall of the city. Once Arryn had helped him out of the netting and gear, and after shifting back and getting dressed, Dayn opened a hidden passage way leading into the city that spit them out near the manor.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn took Dayn's hand and grinned. Now that they were so close, she was getting giddy. "Your family will be so surprised. I can't wait to see the girls. I still have the gifts we bought for them."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn stopped in mid step before looking at Arryn and smiling like a love sick idiot. "I love seeing you like this." His arm reached around her waist, pulling her close so he could kiss her.

 

[Dragongal]

Dayn's actions surprised her, but Arryn immediately returned the kiss. "Mo chroi, I'm just excited to see your family again. Or, I suppose, our family, since we're married now. And, well, I am looking forward to a real bed."
