Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

Dayn kept his eyes shut and drew on his magic, shrouding the room in blissful shadow before kissing Arryn's nose. "There, now, snuggle up and let's go back to sleep."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and snuggled up to Dayn, nestling her head under his chin as she got comfortable and wrapped her arms around him. "I don't know if I want to sleep, I just know I want to stay with you... holding you while you hold me. I don't want to have to deal with the day yet... and daylight reminds me of what time it is. Responsibilities... I don't want to deal with right now."

 

[BookWyrm]

Whether Arryn wanted to admit it or not, she had a way with words. "I think I can handle some more alone time."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn kissed Dayn's neck a bit in appreciation. "Thank you, mo chroi." Despite her own wishes, Arryn began to doze lightly, and soon was talking in her sleep a bit, though she couldn't keep to a single language. "No... dona weather.... Dayn ...mianach.... Me gra tú...."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Arrrrrrryn." Dayn groaned as he opened up one eye to watch her. "You're sleep talking again." He gently tickled her ribs just lightly before hugging her tight.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn squirmed slightly, but was immediately calmed by Dayn holding her tighter. She grumbled quietly, "Wasn't asleep...."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn shrugged. "Didn't understand you. What were you saying anyway?"

 

[Dragongal]

"I don't know, since i wasn't asleep, I wasn't sleep talking, so I don't know." Arryn moved a bit to nuzzle against his cheek before stilling again.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Nid ei fod yn bwysig." Dayn was content enough just to be able to laze about for a while longer.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn paused, then kissed Dayn's cheek. "Mm, I dunno what you said, but okay. Just hold me, please."

 

[BookWyrm]

"As you wish, fy rhosyn."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn cuddled up to Dayn and sighed contently. Whatever was happening outside their room, she didn't care. She had her man and that was all she needed. For the moment, ignorance really was bliss.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn stirred just enough to have a finger tracing lightly over the scarring on Arryn's upper arm. He was humming a fun drinking song for some reason, though he wasn't really sure what that reason was.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered a bit from the sensation of his finger tracing over her scars. "Mm, should I take your sing choice as a sign you want to go drinking tonight? I'm down if you are."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed, but after a moment gave the thought some consideration. "Actually, that would be fun."

 

[Dragongal]

"Mhm. No getting hammered though, just drunk."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Of course. Besides, I hate getting hammered."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn giggled as bit and nuzzled against Dayn's neck. "That's for later tonight, though. I know I swore off drinking, but since I'm with you, I think I'll be okay."

 

[BookWyrm]

"If you've sworn off drinking, wouldn't you have stopped drinking that wine and mead we had up North?"

 

[Dragongal]

"I never went out drinking. We were at home together or at a restaurant together. I couldn't get very drunk at all."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Oh, I see." Dayn had a playful smirk and iced eyes by this point, signalling that mischief was imminent.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn glanced up at Dayn for a second, then sighed and looked away. He didn't seem to understand that drinking had been a rather bad problem for her once upon a time.... She had spent far too many nights alone in bars and taverns after certain fights. She was usually able to recoup after a time, with the help of her team, but after the first time with the banshees, she'd had nobody to stop her as she fled.... The worst part, an innate mage should never allow themselves to get very drunk, and she had. And with her fighting skills, it was just too dangerous....

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn's shoulders dropped as he frowned. What did I do now? He sighed and kissed her cheek before dispersing into shadow and reappearing at the counter where a pitcher of water sat. "I'm sorry.", he said quietly as he poured a couple of mugs and walked back to the bed.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked up at him and smiled slightly. "It's okay, mo chroi. I know you didn't mean anything by it." Arryn took her mug of water, sipped from it, and set it on the bedside table before looking back to him. It didn't really hurt anymore, but she did feel rather bad for ruining Dayn's good mood. "Come back in bed with me...?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn took one last sip from his mug before placing it next to Arryn's and easing back into the bed. He wrapped his arms around her as they laid down and held her close. "How could I turn down that offer?"
