Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

Arryn being comfortable meant the world to Dayn. He stopped them out on a pier with lanterns all around just to hug her and let her see the river rolling bu quietly. "You make any place worth being in, but this city has always had it's own magic."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn hugged Dayn back and nuzzled against his chest. "It's a nice magic, then. I like it a lot."

 

[BookWyrm]

Even though Arryn had been nuzzling against him since the day they admitted their love to each other, the gesture still sent Dayn's heart to racing. "Yes, and very powerful magic too."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn glanced up at Dayn and giggled a bit. "What do you mean? I know you have a magic snake spirit in your household, but do you mean the city actually has magic? Is it on a ley line? Or do you just mean it's very special in its own way?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled, giggled quietly, and brushed a hand through Arryn's hair. "A little bit of everything, actually. There is a ley line intersection in the garden, so the city has a powerful magic aura, but it is also magical in it's own special way."

 

[Dragongal]

"Okay. That makes sense." Arryn smiled and leaned her head into Dayn's hand. "Will the household serpent nag at us if we get home late?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Tan has never been the type to nag.", Dayn laughed.

 

[Dragongal]

"Okay. Let's go dance then."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed before taking Arryn's hand, his other laying on her hip. "I can't think of a better place than this."

 

[Dragongal]

"Alright, then, love. Pick a song and we'll dance the night away."

 

[BookWyrm]

Not even missing a beat Dayn started into the first slow dance they had ever shared.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn pressed her head against his chest. "Good pick, mo chroi."

 

[BookWyrm]

When the couple finally made their way back to the manor Dayn pulled Arryn aside, a mischievous smile on his face, and led her into the manor's garden. There, under a beautiful gazebo nestled near a fountain, was a nice lounge and hammock. "This is a perfect night for sleeping under the stars, if you want."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded vigorously, then paused until the spinning stopped. She looked up to Dayn and grinned. "As long as you're with me I'm content."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn took Arryn's head in his hands and kissed her cheek. "You are adorable and hilarious when you are drunk." Dayn looked around, finding a blanket that had been laid out, before laying down and snuggling up to Arryn. Once the blanket was pulled over them and they were comfy Dayn kissed Arryn's neck and held her close. "This has been an amazing night."

 

[Dragongal]

"Mhm." Arryn cuddled up to Dayn. She'd never slept in a hammock before, but it was surprisingly comfy, she could see the stars, and of course she had Dayn, so she was content.

 

[BookWyrm]

As Dayn and Arryn both closed their eyes to doze off something suddenly jumped onto the hammock and walked over to them. Ceo mewed quietly before curling up on both of them and falling asleep. Come morning, though, Addy and Lill were out chasing cats around the garden when the stumbled upon the three crashed out in the hammock. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn jerked awake, falling out of the hammock in the process, causing her to cuss in Northern. She sat up and glanced at the two, then grabbed Ceo and pulled her close to keep the girls from taking her. "Girls, we're married, y'ken? We were just sleeping."

 

[BookWyrm]

Addy and Lill both looked a bit apologetic for causing Arryn to fall from the hammock. Dayn had somehow gotten tangled up in the blanket and fallen out the other side, hitting ground, hard. "Girls, go bug someone else." Dayn groaned as he rolled onto his back.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked over to Dayn and mumbled, "You hungover? Or just me?" She wasn't badly hungover, but it was enough to bug her. Her attention turned back to the girls. "Oh, and by the way, this cat I'm holding? This is Ceo. She's ours. Not a random cat. She's a conjuration, but that doesn't mean you can drag her around the house. Okay?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Both girls nodded before a cat came running by, distracting them and prompting the chase to begin again. "Yeah, I'm a little hungover." Dayn groaned as he finally got to his feet. "Not bad. Just....tired."

 

[Dragongal]

"Agreed. Let's get nap a little while longer. Wanna nap out here, or inside?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Inside." Dayn said as he led Arryn into the house. "Where we can lock doors and avoid human contact."

 

[Dragongal]

"Except for each other's." Arryn giggled a bit and kissed his cheek. She was still carrying Ceo with one arm, and the little cat mewed happily at the attention.

 

[BookWyrm]

When the door to the room was finally locked Dayn stripped his shirt off on his way to the bed, tossed the shirt onto the dresser, and flopped down beside Arryn. "Finally peace and quiet."
