Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled up at him and leaned her head on his chest. "Sweet-talker. I think it's time to get back to wolves and go home." She left go of him and stepped back, taking a few moments to shift. Once she was out of the water, she rolled around in the snow. <Copy me. The snow will absorb a lot of the water.>

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn shook his head and smiled before shifting and laying out in the snow. He rolled and flopped around, grunting and growling as he did to try and make Arryn laugh. <I wouldn't have guessed that.> When he finally rolled over his hair had snow stuck within it. He shook, slinging the snow off in a shower of powder.

 

[Dragongal]

<Southerner.> Arryn was smiling listening to his struggle. She pranced over to him and nuzzled under his chin affectionately. <Race you? To just past the tree line. It'll help warm us up.>

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled. <Oh? A race? Well then, why not?> Dayn turned and charged off towards the tree line. This was always one thing he loved about being a wolf. Running full out was amazing.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn bolted, catching up with Dayn, keeping pace, then... passing him.... She turned to look back, then focused on the tree line, trying to turn in the snow, instead ending up skidding and sliding, forming a mound of snow in top of her. She popped her head out and huffed. <I still won...>

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn slid on the breaks, coming to a stop and sending a shower of snow out in front of him. He tilted his head to one side as he looked at Arryn before huffing. <So you did.> He walked over and rubbed against her face. <What spoils befall the winner then?>

 

[Dragongal]

<Help getting the snow off of me.> Arryn stood up stiffly and shook her coat, but some of the snow still stuck to her fur. <I think I got rugburn on my paws.> She nuzzled Dayn, then paused and said, <But I'm faster than you!>

 

[BookWyrm]

<I noticed.> His tone wasn't angry, just a little bumfuzzled. Dayn had a competitive streak to him, but he wasn't really sore about losing to the love of his life. He mewled happily as Arryn nuzzled him while he hepled get the snow out of her fur. <Its interesting to be honest. But, I almost think it fitting to you.> He had worked his way around and now gently nuzzled up under her chin. <Anything else love? You did win a fair race.>

 

[Dragongal]

<I feel like you're insinuating something. I think just going home and cuddling up under warm blankets would be reward enough.> Arryn walked back over by the river and picked up her pack, then rejoined Dayn, leading him home. Once there, she dropped her pack and laid down. <Winner would very much like fires stoked before shifting.> As much as she messed around with Dayn, she was cold too. The remaining water on their fur had frozen on their walk home, but she wasn't overtly cold.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn bowed. <As you wish my lady.> He trotted over and arranged the wood in the fire place, all while still wolfed, before taking a step back and staring at the wood. After a few seconds a spark flickered and the wood caught fire. Dayn bounced around, perhaps more pleased than he should be about using his pyromancy. <Did you see that love?>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn walked over to him and nuzzled against his neck, rubbing against him as she purred quietly. <Very well done, love!> She was so happy to see him so carefree, considering everything. She gently pushed him over and flopped down, laying her head on his neck. <I'm proud of you.> She nuzzled against him some more, still purring.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn found that he really enjoyed cuddling when they were wolves. Even though Arryn's "purring" was more or less a quiet, low growl, it was still adorable. He took a deep breath and sighed in a contented way. <I'm am happy to please you.> Dayn rolled onto his side so that he could snuggled up against her. <Feeling warmer now?>

 

[Dragongal]

<Mhm. Do you want to shift and make another blanket nest? Or no?> If he wanted, she could sing again. If it meant he could sleep well, she'd stay up late for him again.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn rolled over and stood up before shifting. "I'll grab them this time." Dayn pulled on his pants before gathering the blankets and pillows and bringing them to where they had been laying. He laid them down before sitting down himself and looking to Arryn with a smile. In many ways he was beyond thankful for Arryn. She had done everything to try and help keep his mind off of what was coming up. He wanted to try and repay that in some way. If it meant getting the blankets and pillows for a blanket nest, than so be it.

 

[Dragongal]

While Dayn was doing that, Arryn shifted and pulled on comfortable clothing, loose black pants and one of Dayn's shirts that was too big on her, but still comfy. Arryn smiled and burrowed under some of the blankets before playfully throwing one of the blankets over Dayn's head. "Still cold, love?" she laughed.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed before laying down and crawling under the blanket with Arryn. "Not any more, thankfully. Especially not when I do this." He wrapped his arms around her and rolled over before tickling her.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed and struggled, until finally she could only do one thing to try to stop him. She kissed him while lightly running her fingers down his spine, hoping it would be enough to stop him so she could catch her breath.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn found himself powerless to continue the tickling. His body shuddered as his hands came to rest on the small of Arryn's back. "You win love." He laid on his back, letting Arryn lay on top of him as he gently started to rub her back. "I love it when you do that."

 

[Dragongal]

"I know you do." Arryn said before kissing him, then nuzzling against his chest. "That's why I did it," she said as she kissed him again, running her fingers over his throat to see his response.

 

[BookWyrm]

Again the shudders came, this time with goosebumps. His hands had stopped halfway up her back and gently squeezed her sides as she ran her fingers over his throat. A half smile perked up as he sighed with content pleasure. "That wasn't bad either."

 

[Dragongal]

"Just testing," she said before kissing him lightly and grabbing the blanket around her shoulders, rolling off of him and taking the blanket with her. Maybe if she could keep him occupied with these tiny games, he couldn't worry.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Ooooooh.", Dayn groaned in mock frustration, "Right when I was getting comfortable too." Dayn grabbed her, cover and all, and laid on top of her, a smile spread out on his face. "Hmm, not sure where Arryn went, but this blanket sure is comfy."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn yelped quietly, struggling under the blanket, thought she was laughing. "Don't tempt me, I'll go wolf on you if I must."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn rolled off of her he was laughing so hard. "Oh the horrors. Being attacked by a big fluffy cuddle bug. What ever would I do?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn rolled over on top of him, putting the blanket between them. "Cuddle back, obviously."
