Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed before trying to get past the blanket, which in the end only made him laugh all the more until he finally managed to cuddle up against Arryn. He hugged her tight before pulling back slightly and laying a hand on her cheek. "Thank you Arryn, for everything." He looked at her for a few seconds before continuing. "Now, how about we relax a little bit. I know you want to make sure I'm okay, but I'd like you to try and get some sleep as well." Dayn knew Arryn would do everything in her power to keep him comfortable, even if it meant her denying herself sleep or some comforts.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded and rolled off of him, crawling up under the blanket an curling up against him, tucking her head under his chin. "Better?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn gently warpped his arms around Arryn and smiled. "Better." He couldn't help the fact that he wanted her to be comfortable as well. If she was going to go out of her way to comfort and care for him then he wanted to return the favor in some way. "Arryn, how has your shoulder been?" Dayn felt a little jealous about not having been able to work on it here recently.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shrugged. "Kind of stiff. I on't know if walking on four legs is helping it or harming it." It hadn't been bugging her too much, but theyn agaon, she hadn't been doing much to aggravate it.

 

[BookWyrm]

"I promise tomorrow I will get back on track on helping you recover. I'm sorry I haven't been over the past few days."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nuzzled against his chest. "Don't be sorry. I wouldn't have wanted you to help. Not in your condition. And we were busy with Yule, and well, my becoming a Moon-Born. Please don't be sorry."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Okay, okay." Dayn leaned down and kissed Arryn's forehead. "I know its been a rough bit here recently, but I did promise you I'd help you be able to use a sword again. I intend to keep it." Dayn would have said more, he wanted to say more, but within just a few seconds of laying back he dozed off.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and cuddled close to him, glad to see that he was asleep. She dozed off soon after, but once a few hours had passed, she sat up with a jolt. She wasn't scared, she hadn't had a nightmare, this was something entirely different. As she thought through things, she quietly muttered, "I remember...."

 

[BookWyrm]

"Huh?" Dayn shook his head as he sat up. He wasn't sure what had woken him up. He'd been dreaming about....what had been dreaming about anyway? But when he noticed Arryn sitting up and awake he reached out and laid his hand over hers. "Everything okay love?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shook her head. "Yeah, um... I mean... it wasn't a nightmare... I remember. That night at the barn. When I blacked out. I remember all of it. I mean, I don't think I want to, but I do. I remember healing you, I remember... crippling the hunter, torturing him... my voice sounded different...."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn was perhaps a bit more worried than he would have been if it had turned out to be a nightmare. "Okay. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shrugged. "I've never remembered before. This is... new." She looked at him and smiled reassuringly. She put her hand in the center of his chest and pushed him back so he'd lay down again, and nuzzled up against his neck. "I'm sure it's fine. Please, go back to sleep."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn wasn't going to protest. Despite being a little worried about Arryn he was at least thankful nothing bad seemed to be coming of the memory. Well, he hoped nothing bad would come of it. Within minutes he was fast asleep again. This time his dreams were over vast frozen lake. He and Arryn were standing out in the middle during a light snow, dancing together under the stars.

 

[Dragongal]

After a little while Arryn elt asleep again, her body quiet grateful for the rest. She'd been a bit disturbed by the memory of what she'd done, but she'd hidden it from Dayn. When she woke up in the morning, she laid still for a while before kissing Dayn while slowly running her fingers down his spine, figuring that was a nice was to wake him.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn arched his back some as Arryn ran her fingers down his spine. His first response after that was to kiss her back before opening his eyes. "Well, I'm awake now." He smiled in a lazy but happy fashion. "Good morning love. How'd you sleep?"

 

[Dragongal]

"Good," she said efore kissing him again, slowly bringing her fingers forward from his spine to his throat, "You?"

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn was really enjoying this new thing Arryn seemed to be doing. "I had the most interesting dream." He could his eyes, all the better to focus on her touch. "You and I were standing in the middle of a frozen lake. It was snowing around us lightly, the stars over head, and we were dancing."

 

[Dragongal]

"Sounds beautiful," she said, slowly moving from kissing his mouth to kissing along his jaw, then down his neck, her fingers lightly brushing over his spine.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn shuddered, chuckling slightly. "You seem to be in a good mood this morning." He gently traced circles up and down her back with his fingers.

 

[Dragongal]

"I just wanted to see how much I could make you shudder." Arryn said with a smile before slowly kissing his lips again, her fingersplaying lightly across his throat. This was a rather fun experiment.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Oh, please don't stop." Dayn was at Arryn's mercy now. It felt like his whole body had broken out in goosebumps as he shuddered. Again his hands had stopped moving, this time on the small of her back. His heart felt like it was going to beat through his chest as he smiled.

 

[Dragongal]

"Since you asked nicely," Arryn said with a wicked smile before kissing him again, lightly pushing against his chin to kiss his jaw, then trailing her fingers down his throat from there, her lips following slowly. She lightly brushed her fingers in small circles and trails along his throat as she kissed him. "Like this?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"Oh gods..." Dayn was definitely enjoying this. He wasn't exactly sure what Arryn was up to, but then again, he didn't care.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and pulled back a bit before kissing him slowly, passionately on the lips, her fingers caressing his cheek, then moving behind his ear, down his throat again. After a few moments, she pulled back and said, "I'm just so glad I have you, mo chroi." She started kissing along his jaw and throat again. That dream - the memories, actually - had spooked her. Dayn didn't know it, but he'd thrashed around, growling at her, seeming like he would bite at her, as she let him off the hooks. But when she woke up, he was still her calm, sweet, loving Dayn.

 

[BookWyrm]

"And I you love." Dayn just barely managed to get out the short phrase before Arryn started to kiss him again. He managed to take a shuddering breath. "Always, love." His hands managed to find their way back to their work as they gently rubbed and traced along her back. "Always."
