Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

"I know. I'm still not the most comfortable in my wolf form yet. You're definitely better at it than I am, and I am okay with that." Arryn smiled as Dayn licked her neck. She knew he was just trying to take care of her.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn nuzzled against Arryn lovingly. <I'm just happy that you are okay with it. Not every bride would appreciate their husband being a wolf like you do.>

 

[Dragongal]

"How could anyone dislike it when you make such a good pillow? And you're so warm, too." Arryn began slowly petting Dayn as she laid her head against his shoulder.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn's ears perked up, his tail wagging gently against Arryn's leg. <Do you only love it for the comfort though?> He knew there was more to it, but he was curious, and they had been rather playful all day, so he wanted to continue to the game.

 

[Dragongal]

"Of course not. You're awful cute too. And protective. And you can hunt really well as a wolf. And you seem to like it. And it's fun. What's there not to like?"

 

[BookWyrm]

<And you win a complimentary nuzzle of affection.> Dayn leaned in and nuzzled Arryn for several seconds before adjusting and getting comfortable as he curled around her again. He slowly moved his tail up under Arryn's shirt and wiggled the tip against her exposed belly mischievously.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered and pulled his tail away. "You're getting mean with that tail." Arryn settled down against his side and continued petting from his head down to his shoulders.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn shuddered slightly. It was so weird that something simple, like Arryn petting his head and shoulders, felt so good. <Sometimes it feels weird not being able to hold you. But in a way I still get the same feeling by curling up around you.>

 

[Dragongal]

"Understandable. Though you did once lay on your side and put your arm over me, so that's basically holding me. I don't know, I don't really mind, but you're warm either way.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn slowly stood up and walked around before laying down in front of Arryn. He scooted closer to her before reaching out and carefully pulling her against his chest. He tucked his head down around her shoulder as he curled the rest of his body around her. <How is this?>

 

[Dragongal]

"This is good. I like this." Arryn smiled as she wrapped her arm around Dayn's neck as best she could and nuzzled against his chest.

 

[BookWyrm]

<Good.> Dayn purred contently as he snuggled up against Arryn. He felt oddly protective of her now, and being this close helped ease it off some.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn closed her eye as she laid against Dayn. After a bit of time had passed, she quietly said, "Dayn...? I'm... I'm tired, but... I'm kind of scared to sleep. You're going to stay here though, right?" Of course he more than likely would, for some reason she had to ask. It was more like she was asking permission to sleep, though. If it was okay to sleep even though she was scared.

 

[BookWyrm]

<Always.> Dayn leaned back and nuzzled against her neck, licking it lovingly before tucking his head back down around her. <I'll be right here.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled and closed her eyes, letting herself fall asleep. A few minutes in, she started twitching and fidgeting a bit, a bad dream already having caught her.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn had been dozing lightly when Arryn's twitching shook him. He pulled his head back and licked Arryn's neck and face as he tried to wake her up.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn woke up confused, looking at Dayn. She smiled and ran her hand through his fur from his head down to his shoulders a few times, before laying down again. "Thanks, love." It didn't take long for sleep to claim her again.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn sighed. Thankfully he had caught this one before it got out of hand. He tucked his head down over Arryn again before dozing off once more, perhaps a tad bit heavier this time.

 

[Dragongal]

At one point Arryn opened her eyes a bit, reaching out and grabbing Dayn's paw lightly. The fire had died down a bit, so she adjusted her position to take more advantage of Dayn's warmth before going back to sleep.

 

[BookWyrm]

Sometime while he was asleep, perhaps going along with the fire dying down, Dayn curled up tighter around Arryn. It wasn't tight or uncomfortable, but cozy and warm, especially since he had fluffed out his coat. When he woke up again he realized that it had to be late night or early morning. He couldn't tell the difference, but it was still too early to be awake. Laying his head back down Dayn found his way back to sleep swiftly.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn woke up, noting some light between the slats on the windows. She didn't want to move though, she was too comfortable. Sometime while she'd been asleep, he'd curled up tightly about her, which was nice since he was so warm. She slowly started rubbing her thumb over his palm, trying to wake him gently, or let him sleep if that didn't do it.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn twitched, his ear flicking slightly as he mewled quietly. His paw spasmed gently as he mewled again. He was dreaming, though he wasn't sure what it was. It was more emotional than visual. His tail wagged gently as he chirped happily, though as he was starting to wake slowly.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled at his reaction. She would have stopped since he seemed to be in a deep sleep, but she couldn't help but scratch behind his ear with her spare hind, whil still rubbing his paw with her other hand.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn unconsciously lowered his head and purred contently as he rubbed up against Arryn. Something about the feeling of both his ears being scratched and Arryn's rubbing his palm started to wake him though. He yawned and stretched out, gently pushing against Arryn on accident, before laying his head back against her shoulder and opening his eyes. <Good morning love.>

 

[Dragongal]

"Morning," Arryn said with a smile before wrapping her arms around his neck and nuzzling against his neck.
