Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

<I had the most interesting dream, but I can't remember what it was about for the life of me.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn closed her eyes as she laid against him. "That's an awful shame. but waking up isn't too bad, right?"

 

[BookWyrm]

<Dreams have no comparison to you my love.> Dayn was content just to snuggle up with her for a little while. Besides, it was cold, he was warm, and Arryn was comfy.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn let herself lightly doze for a bit, occasionally reaching up to scratch behind Dayn's ear or under his chin, every once in a time petting him slowly. "I love just cuddling like this."

 

[BookWyrm]

<Its a nice change of pace from the last few weeks for sure.> Dayn slowly moved his tail around to the bottom of Arryn's foot before fluffing it out and wiggling it against her foot. He knew it aggravated her, but he enjoyed poking fun with her.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn pulled her foot away. "I say how much I love cuddling and you mess with your tail." Arryn was smiling as she said this, clearly not mad. After a few moments, she leaned against Dayn and said, "thanks for waking me last night by the way."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn couldn't help but smile at Arryn's comment about his tail. He chuffed merrily as he nuzzled against her cheek. When she mentioned the previous night Dayn gently licked her cheek. <Always, love. I am just happy I caught it quick this time.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled before pulling him close, pressing her head against his. "I love you, Dayn. I love how you take care of me. I love how you're protective. I love how you're sweet. I love how you're playful. I love you as a wolf or a man. I love you as my husband. I love you as my best friend."

 

[BookWyrm]

Arryn had successfully made him pause. His eloquence and poetry failed him in a dire time of need. Instead, his ears laid back as he rubbed his face slowly against Arryn's. He made sure to be tender and affectionate, dipping down to brush against her neck some as well. Why did my words have to fail me now?

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn gently petted along his neck while he caressed her in his own way. She got the message without the words he lacked. This moment was intensely intimate, and she didn't want to ruin it with unneeded words.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn slowly tucked his head under Arryn's chin, carefully laying across her neck before purring. Something about this quiet moment felt good, perhaps even better with the fact that they didn't try to force the words to come.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled, hugging him close to her. After a few more of the wonderful, quiet moments, she quietly asked, "Would you like me to join you as a wolf, or do you want to curl up while I start on some potions?"

 

[BookWyrm]

There was a tempting thought. But, Arryn even said she felt awkward as a wolf. <If you want to work on potions first I can always curl up and wait. As long as you don't drop something on me that'll cause my fur to fall out anyway.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn chuckled. "I don't generally work with any chemicals like that." Arryn had left her regents and materials out early, now she just had to add more wood into the fire as she pulled ingredients together. "Can you light it? I know you're a wolf and all, but still...?"

 

[BookWyrm]

<Easy.> Dayn focused on the fire for a second before it caught and spread to the fresh logs. He stood up and stretched out before curling around Arryn as she sat down, a smug smile on his face.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn idly pet his head before resuming her work. It didn't take her long to make a simple pain relieving potion and pour it into vials. The strength potion was a bit longer, as it was a tricky process that required careful mana manipulation. A healing draught was simple but used expensive ingredients, and the mana potion took a lot of mana. The whole time, Arryn would occasionally pet Dayn or explain something before continuing. When Arryn finally finished, she undressed, taking off her ring and necklaces, then focused and shifted, laying down next to Dayn and nudging him.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn had watched and listened with interest as Arryn had worked on her potions. Of course he probably would never be able to work with the alchemy, but it gave him an excuse to curl up around his wife, so he wasn't complaining. When Arryn had shifted and nudged against him Dayn turned around, his ears laying back as he licked her muzzle before nuzzling against her neck. <Just as beautiful as ever.>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn cuddled up close to him and put her head under his before laying it down with a huff, right on top of his paws. She looked up at him with a smile, while still keeping her head over his paws. <Thank you. By the way, you're my captive now.>

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn huffed, despite the smile, and laid his head down over Arryn's. <Oh? Do I need to be worried?>

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn turned and nuzzled against his neck, then under his chin. She lightly nipped at his neck. <If you want to move, yes. I'm comfy here.>

 

[BookWyrm]

Now she was getting playful. <I think I'm content to stay put for a while actually.> Dayn snaked his head down and playfully nipped at Arryn before laying his head down, his tail wagging back on forth.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn decided to try a new tactic. She withdrew her head, looking at him before getting back up and pushing him over, quickly laying her head ovre one of his paws and putting her body against his so he couldn't roll back over.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn huffed, trying to roll over only to be caught by Arryn. So, instead he laid over and nuzzled against her neck. If he couldn't move her by force, he would move her with affection.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn moved a bit and nuzzled under his chin in response. After a few moments she huffed. <I was hoping for a reaction. Nevermind. Let's just cuddle.> Arryn stood up and circled around him before laying beside him, her tail wagging slightly.

 

[BookWyrm]

<I don't mind playing if you are still in the mood.> Dayn rolled over and wrapped his paws around her. <That was just my ruse!> Dayn laid his ears back in mock aggression before gnawing on Arryn and growling, hoping to inspire her to play back.
