Of Fire and Swords [M] [Archive]

[DragonSong]

Kit flew a while longer, then slowly began a descent, still quiet and contemplative.

[Medievarad]

Mist sat up as Kit made his slow descent. He put a hand on Kiara's shoulder, not to wake her, but to keep her steady during the descent.

He glanced down at her with a soft smile. "You look so peaceful when sleeping," he murmured softly, letting out a soft chuckle.

[DragonSong]

"Shhh," Kiaa mumbled, woken by the slight jostlin of landing. "It's still naptime...."

[Medievarad]

Mist smirked softly. And as Kit settled down, he gently picked Kiara up in his arms, before jumping down from Kit, landing with a soft thud.

[DragonSong]

Kiara made a sound like a startled kitten and clung a little tighter to Mist's shoulders.

[Medievarad]

The smirk widened slightly as she made such noise. It was adorable. But, nevertheless, he glanced up at Kit. "May I?" He inquired with a frown. He knew Kiara preferred sleeping close to Kit. And that he allowed Mist to rest against him on her invitation.

But he wasn't sure today was the same.

[DragonSong]

Kit huffed and raised his wing in invitation. "If you must."

[Medievarad]

Mist smirked slowly. His rather petulant response made him immediately think of Kiara. She more than often gave similair responses.

But, he said nothing, rather leaned in against Kit's scales, sliding down to sit down, laying Kiara to rest against his chest.

Forgetting he still was wearing the cold metal chestplate.

[DragonSong]

Kiara frowned and squirmed, still half asleep. "Mi-ist," she complained groggily, "take the armor off before you come to bed..."

[Medievarad]

"Bed?" Mist inquired with a soft chuckle. "When's the last time you've slept in a bed?" He murmured softly, but nevertheless, he sat up slightly and pushed Kiara up, starting to work on the straps of his armour. Though progress was slow.

As it was with but one hand.

[DragonSong]

The younger rider huffed and rolled onto her side, though her hand groped for him blindly, finally finding his leg and settling there as she seemed to relax slightly, breathing evening out.

[Medievarad]

He finally managed to slip off the most of his armour, discarding it to the side with a soft thud. He brought his other hand up to slip underneath Kiara's arm and pull her closer against his chest again.

He closed his eyes, waiting for sleep to overtake him. But it never did.

[DragonSong]

Kiara curled into him and seemed to sink back into a deeper sleep, the lines in her brow smoothing out slightly.

[Medievarad]

Mist wrapped his arm around her. And waited. Waiting forforward her to wake up again.

Good to know sleep physically impossible.

[DragonSong]

Kit woke before his rider, stretching and arching his wings out and up. Kiara stirred slightly, mumbling tiredly, only half awake.

[Medievarad]

Well, if he couldn't sleep, he could at least rest his eyes. And per extension, rest his muscles. No complaining to take time doing just that.

He opened his eyes and glanced down at Kiara, smiling softly as she woke. "Slept well?" He inquired after what he deemed to be enough time to be at least fully conscious.

[DragonSong]

"Mph." She blinked and peered up at him. "Oh. Mornin'." She yawned.

[Medievarad]

"Morning," he answered with a soft chuckle. Mist leaned forward to press his lips against her forehead, before stretching the corrupted armof upwards.

[DragonSong]

Kiara smiled and nuzzled into him. "Mmm, what time is it? Should we get moving?"

[Medievarad]

"I guess an hour after sunrise," he answered, taking a deep breath. "We should. We still need to catch up with Renkaryn."
