Sage sort of groaned and shifted to sit up, nodding along. "Alright," he noted softly, though a yawn broke his words halfway through. He took the try from her with a thanks, then just worked at eating while he woke up. By the time he'd finished, he was pretty much as awake as he'd ever be, so he moved to runnage around in the closet and find an outfit suitable for the barn before wandering out there, pecking Mari on the cheek on the way out

Mari watched him wander out with a little smile across her face, and sort of grabbed the tray to clear up before wandering off to grab the kids. They met her happily, and she thanked her mother for watching them. It had been needed - a lovely night in and a quiet morning. It was pretty perfect, and again, very needed. They wandered back quietly, her eyes light as they wandered into the house. She gave the kids their lunch before then ran off to the yard to see their dad, and she flopped down on one of the chairs on the poarch with a soft breath of air.

Sage had moved to take care of the horses after a while happily, sort of just wandering around and feeding and watering. The kids had come running in after a while, so he gave them each a small bit of oats and hay and such to give to their ponies and any horses they might want. He figured they couldn't carry a whole bucket, and he'd already fed the animals, but they could have a couple handfuls of gain to feed whoever. The horses certainly didn't mind. Soon enough though it was time for lunch, so he finished up what he was doing and then headed the kids out and back up to the house where he knew Mari would be about ready with lunch.
