Quinn made sure her grip was tight as he lowered her out the window. Sahara leaded in place, but didn't move. "Thanks. " Quinn whispered, watching him disappear to go get changed. He reappeared a minute later, and, with blankets in hand, Quinn told Sahara to canter, then gallop down the moonlit trail. She smiled as they go at back to the river, and she dismounted, finding a dry patch of grass and laying out one of the blankets. Then she realized she grabbed three. "Extra warmth." She thought, giving the other two to Sage

Sage let chaos gallop next to the other horse until they got down to the river again, and after a moment he took the other two blankets, as well as some other, and made a kind of fort or mini house type of thing with them on a tree, piling the rest on the ground. They could lay on some, though the grass underneath was plenty soft, and there were plenty to cuddle up in as well. He crawled into it after a moment, humming happily. There was enough room for the girl to sleep away from him if she felt uncomfortable. Though, if they were getting married, they'd have to sleep together at some point. But that was fine, it didn't have to be now.

Quinn watched Sage make the kind of fort, and looked up at the stars. Her parents didn't even let her bring a SWEATSHIRT. "I should've snuck that in too..." Quinn muttered, starting to shiver. She curled up in her one blanket outside, hoping to fall asleep from numbness of cold.

Sage popped his head out and gave the girl a look. "Don't stay out there and catch a cold," he huffed, though more amused than anything, and definitely not upset. "Come in....I made plenty of room," he hummed before sliding back in and curling up in the blankets on one side on the fort, waiting for the girl to come in. It was much warmer in here than our there...and she could use his sweatshirt if she wanted, he was fine for now.

Quinn heard Sage, and sighed. She knew he was right, yet she was still a prideful girl. "Best be warm then have your pride... dead from a cold." She muttered, and smiled gratefully at Sage after she crawled in. She wrapped her blanket around her and felt warmer, falling asleep immediately, her black hair strewn across his shoulders.

Sage glanced up when the girl was settled and chuckled when she fell asleep almost immediately. He curled up and closed his eyes as well, falling asleep quite quickly himself. He slept fairly well, and woke up close to dawn. He checked on the horses before curling back up again and falling back asleep. He always looked much more at peace asleep...all the stress and worried and hard work melted away, and it was a welcome rest each time, as long as nightmares didn't plague him.

Quinn woke a little after dawn To see the horses eating happily, and Sage asleep. She got up quietly, taking her undergarmets she hung out to dry. She walked about a mile up river, then undressed and washed quickly. Quinn relaxed in the stream for a couple minutes, enjoying the peace and quiet.

Sage slept for a while and when he woke up he sort of lay around for a bit waking up. He was definitely not a morning person, he hated waking up. Though, after a while he sighed and crept out, figuring the girl was off doing her own business. He took his shirt off and washed his arms and whatnot a bit, as well as his face, just to freshen up a bit.

Quinn got out of the water and pulled on her shirts and a tank top, then pulled on her t shirt and jeans beforehand walking back to the campsite. She stopped when she Saw Sage washing his face, and blushed slightly before backing up and turning around. Quinn accidentally stepped on a stick, making a very soft crack. She turned around again and pretended she was just coming, wincing.

Sage cocked his head slightly and chuckled when he heard the girl come up. "You do realize I'm a guy right," he noted with amusement. "I have my shirt off, not my pants. Relax," he chuckled lightly. He was a bit amused at her embarrassment, admittedky.
