The woman gave a small huff of air to him before curling an arm around his side when he curled up against her. She sort of looked over at the clock before giving a soft breath... it was six in the morning. She groaned gently before closing her eyes quietly, just trying to get back to sleep. She was so tired, and yet all she wanted to do was get up and do something. She groaned and covered her eyes, sort of just trying to relax.

Sage had noted the girls groan, and honestly just curled up around her deeper so she wouldn't be able to get up and leave him. At least now yet. The kids weren't up, and hadn't been waking up early for a bit of time now, so they could stand to lay around for a while. Besides, if she was going to make him start rehabbing and such, he figured he deserved cuddles. He'd head down to the doctors today, to get his stitches out...he hoped it would be easier to do stuff but he also didn't want Mari to just stop some of the things that had happened. Like...he really, really, liked her to wash his hair. And she wouldn't have to do it anymore. And he wasn't going to ask her to do it....but he sort of wished she would.

The woman gave a small groan when he curled around her more, and sort of just relaxed her muscles quietly. She sighed and moved to peck the top of his head, just trying to get comfortable while she was trying not to get up and do something. She didn't know what she'd do when she was up, but it was just... something, she supposed. She hadn't been used to feeling so useless for a long time now. And, yes, she'd be helping Sage... but obviously not enough to keep her occupied.

Sage felt a small smile flicker onto his face when he felt Mari curl up with him. Good, it meant she would stay, at least for a little while. He lay around lazily for a while, before sort of just running his fingers through her hair tiredly. It was mostly absentmindedly, but also he sort of felt like he needed to be doing something to get her to stay and not get up soon. He knew she wanted to work....but still.

The woman eventually rolled onto her back, not able to sit still any longer really. She just sort of looked at her husband and furrowed her brows. Did he want her to stay? Did he need her there? She didn't know. She just couldn't sit still any more. She sort of just sighed and moved to bury her head into his chest, admittedly rather enjoying the way he wa playing with her hair.

Sage was admittedly still half asleep, so he wasn't really paying attention to the girl. He knew she was probably impatient and wanted to go do something....but she was warm and cozy and he was sort of almost upset he was getting better, because it meant she wouldn't be around helping him and spending time with him like she did when he was hurt. It wasn't like he was completely dependent on her....but it was nice to actually spend time with her for more than meals and such. When she buried herself back into his chest though, he let out a sort of happy sounding hum, just glad she was there. If she really wanted up, he of course would let her get up, but still.

The woman felt a small smight spread across her face at his little hum... good, he was happy. That was all she wanted from him. She wanted for him to be happy. She glanced up at him, and he still looked half asleep. Again, something that brought a smile to her face. "You up?" she whispered gently to him, her hand sort of trailing up and down his side in a way that she hoped to be soothing. He wasn't up really, she knew that, but she still did think it was sweet to see him half awake.

Sage felt a sort of smile flicker across his face when he heard her voice, though he didn't really register any of her words, so he sort of just let out a grunt in response to.... whatever she'd said. Though, he did make the move to wriggle in when she moved to run her fingers up and down his side. She did it often, and he did like it....though it was more likely to put him back to sleep at this point than anything, which was a rather amusing though if he was being completely honest.

The woman couldn't help the small chuckle at his little grunt, and sort of gave him a little squeeze when he curled in. She moved to peck his chest, though, after another five or so minutes she got up to start the day. She moved slowly, so that she didn't wake Sage, and moved to peck his forehead and tucked him into bed so that he didn't get cold. She sort of smile and went to go shower, just trying to wake herself up a little bit while she thought about what they'd want for breakfast... well, more like brunch now. And dinner, too... Sage could rest for now, he was going to see the doctor in a few hours to get his stitches out. She had to admit, she sort of didn't want them to. She knew it meant he was getting better, but was it bad that she wanted to look after him? She felt needed by him when she was like this. It was so selfish, she knew that, but... ugh, why was it so hard? She sort of moved to lean against the wall, just enjoying the warm water for a while.

Sage had drifted off soon enough, again, thanks to Maris little up and down movement. So, he didn't notice her get up after a while, and stayed there for maybe another 45 minutes or so before waking up and running a hand over his face with a sigh. He supposed he'd better get up, as the day was starting and one of them should be ready to get the kids some food...they'd probably be up soon if they weren't already. Mari was showering, but he wandered into the bathroom to wash his face and shave, since it had been a hot second since he could stand long enough to do that, and just get ready for the day while she showered. It was a comfortable silence...both of them just getting ready, as they normally did.
