Anya gave a light chuckle, "I know how to do it... I'm just not very good at it." She murmured lightly. She watched for a moment as a hot flush rolled onto his cheeks, only making her grin get bigger. She leaned in slightly and lightly hooked a finger around the neck of his tunic before guiding him in a tiny bit closer. "Aww, does someone like being hot?" She asked with a soft giggle before tugging him in for a gentle kiss on the lips before softly pushing him back again. "You're adorable. I could say anything and you'd just get all flushed about it!" She giggled, her words a tiny bit drawn out. Edited at September 11, 2022 03:35 AM by Belle

Sage huffed out a playfully annoyed breath at her words, trying desperately to think of a decent response. But he couldn't think of anything, let alone after the kiss. One minute she was calling him hot, the next he was adorable. He'd barely been complimented in his life, and here Anya was complimenting him left and right. She may have just been playing, but it was still true, she did think those things about him. "I can make you blush just fine," he grumbled, though he wasn't actually upset. It was actually pretty difficult to keep a pouty face on instead of a smile.

The girl nodded slightly. "I never said you couldn't. You're actually quite good at making me blush, try you try a little," She hummed thoughtfully. "It's just sweet when you get all flustered. Especially after seeing you with murder in your eyes." She cackled brightly. She really way only messing with him, but she did mean it. She thought the world of Sage, she had from the very start, and although she might not be in the right mind right then, she would always admit that her feelings for the boy only got stronger the longer she was around him.

Sage groaned and rolled his eyes with a slight laugh. "You are a horrible person," he huffed, though it was all in teasing. And he did enjoy her teasing...it was all nice, and he did like having that little bit of comfortable jesting in their relationship. It made things more natural, and it was easier to get along...they didn't have to worry about saying something wrong and offending the other person or make them shrunk away from the other. It was all so...easygoing.

Anya rolled her eyes slightly, "Aw but you know you love me! And if I'm a horrible person, then what the hell does that make you?" She asked with a slight pout. She looked for a moment, finding herself all fidgety. If she wasn't dosed up on whatever the doctor hand given her, plus a little drink, she would probably be more concerned about what Sage was thinking about her. While the girl was genuinely nice, she did had a rather flirtatious personality. While that wouldn't be an issue with anyone else, she would almost be worried that it might become a bit much for Sage. That was most likely something she'd come to have concern for later on. She raised a brow at the boy for a moment, "hey, how do you feel? Like you can walk at all?" She asked with a cocked head. Anya wasn't exactly fit to walk, all considering, but she didn't want to be grounded in her room all day, which was probably why she was sat on Sages bed right then. Though, she did assumed that he wouldn't want to be stuck in one place either. "Why don't we go for a wander or something? The gardens here are to die for."

Sage snorted out a laugh and then cocked his head slightly when she mentioned going on a walk. "A wander sounds great to me. I can manage something." Once they got there they could rest anyway, and it was better than just sitting here all the time. It would give someone a chance to drop something off in his room too...he'd noticed the servants looking in with things and leaving when he was in there. He didn't blame them....he'd killed plenty of people and was in a kind of bad mood whenever he wasn't with Anya. But a walk would do them both good...they'd have to walk around eventually. He slid off the bed and looked over at the girl. "Show me around, then," he chirped.

The girl grinned and padded towards the door before swinging it open for him. "Ladies first," she cackled lightly before closing the door behind him and wandering by his side. She wanted to show him everything... the gardens, the throne room, the jousting fields, dining halls, and where the guards and soldiers would have their training... she thought Sage would like that last one. If he was going to stay here for a while, it might be good for him to know where all those things were. Though, she was sort of keeping an eye on the boy. He had not been on his feet as far as she knew for the last couple of weeks... Anya had managed, but she was healthy before they got nabbed, so she wasn't in such a bad state as Sage. They would probably be best not to go too fat for now, so they could have a little wander around the gardens for the time being.

Sage nodded and followed her down the halls, looking around as they went. It wasn't anything he'd ever seen before..he'd been in Anya's room, on the balcony, but at night, and they were in a rush, so he didn't get to really see any of the castle. It was really beautiful...he had to admit that. A bit extra, maybe, but beautiful none the less. Anya fit right in ...she was pretty herself, and seeing her in daylight only confirmed her beauty. He found himself watching her bounce along instead of looking around the castle. His cheeks colored slightly, and he looked away from her, less it hit awkward or someone saw them. They had to act like friends in public, nothing more. That would be difficult. But he was glad to get out, at least for a bit.

The girl wandered along, still keeping a careful eye on Sage. He was walking fine, but she was finding herself worried that he'd take a weird step, or that he'd trip up or something... it was a good thing she wasn't exactly in the right state of mind, or she would most likely be trying to hold him up, just to ensure his safety... but Sage was a lot hardier than needing someone to hold him up like that. If he needed help she would give him a hand, but only if he asked this time. Though she did spot Sage looking at her from the corner of her eye, and she couldn't help the grin that fell onto her face. She wanted to talk to him a little, to discuss how long he was planning to stay, but her still giggles weren't going to let a serious conversation happen. She was best to keep her mouth shut until they were out of the eye of the maids since they were already getting strange looks.

Sage focused on looking around and getting to know the place. He didn't plan on laying around for long, and Anya wouldn't always be with him. Once he could walk around for a bit he fully planned on running instead of walking ...he'd need to bring himself back to where he was before he was kidnapped. Or better, so it wouldn't happen again. But for now, walking was as good as he could manage. He was tired after walking across half the castle, but he controlled his breathing and ignored his tired leg muscles. He was enjoying this...he didn't want to stop. Besides, pushing himself is what would bring his strength back up. As long as he didn't over do it, which he'd admittedly done before.
