Sage laughed softly in response to her comment, shaking his head. "If you can sleep with me five feet away, you can sleep with me one foot away," he pointed out. "Besides, I don't snore," he added, protesting with a light laugh at the thought of it all. |

|
She smiled with a slight smirk, nodding in relief. "Good," Elara noted, shifting to get up. "Oh and by they way, might be a bit less than a foot." With that she got up, walking inside. |

Sage just grinned at her as she rose, lifting his shoulders in a shrug as he moved to sit up. "If you're implying you want to cuddle, I don't mind at all," he called back, just chuckling softly to himself as she moved back into the cabin, a grin still plastered on his face. |

Elara smiled, pausing in the doorway for a moment. "Good then, won't be so cold once winter gets here!" She called with a chuckle, slipping the door shut as she hummed happily. |
| |
|
| |
|
Sage just watched her slip away, grin lingering on his face. His pulse was still rapid, face still flushed, and he moved to distract himself with poking at the fire again. But he was happy. Really happy. The morning had worked out better than he'd expected it to. He set to work fixing breakfast soon enough, knowing people would be getting hungry soon, though Elara lingered in his mind. |

Elara grabbed a handful of berries from the basket they all used, eating them one by one as her stomach growled. Sage still remained in her mind, his laugh echoing inside her skull. Gods, it went right for once! She had been worried all morning that she'd mess something up, yet was glad she didn't. |

Sage had started the meat quickly, settling down beside the fire as Liz ran up to him. He wrapped his arms around her with a laugh, sort of gently wrestling her into his lap as she shrieked and giggled. |

|
| |
|
Elara grabbed the basket, pulling a cloak around her shoulders and bringing an extra incase Sage or Liz wanted it. The woman walked outside, sitting down beside Sage as she offered the cloak, warming her hands over the fire as she set the basket between them. "Thought one of you two would want this," She noted |

Sage had glanced over at elara when he heard her come back out, Liz escaping his grip with a giggle and moving to run back off again. He stopped her, quickly taking the cloak from Elara and wrapping it around her. "Stay warm, yeah? It's getting cold out," he warned the younger girl gently before releasing her again. He turned back to Elara with a chuckle and a shake of his head, grinning and offering her a thanks. |

|
She nodded, returning his smile as she leaned into him. "Figured I may as well, didn't want you two to freeze to death." Elara noted with a soft chuckle, the blazing fire cracking every so often, the heat radiating onto her. |
