Sage hummed softly and offered Mari a smile, pecking her lips lightly when she leaned in. "I'm just glad she came for help rather than spiraling down and not doing anything to help herself," he hummed after a moment. It could have gone much worse if she hadn't stopped by. "We should visit the doctor as a family soon though....hes missing the queen too," he added. "I stopped by...he's alright, but I think ilhed appreciate seeing the kids and such."

Mari smiled gently to him after a moment, and gently rested her hand on his chest as she flopped down next to him. "It's a good thing you're around for her. I'm a bit worried about all of this," she whispered after a moment. She didn't trust Anya muc, but she was glad he could help. She nodded when he suggested meeting with the doctor, though. It was a good idea. They hadn't seen him in a while, and hopefully the kids would help him out.

Sage sort of sighed and nodded. "I'm hoping once she gives herself some time to grieve without any pressure on her she'll be able to take the crown and handle it all as well as I know she's capable of," he murmured. He couldn't be sure of what would happen ...but he could hope. He nodded when she agreed they should go visit the doctor, letting out a soft breath after a moment. "We'll be alright," he hummed softly.

Mari nodded along with him. It was a good idea... she was pretty worried about the woman. She didn't want her to take everything on while she was dealing with her parents. It would be pretty scary. She thought so, anyway. She sighed after a moment and sat up again, sitting crossed legged on the couch. "That's smart. Have a bit of time, recover and get back to it," he murmured. He then gave a soft smile. "I know we'll be fine," she whispered softly after a moment or two. "We've never not been fine," she mused lightly.

Sage nodded in response to her comment, chuckling softly. "I meant the kingdom, but we as a family will always be alright," he noted, voice laced with amusement. He pecked her head lightly, sort of nestling in a little bit. "I do want to head over there and check in on her relatively often though....at least for a week or two," he admitted softly. She was alone over there ....and he knew all too well how just having someone there for you could change things. Having someone to support him had meant the world to him ...so no doubt it would help Anya too.

Mari rolled her eyes at him, and wrapped her arm around him when he started to nestle in. "The kingdom will be fine too... I'm more worried about us as a family. You guys are my main worry," she murmured. She was a little bit worried about all of them. She needed everything to go well. She sighed softly after a moment, and rested her head lightly on top of his. She agreed that they should be going over, though. Anya needed support, and she did think that the doctor would need to be checked in on. He always looked after everyone else, but he would need checking in on every so often. She sighed and stood up after a moment. "I need to get the kids to school...then I'm gonna head off to the tavern. You gonna be okay?" She asked lightly.

Sage hummed lightly in response to her comments, nodding along. "I know," he mused softly. "This place is our priority," he added, though when she spoke up again, he nodded and pecked her lips lightly as she moved to head out. "I'll be fine. I'll head out to the barn in a few minutes," he hummed, sort of waving her off. He did say hi to the kids and help them get ready for school once they came down, but then once they left the house he sort of flopped down on the couch for a bit longer before moving to go get the horses taken care of.

Mari smiled and quickly ran to get both herself and their children ready. Both Silas and Liz seemed to be in a good mood... that was good. They were much easier to handle like this, even if they never were very difficult. She soon left the house and dropped the kids off at school before wandering over to the tavern. It was surprisingly busy, considering it was only morning. She supposed people had heard about the death of their monarchs, and were trying to soothe their worries. That was fine. Things went smoothly until an hour before her shift ended, when a few more difficult customers came in. They weren't inappropriate at all, just frustrating in a way that put her in a rather sour mood. She finished up soon enough, though, and went to pick up the kids before wandering home, still a little worked up but definitely glad to be heading back. Once in the house, she told the kids to go get showered and change before doing a bit of homework before flopping on the sofa with a heavy breath of air.

Sage had moved to spend the day out at the barn, knowing he should make use of the extra few hours in terms of working with foals and all the rest. He had brought lunch out with him, so he just ate quick under the shade of the tree in Chaos's paddock, glad to just relax outside and spend some time with the animal. Amber had settled down next to him, though soon enough found a patch of warm sun to doze off in while he finished working. Soon enough though, he'd wandered back in, greeting a rather tired looking Mari and wandering upstairs to wash himself up before he came back over and flopped down on the couch all messy. Mari might have his head for that one. It was an amuseing thought, really.

Mari rested on the couch tiredly, although when Sage came in she greeted him with her usual smile. Her head flopped back on the couch until he came back downstairs and flopped down next to her. She watched him for amoment before humming softly. "Sage, come here," she complained, sort of holding her hands out for him.
