Sage sighed when Mari just grumbled, but he knew her well enough by then to know what she was thinking about. Worrying about. He leaned into her touch when she ran her fingers through his hair, but nodded softly when she mentioned coming right back. "That was my plan," he noted softly. He knew she didn't really want him involved in this ...but they weren't safe without knowing anything about what all was happening out there. He was at a loss of what to do, but fighting was what he was confident in, so if gathering information was their way of fighting back, then that was what he'd do. He'd be careful, and wouldn't get too involved....but his family came first, and Anya would know that.
