(lol, you're all good! It would definitely be interesting I think. If need be we can always have you step in as whoever took him if mari feels too boring for a bit, idc)

Sage hummed softly, nodding, though he wasn't sure whether he believed her or not. Part of him did, part of him didn't. It was confusing. "I wish I didn't have to," he murmured softly. Not that he didn't enjoy taking care of his family, but he wished that they'd just be safe. That there was no danger to them he needed to fight against. Though, at her next comment a small smile twitched the corner of his lip upwards. "If I got really hurt I'd have told you," he noted. "I just....sort of forgot about it for a while," he added, in a sort of quiet apology. Then, "it's on my left shoulder blade." He didn't care if she wanted to see it or not, but telling her where it was at reminded her he did trust her. He wanted her there. He appreciated her care.
