"I mean, I don't NEED it. But, I think it's kinda gross." The girl chuckled. She noticed Sage sit back a bit and she looked down. "I guess it helps a bit." Aria said with a slight grin. She ran her fingers through her wavy hair.

Sage chuckled and shrugged. "And you've never tried it?" He wrinkled his nose slightly. "I'm asking a lot of questions aren't I," he asked. He kinda felt bad, but he wanted to know more.

"I have a while ago..." Aria said. She smiled. "Yes. You really are asking a lot of questions." The girl laughed. "And I should get going!" Aria said, leaning back into Sage before she had to go.

Sage chuckled slightly and cocked his head. "Really? What was it like," he asked, a wide grin on his face before wrinkling his nose again. "Sorry, sorry," he chuckled. "I just think it's really cool," he admitted sheepishly. He nodded and squeezed the girl before forcing himself to release her. "I'll see you tomorrow?"

Aria smiled. "I'm not answering that!" She giggled. The girl sort of wrapped her arms around Sage when he hugged her. "Yes. I'll be here tomorrow!" The girl grinned before getting up. She patted Axel and hopped on him before giving Sage a slight wave.

Sage chuckled and shrugged before he felt his grin get wider at the girl's hug. He hugged her back before she moved away and waved. He waved back, still grinning dumbly as he lept back in chaos happily.

Aria smiled at Sage and galloped off on Axel. When they got home, the girl put Axel in the small barn and headed inside. She took a quick shower and got into bed. Darkness flodded her room. Aria just wanted to run to Sage and be with him instead of in the dark room, but she didn't want to just intrude in the castle. The girl hoped Sage felt the same and he would come back for her. But that probably wouldn't happen.

Sage went home, and was immediately found and ushered off to do more chores. Though, he found that thinking about Aria helped pass the time. It was quite dark by the time he got done. It was around midnight, and he knew he'd be woken at dawn to do more, so after a moment of hesitation, he sighed and crept down to arias cottage and peeked through the window. "you up," he whispered tiredly.

Aria jumped at the sound of the boy. "Sage! You scared me!" She giggled tiredly. The girl sat up and looked at Sage. "Why are you here?" Aria asked Sage with a cocked head. "Are you okay?"
|

|

|
Sage gave the girl a sheepish grin. "Sorry," he chuckled. Then he nodded quickly. "I'm fine...I just didn't want to sleep in my room and be woken up at dawn to do more chores," he sighed. "You don't mind if I chill here for the night, do you? I uh ...I can sleep on the couch," he hummed.
