Aria giggled at his last comment. She also, could not wait for later that night. It had been... what felt like forever, since she was able to something like that with Sage.

Sage grinned and pecked her forehead and then rolled out of bed when he heard henry crying. He'd woken up and was probably ready for a bottle again.

Aria got up also, and walked out to the kitchen. She grabbed a bottle for Henry and smiled as she handed it over to Sage. "So... When are you going to the castle?" She asked.

Sage took the bottle from Aria and then hummed in thought. "Probably tonight sometime...once it starts getting darker," he mused. "So a bit before dusk, so I have time to get there and stay by dark. And then time later for you," he hummed happily.

Aria nodded and looked at Sage with a nervous smile. He was so handsome, she didn't want anything to happen to him that would ruin it. The girl just looked down and sat in the nearest chair with a huff.

Sage rolled his eyes, a fond smile crossing his face. "Seriously, I'll be fine....I've been doing this for over a year. And now I have something else to fight for. Something that more precious than even the kingdom," he told her. He meant her and the kids obviously, and she'd understand that. "I'll come back. And I'll be perfectly fine."

Aria nodded. "Alright." She said, smiling at his comments. She got up and hugged Sage tightly, not wanting to let go. Anything could happen, anywhere at any time. She hoped it just wouldn't include Sage.

Sage hugged her pack tightly before pressing a kiss to her head and going to pick up Henry again so he could hold him while he slept. Eventually, though, it was time to go, so he packed up and slid out once the kids were asleep. He got what he needed to do done rather quickly, and stopped at the river to wash his hands and knives off before going back to the house.

Aria stayed up on the couch until Sage got back. The girl happily got up, when Sage came back to the house. "How'd it go?" She asked curiously. She was glad nothing bad had happened to him.

Sage fetted her happily and then smiled. "one step closer to saving the kingdom," he chirped. Then he gave her a grin. "And now I'm home and one step away from the bed," he giggled lightly, putting his hands on her hips and grinning at her.
