Sage just gave the girl a grin in response to her comment, eyes glittering. He was glad he'd found her.....the circumstances in which they'd met weren't stellar, sure, but he was glad if it all the same. He wasn't sure what he'd do it he had continued to live like he had been. Not that you could really call it living. Either way, he supposed he was just glad to have found someone so absolutely amazing. He wanted to share his life with the girl, he knew that. He nodded when she said she'd message the seller, giving her another quick grin as he moved to grab a bottle for Liz and feed the now whiny baby. He was excited about this....he really was. He didn't have much to move in....Celeste had bought some clothes and such but he'd probably have to find some other things. He'd need outfits and blankets he could keep wherever he'd be morphing in, since if he wore them while he morphed he'd ruin them, and once it was over he got cold. Very cold. That was the downside of sweat, he supposed. But he was glad to have Celeste there to help him, even if it was just knowing she was there for when it was all done. She didn't have to actually stay in the room with him...he didn't want to hurt her....but they'd figure that sort of stuff out in the next day or two, when it actually started happening.

Sage had moved to feed his daughter while Celeste took care of the house. He grinned widely over at her when she spoke up, wandering over to peck her head lightly as he peered over her shoulder at the picture of the house she had pulled up. "it looks perfect," he chirped, moving to set the now empty bottle on the table and shift to burp Liz, who was now full and content. "When do we move in then," he asked curiously, hoping they had somewhere to go before he morphed within the next night or two. He doubted it would be tonight.....he normally felt it coming and he didn't feel really terrible today, so he would be fine for now. But it was coming, and soon. He could admit he was a little nervous about it. But he also trusted Celeste...though, he did want to look around the house and find a place he knew he could morph in where it would keep everyone safe.

The house did look nice, he could admit that. He was just as excited as she was, and pressed a kiss to the side of her head happily as she showed him the pictures. "It looks perfect," he chirped, grinning over at her. He listened to her comments about moving in, biting his lower lip as he thought. "I don't know when I'll morph," he admitted. "could be tomorrow night, could be the night after," he stayed with a shrug, brows knitting slightly. "I just don't want to be rushing to get there tomorrow and have me start morphing before we're ready," he thought out loud, shaking his head slightly. "Maybe we should stay at a hotel near the house tonight, just so we have a bit of extra time," he suggested, setting Liz down now that she was buried and comfortable. At her next comment, he glanced over at her, nodding slowly after a moment, busying himself with settling Liz in. "I'll need clothes to keep there, and blankets," he noted after a moment. "If I morph in clothes they'll be torn apart so I normally just take them off beforehand, if I can. Gets cold," he added, moving to flop down on the bed with a sigh. It was good there was somewhere to keep him, and better that it wasn't part of the house. He wasn't sure how he'd gets back to the house after, but he wasn't going to bother her with that.

Sage nodded when she suggested they start getting ready to move closer to the house. "Yeah," he agreed quietly, moving to go start to gather their things. It was probably obvious he was worried about the morph....and he knew she knew that, so it did bring some comfort knowing he wouldn't be totally alone. "Always on full moons," he murmured. "But soemtimes they last for two nights, or sometimes they're earlier or later than i expect," he added with a shake of his head. "And the day or two before and for a bit after it...it messes with me," he admitted, zipping up the bag of his and Liz's things, looking over at his girlfriend, trying not to show how much morphing scared him. It never really got any easier. His gaze moved back to packing after a moment, as busying himself with work was a good way to push those thoughts from his mind. That was how life went....he worked, pushed his thoughts away, anddid his best not to let his mind get the upper hand. Though, if he was being honest he figured it sort of always did anyway. "Don't worry....I'll feel it coming. When it's the right night I'll know," he noted, muscles in his jaw jumping slightly as he grit his teeth together.

Sage had moved to grab the bags and pile them up together, though when Celeste moved to pop up in-between his arms, he gave her a somewhat surprised and mildly amused look, though once she started talking he sort of just stilled before setting the bags he was holding down and leaning into her hug after a moment, letting out a huff of air. "I know," he murmured. "I love you too," he added, doing his best to relax a little bit. He pulled back after a moment, giving the girl a small smile. "I just get nervous," he added with a shake of his head. "it's never a good time, and I don't want to wind up hurting you. It'll be my first time where I can actually get up and move, even if I'm in a shed," he pointed out. "and Liz will be alone if you're with me. And I don't want her to be a mile away, but I don't know if I'll hurt her either if she's with us." It was clearly all bothering him, but it was also probably clear he was trying hold himself together. In his opinion, he was failing rather miserably....his nerves were getting the better of him by then. He didn't like it.
