Sage smiled over at the boy as he woke up, kind of gently rocking the boy until he was awake enough to wriggle around. He chuckled as the boy tried to escape his grasp and pecked Anya on the cheek gently before sliding to his feet. "He was enough energy to go run around in the garden for sure," he chuckled. "Maybe you should sleep less," he cooed into the boy, nuzzling him in the stomach, resulting in another squeal of laughter and kicking legs from the boy. Sage chuckled and jerked his head toward the door. "Let's go, before he decided to fly over there on his own before we' re too slow," he joked.

Anya it hummed softly before crawling out of bed and wandering towards the door. "I'll go find Luther," she murmured as she followed him down the halls. "Go and set up and make sure Att stays warm... he doesn't need to get ill right now," she murmured softly before pecking the boy on the cheek before trotting off down the halls to find the other boy, who was most likely either still asleep or wandering around the halls somewhere.

Sage nodded and busted about, wrapping Att up in some warm clothes and whatnot to make sure he wouldn' t catch a cold or anything. The boy would be moving, and they probably wouldn't be out very long, but it was still best if he was nice and warm. Soon enough though he went to scout out the other two teens, as Att was about ready to run off without them.

Anya eventually found Luther wandering around the castle before trotting over to him and taking a hold of his wrist, "come on," she chirped lightly before dragging him towards the nursery, "we're gonna go and get some toys for Att and then we're going out to the garden," the girl told him with a wide smile. The boy groaned, but followed her along willingly. Once they got to the nursery, she shoved a couple of wooden toys into his arms before marching off to find Sage at Att again.

Sage eventually ran off, jogging around until he saw Anya and Luther. He ran up to them and held up Atticus, who was by now fully awake and full of happy energy. "Let's go before he figures out how to walk and runs off somewhere," he joked as the boy kicked his legs around and screamed with laughter, even though nothing was really happening. He was even trying to climb around on Sage as he stood there, seemingly more than bored with the teens talking. Sage himself was slightly out of breath, but had a dumb grin on his face as he wrangled the younger boy off his face and head and pounced him on his hip to entertain him.

Anya grinned at Sage when he ran up to them and shoved the child at them. Luther hadn't actually met the boy, she didn't think, so it'd be nice to have them a bit aquatinted. Though, the child didn't stand to wait around, so they could wait a little longer to chat about the child, just until they'd gotten outside. The three walked somewhat briskly towards a nice sheltered spot in the garden, out of the way from too much wind and any rain if it was going to fall. Anya sat Luther down and had him drop all the toys in the pile before looking to Sage with a grin. "We picked up some toys for him to play with... you know to help tire him out a bit," she hummed in a type of exited tone.

Sage was more than happy to walk along with the other two teens, though Atticus seemed to have other ideas. Sage had to occasionally twirl around or toss the boy and catch him, and do some other random things in order to keep the boy entertained. When they got to their little spot, he nodded a grateful thanks to the other two getting toys for Att, and set the lad down near the pile. Att sat down to play with some, going through each one and immediately shoving it in his chubby little mouth. He soon got bored of eating plastic though, so after a bit the boy crawled around, looking at the grass and the sky and the tress and everything else he could see and get his hands on. Sage had to stop him from eating quite a few...unedible things. But he could keep an eye on the boy at let him play...a little dirt never hurt anyone, but he couldn't let him eat anything large or something he could choke on or...anything really. He let out a tired sigh and lay down on his back in the patch of sun, watching the boy and occasionally giving a word of warning or grabbing something the boy couldn't eat from his hands.

Anya sat quietly for a while, rather amused by the sight of Sage trying (and failing) to keep little Atticus from eating everything he got his little hands on. She supposed it wasn't exactly funny, he could get his hands on something that was bad for him, but she supposed she just wasn't as worried about it as Sage was. Not quite in mommy mode the way he was. Didn't quite have the need to protect that Sage did. But, that was alright because it meant she wasn't quite so stressed out about the child. Luther seemed alright too... he'd actually picked up a little wooden horse with wheels and a straight and started dragging it around in front of the child, like he was trying to coax him to play. So, maybe he wasn't the best with little kids, but he was trying, and that was nice to see. "He's not a dog you know. He's not likely to chase you for the toy," Anya snickered before shaking her head. Luther looked at her and gave a bit of a pout before sighing. "Does he not play or anything?" The boy asked in an almost disheartened voice. Anya could only giggle at this before rolling her eyes, "like I said, he's not a dog. Right now, everything is interesting but you so leave him be!" The girl hummed lightly before flopping back on the ground to peer up at the sky.

Sage was a bit busy pulling things from the boys mouth or hands, though it was a nice kind of busy. He always felt more like himself when he had something to do. Something to protect. When he didn't, it just seemed like he had nothing to do...he didn't know what to do with himself. He did notice Luther trying to play with the boy, which was slightly amusing since Att barely glanced at the toy Luther was holding. He looked over at the boy and grinned. "He's playful through the night. I can let you two get to know eachother if you want," he joked, knowing full well Luther wasn't going to want the boy overnight, even if he did sleep. Though, as soon as he got the words out, he heard a crunch and looked over to see Att chewing on some sort of beetle happily. He sighed and reached over to the boy to grab the corpse before he choked on it and threw it in the grass to the side, wiping his hand on his shirt.

Luther shook his head at Sages offer and flopped down next to the others with a slight groan. "I'd rather not," he murmured when he watched the child crunch down on the beetle. Anya wrinkled her nose slightly before shaking her head. "Maybe we should give him something he can actually chew on... without like choking," she hummed lightly before looking to Sage with a smile, "he's probably gonna start teething soon, and I don't know about you but I'd rather he didn't take it out on helpless beetles," she hummed with with a bit of a chuckle. Well, partly for the beetles, and partly because she didn't want him to start chewing on them.
