Sage chuckled at Luther's comment and then looked over at Anya and made a face. "Oh, he's starting to do that already. He likes my finger but baby teeth are sharp," he chuckled. He shrugged. "I've been busy but I'm gonna grab a rubber something from the nursery made for that when I get a chance to." He scooped the boy up and let him play with some leaves, but kept him in his legs so he could talk and the boy could play without getting into something he shouldn't.

Anya hummed softly and gave a pit of a chuckle at Sages comment. "Little piranha," she chuckled gently before shifting so she was resting her head by Sages ankles, kind of acting as a bit of a barrier so the child couldn't crawl away. "That's a good idea. I mean, we could always just give Luther to him as a chew toy. That might save us from having chunks taken out of us," she teased before sticking her tongue out at the boy to make sure she knew she was only teasing. Luther wrinkled his nose at the girl before chuckling, "Why me?!" He squeaked with a bit of a giggle.

Sage chuckled and patted the boy crawling around in the space in-between his legs. Att looked up with a soft coo and then went back to playing around in the grass happily. He grinned over at Luther when Anya started teasing him, and chuckled. "Oh come on, you can stand to lose some chunks," he giggled, making reference to the other boys size. He wasn't fat, not at all. Just...bulky. But really, his arm was thicker around than Sages neck. The boy was large...and not in a bad way. Besides Sage was skinny, since he didn't eat very much. Both boys were healthy, and wrapped with muscle, Sage's was just more refined than bulky, with Luther being the big and bulky one.

Luther looked at Sage wide eyed for a moment before pursing his lips in a jokey way. "What on earth is that supposed to mean?" He squeaked with narrow eyes. Anya giggled slightly before poking his shoulder playfully. "He means you take up a lot of space," she hummed softly before leaning in and pressing a friendly kiss to the boys cheek before flopping back down on Sages legs. "Maybe the baby could fix that for you," she hummed gently, her voice softening a little to let him know she was only teasing... she didn't want the boy to actually get offended. Teasing was fun, but there was a point where it could actually become a bit disheartening... and she didn't want him to feel that way. Plus, Luther wasn't exactly big in a bad way. He was just muscular, the same as Sage was, though Luther was built more for strength than anyone else.

Sage chuckled and looked down at Att. "Whaddya think, Att? Do you think Luther could manage to keep up with you? Hmm?" Att, not really understanding a single word other than maybe his name but recognizing Sages voice looked up at him with a wide eyes grin. He sat down and clapped his hands together with that baby laugh you don't get anywhere else. After a moment of that, he crawled back to Sage to climb on his lap and try to explore this big person who was currently his father of a sort. Sage was more than happy to call himself the boys father, though he knew he'd have to send the boy off. He hoped he'd fit in, and wouldn't be confused or be upset he'd left...but that was a worry he didn't want to think of now. Right now they were having fun. He let the boy play around on him for a while before he tly nudging him in Luthers direction. "Go play with Uncle Luther," he told the boy fondly. "I'm tired." Att cooed again and crawled right into Luther's lap, looking up at the larger boy in wide eyed, baby like wonder.

Luther looked at the boy just as wide eyes as he was looking at him when he was dumped in his lap. He cocked his head slightly, the baby kind of copying his movements. Soon enough, though, the child started giggling at the boy, and Luther just looked a little more confused, though that turned to complete and utter terror when the baby started to grab ahold of his cheeks and then his hair, tugging on it with delighted squealing and giggles. Anya hummed a laugh out at the sight before cocking her head towards Sage. "Uncle Luther," she mused, cocking her head back slightly to look up at the sky. "What does that make me? Auntie Anya?" She murmured softly in thought before giving a grin, "I quite like that," she mused lightly.

Sage watched the boys move around in sync for a bit, chuckling slightly at Luther's...almost fear of the younger boy. He glanced over at Anya and grinned with a shrug. "Sure," he chuckled. Really, she could call herself whatever she wanted, but he liked thinking of Att as being their kid ....of them being a little family. He knew he was just fooling himself, and it would never happen, but it was still nice to think about. Though, he couldn't say that with Luther here.

Anya gave a light smile before turning her head back to Luther, who seemed to be battling it out with with Att now. The baby was tugging the boys hair and seemed to be trying to mouth it too, and Luther just looked completely and utterly lost as for what to do about it all. He was trying to get the child off of him without somehow hurting him, she guessed. Well, that was the only reasonable explanation for the child still pulling on his hair. She supposed they could have stepped in to tear the baby away for Luther, but the boy would have to figure it out sooner or later... and this was definitely rather amusing to the girl.

Sage watched the little boy play around with the bigger boy for a while, rather amused at Luther's...loss of what to do. He'd have to deal with children of his own at some point, though he seemed a bit awkward with children. Then again, Sage had always been good with them - he'd been raising Lizzie from the time he was seven or eight years old. He was a bit more...familar...with the whole process than Luther was. So, after a few minutes of watching the two of them, he decided he'd better get Att off of the boy before he ate all his hair. So, he just kind of reached over to scoop the boy up, and Att turned towards him to grab a hold of his arm with a willing garggle of words that none of them could really understand. Sage made noises back at the boy though, which made Att scream with laughter and reach up to grab at Sage's cheeks playfully.

Anya chuckled softly at the rather chaotic sight, and the way Luther just accepted that the baby had taken him by the time Sage had decided to step in. Still, once the child was taken away from him he stayed flat on the ground and eyed the child jokingly. "He's a monster," he hissed lightly before letting out a small chuckle. "No, he's not," Anya hummed lightly before patting the child on the back softly as he grabbed Sage's cheeks. "Look at him! Evil reincarnated," Luther laughed out before giving a small head shake. Really, he was just awful with children... he didn't have a single clue about what to do with them.
