Sage chuckled lightly and wrinkled his nose in response to her suggestion. "I think I'll pass on that one," he mused. "There's no kids or parents that would show up either way," he pointed out with a shrug. He grunted and nodded then, glancing over at Lizzie when she started to wake up. "Yeah," he hummed before chuckling and giving her a wide grin. "Yes, ma'am," he chirped, making a fake salute before crawling over to scoop Liz up when she started to coo and wriggle around. "Hey kiddo," he hummed, bringing her over to where T and he were before and sitting down again. "Hungry," he asked, taking the carrot mush and feeding it to the girl a little bit at a time. "I was going to do medical research out of college, but..." He sort of shrugged, trailing off. It was obvious why that hadn't come about. Though he chuckled lightly at her other comment and sort of moved to put the bowl of carrot mush under her nose. "I dunno, does it smell good," he asked, a mischievous glint in his eyes, knowing full well it didn't smell nice.

"Hey, you never know. Maybe theres a really big demand for parenting lessons among zombies." T said sarcastically, watching Liz as she started to stir. She gave him a light smile at his mocking responses to her question, her eyes following him as he got Liz. Lucifer decided it was time for him to be awake as well, sitting up as Sage lifted Liz. He wiggled his way over to sit between Sage and T, rolling onto his back so T could absentmindedly scratch his belly. "Medical research sounds interesting. I always wanted to be a vet." She nodded softly, surprised as he stuck the bowl under her nose. She tossed her head back and scrunched up her nose, glaring at him playfully. "Absolutely delicious." She said sarcastically, dipping her finger into the bowl and grabbing a tiny bit before she leaned forward to swipe it off on his nose. She licked her finger after, offering him a playful grin. "Smells good, right?"

Sage had nodded lightly at her comments, though her tease about zombie parenting lessons earned an amused snort. "I think they'd be more interested in eating me than listening to me tell them how to take care of their undead children," he chuckled. He smiled and reached over to pat the dog when he plopped down between them, nodding with shrug. "I always wanted to help people....try and fix what I could I guess," he mused. He let out a sort of surprised squeak when she put the carrot mush on his nose, but couldn't help but laugh afterwards. At least, until Lizzie had reached up and tried to imitate the movement, bonking him on the nose and grabbing it with her chubby little fist. He moved to half wrestle with her hand, and shot T a playful glare once he'd gotten his nose back from her, wiping the carrot remains off his skin. "Thanks," he grumbled, though he of course didn't mind much. "maybe if my nose wasn't broken I could smell it better," he snorted, still sarcastic. He was sarcastic about a lot of things though, he supposed.

"Fair point." T grinned, continuing to rub Lucifer's stomach as he wiggled on the ground. She giggled slightly at his snort, as amused by the noise as he was about her tease. "Makes sense. I think you would be a great docter, personally." She offered. She laughed at the squeak she earned with her action, turning it to a slight giggle as Liz got involved. "Anytime." She quipped brightly, rolling her eyes at him. "Okay, Drama queen." She scoffed playfully, rolling her eyes.

Sage chuckled lightly and nodded. "Yeah, but getting through a residency without snapping at the people in charge of me would probably never happen," he admitted with a slight note of amusement to his voice. "Partly why I settled for a lab environment rather than actually talking to people," he mused. He huffed out a breath when she chirped back her response and moved to shift Liz so she could sit up in his lap and look around. He gave her a grin in response to her next comment and chuckled, shaking his head. "Just you wait. I can be full of drama, especially when I have a panic attack over the tiniest thing," he half joked.

"Really? I didn't take you for one to have trouble with authority. I guess it makes sense." T shrugged, gently running her hand up and down the top of her thigh. "I suppose that's reasonable. Less likely to get yourself fired somewhere you don't have superiors." She joked, pulling herself closer to him as he set Liz up in his lap. Her knees were just touching his, and she gently reached forward to take the little girl's hand. "Good morning, sunshine." She said brightly, her voice soft as she directed it at the small child. "Oh, boy. I just can't wait." She said sarcastically, offering him a grin.

Sage chuckled lightly and shrugged. "Well, that's because I get along with you," he mused. "You're first guess of calling me an asshole was pretty accurate," he noted with a sort of chuckled. "For most people anyway," he added with a shrug. He looked down at Liz when T reached for the baby, curious as to how she'd react. Her big brown eyes turned to T and he couldn't help but grin when she got a big, toothless grin on her face and let out an excited babble. "Yeah, that's gonna be our new friend," he told the baby in a sort of high pitched voice that you'd say to...well...a baby. Liz looked back up at him, falling back onto his chest when her head was too big for her to tilt it back all the way and stay there, a delighted look on her face. He pecked the top of her head and then chuckled at T's comment, humming as if thought. "I can," he half joked, though it was sort of an issue. He hated that it was...but he couldn't do anything about it.

"What, you wouldn't get along with with your bosses?" T chuckled, smiling at him as he brought the asshole card out again. "Well, I can be pretty observant when I first meet people. And I was kind of right." She teased, giving him a slightly mischievous look at the tease. T looked overjoyed at the smile the baby offered her, mirroring it- except her grin had teeth, obviously. "Yes, hello." She quipped softly, using the same tone she would with Lucifer- the classic baby voice. She looked up in surprise at his turn to the high pitched tone, letting out a half of a giggle at the sound. She watched Liz with a slightly adoring look on her face before he spoke. "Awe, you wanna be my friend? Why didn't you say so sooner?" She teased.

Sage groaned and shook his head in response to her tease about bosses. "I worked at a tavern once, as a waiter," he mused. "I lasted about two hours," he chuckled with a shake of his head. "I'm going to assume you can figure out why," he added with a note of amusement to his voice. "Hey, I never argued with you about that one," he noted with a grin before looking back down at Lizzie happily. "Yeah, she wants to be everybody's friend, don't you Liz," he cooed, earning a very high pitched squeal of laughter from the baby. He chuckled lightly and squeezed the little girl gently before releasing her enough for her to wriggle around in his lap a bit. "I hope in the future there's people for her to be firends with," he mused softly after a moment, glancing out at the deserted ruins of a town in the distance.

T snickered slightly at his comment on the tavern, giving him a smile. "I think I can. I'm guessing there were bigger assholes than you there?" She teased, listening to him coo to the baby happily. Once he released the little one, she gently reached forward and plucked her out of his lap. "It's my turn for baby Liz time." She teased, setting the child gently in her lap and smiling down at her. She nodded faintly at his words glancing up in thought. "I do too. But honestly, at this rate? I wouldn't hold out hope." She said softly, rocking back and forth just slightly with Liz, her hand settled gently against her back to support her.
