Sage chuckled lightly and hummed, admittedly blushing a bit at her comment. He gave her a fake pout though, and huffed out a breath. Though, he couldn't keep up a serious face and eventually just started giggling. He grunted in agreement when she pulled him in and instructed him to sleep, passing pretty much as soon as he closed his eyes. He'd apparently been sleepier than he'd realized. He felt her leave eventually, and sort of curled up in the spot she'd been in, since it was warm and her scent lingered there. He woke up maybe an hour and a half later, but he was still sleepy so he moved to draw the blanket over him and curled up again. It took a lot of groaning and grunting, but he managed eventually.

Mari padded into the kitchen, kind of passing the chef without another thought, and started making up a bunch of these crepes for Sage and of course the kids. They'd enjoy it... it wasn't healthy, but it was a treat after the scary few days they'd had. Lizzie couldn't have any, but she could try some of the chocolate paste.

she made them all up and woke Silas, slipping some of the food to him before waddling back to Sages bed to give him some... she had to wake him up first, though. He seemed pretty tired. She gently patted his shoulder and gave a small smile. "Sage hunny, wake up before these are cold," she chuckled happily to him.

Sage was sort of resting in that half asleep stage when he heard Mari come into his room. He'd heard the door open and close, and he dimly noted that she was there ..but it didn't really register enough to move him. He stirred slightly when she came over to the bed and patted him, mumbling out an unintelligible bit of words before reaching over to snatch a crepe off the plate and then retreating to back under the blanket where it was warm. It was a bit silly ... probably a bit funny looking to Mari ...but hey, he was tired and warm under the blankets, but he also wanted the dessert. The solution? Just bring the desert into the blankets with him, obviously. And Mari could come in and cuddle up if she wanted too.

Mari watched her husband appear then disappear with his food, a small chuckle escaping her. "If you're cold we can have the heating up," she mused as she gently moved the covers from him so that she moved to curl under the blankets. She picked up some of the crepes from the plate. "You can't be a mouse forever," she chuckled lightly to him. She knew he was comfortable here... and she didn't want him to move about too much. "You better enjoy those, they took forever," she chuckled lightly to the boy. "I gave Liz come chocolate. You should have seen her little face," she hummed happily.

Sage sort of just grunted in response to her comment, letting out a whine when she pulled the blanket off of him but curled up happily against her once she was there, reaching automatically for another dessert. "Turning the heat up a bit might be nice....the meds make me cold," he admitted with a yawn. Then he pouted at her comment. "Says who," he huffed. He felt a smile cross his face when she mentioned Lizzie though. "They're delicious and she knows it," he hummed. "Thanks babe."

Mari smiled and gave a bit of a chuckle at his comments before shrugging. "I dunno Sage. Maybe me," she mused before slipping back out of bed and insuring the heating went up a little... well, if he was cold, they might as well put it up while he was in the castle. That way they could ensure that they weren't wasting any money at the house. She climbed back into bed and gave a soft huff of air. "I think she's going to have a sweet tooth," she hummed lightly to him and gave a happy smile. "Bit like me I suppose," she chuckled lightly. She pecked his nose and nodded gently. "You're welcome," she murmured lightly.

He chuckled at her comment and grinned up at her. "Well, you just became a mouse with me," he noted with amusement. Though, he whined slightly when she left and then crawled back in a moment later. "you're letting cold air in," he squeaked, wriggling slightly with a bit of a laugh, then settling up against her again. He hummed in agreement to her next comment and then shrugged. "Well, chocolate is yummy. Who wouldn't like it," he pointed out, giving her a happy grin when she pecked his nose, going to snatch another sweet.

Mari rolled her eyes at him a little before chuckling. "You made me become a mouse if I wanted some," she huffed, rolling her eyes ever so slightly at him as she grabbed another one. She hummed in thought at his next comment before shrugging. "Who needs it to be warm when you have a wonderful wife that just wants to cuddle," she huffed to him, kind of crossing her arms playfully. She shrugged at him after a moment or two. "I dunno. I never liked chocolate when I was little," she shrugged lightly.

Sage chuckled lightly. "Well you came pretty willingly," he noted with amusement in response to her first comment. Then he wrinkled his nose slightly at her other comment. "Well it's not warm if you're crossing your arms and not actually cuddling," he whined. He raised an eyebrow at her comment about not liking chocolate. "No?" He shook his head, clucking his tongue teasingly. "You really are crazy," he teased her lightly. "I never had chocolate until Anya bought some for Lizzie," he commented. "My sister Lizzie," he clarified, though it wasn't necessarily needed.

Mari smiled lightly to him before huffing out a breath. "I wanted my crepes," she mused lightly. She settled down next to him after a moment or two, and kind of opened her arms for him. "Come on then, cuddle with me!" She huffed with a playful looking glare. It was amusing... or, she thought so. It made her happy that he was at least comfortable to cuddle in. She shrugged at his next comment. "I like it now, of course! Just didn't like the texture of it... it was sort of sickly for me then," she chuckled lightly to him. "Yeah, and I bet the both of you loved it," she smiled happily, an amused tone in her voice at his last comment.
