Celeste Harlow - Celeste chuckled at his asnwer. "Yeah, thats true." She responded, smiling widely. Though it was a joke, Celeste did need a good chop. It was getting a little long and a lot to wash and handle. Celeste chuckled again at Sages comment. "Actually she slept fine once I gave her my hair to play with and got her to calm down. I guess she just wanted someone to hold while she slept." Celeste said, smiling over at Liz. Celeste always thought about what she says, but after she says it. Thinking about her statement now, it comforted her to be able to be that someone for the little baby. No one had ever held her while she slept. She had always had to protect herself, and be strong for herself. Celeste didn't know what that would be like, but she assumed it would be very nice to be comforted like that. Though she didn't have anyone to hold her, at least Celeste could make the little baby feel comforted while she slept.

Sage sort of chuckled and then nodded when she mentioned she slept alright once she was held by someone. "Yeah, that happens for a while, though once she wakes up and is hungry or gets bored then you're in trouble," he noted with a sort of fond amusement. "You're a spoiled little thing, you know that," he cooed towards the baby, who reached out towards his face. Of course, she wasn't old enough yet to have the best motor control, so she really only managed to slap him in the face a few times, but whatever. He didn't mind...and it wasn't like the baby could hurt him at all. (It's short but I have a TON of homework to get done tonight lol)

( Its alright, I get it :) ) Celeste Harlow - Celeste chuckled again at his comment. "Okay, yeah, I can see that being a bit of a hassle." she said chuckling. Celeste just laid there for a bit, watching Sage and his daughter, smiling at the pair. Celeste felt sweaty and sticky from last nights activities, and she needed a shower. Her hair also needed a good wash. That would take a while. After a bit more of watching Liz and her dad, she sat up and stretched up, still stiff from the activities and sleeping. She was still undressed, so she could just hop right in the shower. She stood up and walked over to her bag, picking out her outfit for the day. "I'm gonna go take a shower." she informed Sage and then disappeared into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her.

Sage sort of chuckled again with a nod, listening to her but also focusing on making sure the baby didn't fall off his chest. That was a concern, as she liked to move around quite a bit but was still...well...floppy. He glanced over at the older girl when she got up, and nodded. "I'll slide in once you're done, if you'll watch Liz," he noted before looking back at the baby and sitting up, jiggling her a little bit to keep her entertained while they waited. When Celeste eventually got out of the shower, he handed Liz off once she wandered back over. He moved to gather his clothes up from where they'd been tossed around the floor and then slipped into the bathroom to wash up. Admittedly, he didn't get a decent shower often ....and it never had warm water, so it was nice. The water was really only lukewarm, but it was better than the lake he normally used. So he wasn't too upset about it all. Edited at September 3, 2024 10:10 PM by NightClan

Celeste Harlow - Celeste washed her hair and body, washing her hair was a full blown workout. After she got out she wrapped herself up in a towel, and wrapped her hair up in a towel on top of her head. She changed into her clothes, a pair of black jean shorts and a black cropped tube top. After this she let her damp hair out of the towel and let it air dry the over her shoulders and down her back. Celeste finished the rest of her morning routine, and then exited the bathroom, taking the baby from Sage and let him take his shower.

Sage didn't linger in the shower too long....yes it was nice to be in an actual shower, but his baby was also out there. He trusted Celeste and all, which wa sodd considering she was supposed to be killing them. She would have killed him last ngiht if she'd wanted to kill him though, after he'd given her what she wanted from him. Whatever. He stayed in the shower long enough to clean himself up, and work at combing his hair, which he just kept knotted in a bun most of the time and was rather difficult to get loose again. But soon enough it was good enough, and he got dressed quickly, moving out of the bathroom to take his daughter back, resulting in a happy coo from the baby as he greeted her happily.

Celeste Harlow - Celeste gave back Sage his baby, and smiled at the two. She walked over to her bedside table and picked up her pink phone. She didn't normally use her phone, as many people she knew didn't have one, and she wasn't one to rub it in. Thinking about her friend, Odessa she quickly sent Odessa a text before putting her phone away once again. Odessa was Celeste best friend, and one of her few friends as well. She hadn't met up with her in a long time, maybe it was time for a little get together. Celeste turned back to Sage and smiled softly at him and his baby. She noticed his wet, tangled hair pulled back in a bun, and knew it was just gonna get worse if he didn't brush it out. "Do you ever brush out that tangled mess?" she asked, teasing him playfully.

Sage just entertained his daughter for a moment or so, pacing around and jiggling her slightly. Though, at the girls comment, he sort of chuckled and shrugged. "Sometimes I try, and most times it just gets tangled again right away so I don't really mess with it, no," he noted finding it rather amusing if he was being completely honest with himself. It wasn't so bad....he'd gotten used to it being tangled by now, as he'd been a street kid for a long, long while. His whole life really. When he wasn't in the streets he was fighting in a war, so he figured either way his hair wasn't something to really worry about. "it's not really one of my main concerns," he added with a soft chuckle. "It's rare I even get a dunk in the creek out behind the tavern, let alone a bath anyway," he added, jerking his head in the direction of the bathroom. "I've already pampered myself more than enough for one day," he half joked.

Celeste Harlow - Celeste was a bit surprised by Sages answer, but not entirely shocked. She knew he and his family weren't the wealthiest family in town. "How do you manage to smell decent?" she asked curiously, but also teasing him at the same time. "Well, lucky for both of you, your stuck with me, so there is never enough pampering. The next time you go swimming in that creek is going to be for fun. As long as you don't die first." she joked a bit. Celeste then crawled across the bed, and grabbed her hair brush. There were a few pink strands of her own hair stuck in the brush, but for the most part, Celeste kept it clean, like everything else she owned. "Come here, let me brush it out. Your gonna get dread locks if you leave it like that." she said to him, now sitting on the edge of the bed, facing him, and waiting for him to sit down in front of her, so she could brush his hair out. "I'll be gentle, I promise." she added with a smile. Edited at September 10, 2024 10:15 PM by Burning Rose Equine

Sage chuckled softly and shrugged. "No idea," he noted lightly in response to her comment. "Though I'll take that as a compliment," he added with a chuckle, though he rolled his eyes when she said he'd be pampered as long as he was with her. "how long is that going to be anyway? What's your plan for all this," he asked with a cock of his head. He didn't really mind....she was treatng them well, and she certainly didn't have to. She was choosing to keep them around for whatever reason too, so he'd take any chance he got to give Liz a decent life. When she called him over, he rolled his eyes but moved to settle Liz down in the chair before plopping down on the bed, shifting so the girl was behind him and could do as she pleased. "Then I'd have even less work to do to keep it clean," he noted with a slight laugh, then threw her an amused look over his shoulder. "I think I can deal with a few tugs anyway," he mused, really just joking around. He was quiet for a bit before huffing out a small breath. "Whats it like, being able to smell blood all day long," he asked curiously. "How does it work? I mean...if you get hungry and there's people everywhere how do you never get caught?" She didn't have to answer but ....he was curious.
