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)

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

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.

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.

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.
