Sage sort of snorted out a chuckle at ehr comments, shrugging slightly. "Well, maybe that's becasue I don't want anyone else," he mused lightly. He curled up into her again, pouting up at her in response to her comment about him missing her. "You bet I would," he huffed, though still playing around. He couldn't help the squeak he let out when she poked his side....it had tickled a bit, and he sort of ducked firther under the covers, though still stayed cuddled up. "at least I can sweep you off your feet," he chirped, more than pleased to get the joke in there. Maybe it was a bit cheesy, but hey, he found it funny.

The girl rolled her eyes at him but chuckled all the same. "Suppose I'm lucky to have you then, hm?" She asked him with a smile. She was lucky to have him... out of anyone, she was more than thankful that her managed to spend her life with someone she cared about so much rather than some random person. He was kind and thoughtful, and she just felt special when she was around him. She wanted to make him feel that way the best she could, too. She grinned and hurried herself under the covers before wrapping her leg gently around his side. "You can definitely to that," she mused happily.

Sage hummed lightly and nodded in response to her comment. "you're very lucky to have me," he chirped. "I treat you very well," he huffed, giving her a grin. Maybe it was a bit cocky, but she treated him very well too, so it was more just jokibga round than anything. She certainly did more to help him than he did for her, it seemed like, no matter how much he'd tried. He laughed again when she wrapped her legs around his sides, and grinned in response to her comment. "So you finally admit it then," he teased, pecking her on the lips lightly.

She nodded and gave him a happy little grin. "You do, you treat me just like a princess," she chuckled gently to the boy before pressing a solid kiss to his lips. He did treat her like a princess, too... he gave her everything he could and more, and she couldn't be more grateful for him. He really did so much for her. She then gave him a happy little hum. "I don't have to admit it, you already know it's true. It doesn't take much for me to be enamoured, though," she told him with a small snicker.

Sage chuckled lightly at her comment and nodded. "You're my queen," he chirped lightly. "not a princess!" That was also rather cheesy he supposed, but it was all his brain could manage to come up with. He blamed the fever. Though, his flirting was normally this sort of cheesy thing. That or rather crude....though Mari seemed to like it either way, and he definitely did not want to be crude....if he actually tried anything he'd be too worried he'd hurt her. He gave her a grin and nod in response to her next comment though, chuckling slightly. "Well that's obvious if you're enamored with me of all people," he mused, more teasing her than anything, though it did hold it's truth he supposed.

The girl gave him a small chuckle after a moment and went to wrap her arms a little bit tighter around his sides. "Fine, not a princess," she chuckled to him, her grin spreading across her face happily. Sure, this was a bit cheesy, but she was enjoying this all the same. "Does that make you my king, then?" She asked him with a happy little smile. She did like all of this, though... it was sort of sweet. She then sorta shook her head. "It'd be so easy for me to be so deeply in love with anyone who looks at me a certain way, and yet for some reason I haven't. And somehow, I'm still in love with you," she grinned and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek then pressed another one to different parts of his face every time she spoke. "I'm very... very in love with you," she grinned happily to him.

Sage chuckled lightly and then hummed as if in thought. "mmmm, I'm not so sure about that," he mused. "Seems like a lot of work," he chuckled. "Maybe a cohort. You seem to enjoy that part of it all, hm," he teased lightly. "Though a jester would work too," he admitted with a slight laugh. He felt his grin widen as she pressed her kisses all over his face though, cuddling in happily. "Good, because if you weren't I'd be looking pretty stupid right about now," he noted with amusement, eyes glittering happily.

Mari rolled her eyes at him before giving a heavy huff. "So you get the fun stuff and I have to be a queen? That doesn't seem fair," she complained to the boy before giving a small chuckle. His little hum, her cheeks flushing a light pink. "You enjoy it all too. I'm more than content just to sit here and enjoy all this loving," she mused lightly to the boy. She then chuckled lightly to him. "Your looking pretty silly right now, too... sat in bed complaining about me of all people," she huffed to him, gently placing a hand on bee

forehead dramatically.

Sage chuckled lightly and hummed lightly in response to her comment. "What, bossing me around isn't fun," he gasped, still just having fun teasing her and joking around. "I can't deny that," he admitted in amusement I'm response to her later comment though, and gave her a goofy grin when she said he was looking silly. "Oh please," he snorted. "If I don't tease you then I don't like you," he mused. It was true though....he really only joked around with people he knew well and was comfortable with. And for him to start teasing you....well, he had to be close with the person.

The girl wrinkled her nose as though in thought before shaking her head. "I like bossing everyone about. I just really like it when I get

to do it to you," she purred happily as she went to peck his cheek once again. She then gave him a toothy grin, and gave him a rather large smile. "Aww, well you'd better like me. It's not like we're married or anything, so I don't suppose that it particularly matters if you like teasing me or not," she she hummed in a more jokey tone before going in to press a slightly longer kiss to his lips, then pulling away with a small chuckle.
