Sage sort of just relaxed against her, more than happy to sit there for a bit. Though, at her comment, he moved to sort of scoot down and lounge back on her with a sort of happy hum. "Why," he mused curiously, sort of tilting his head back to peer over at her lazily. He didn't really care what she did .....but he wasn't sure what she was planning on doing, so he was admittedly a bit curious.

Mari smiled lightly to him before patting his cheek lightly. "I want to get all the sand out your hair," she giggled lightly to him. "Before it gets all over me," she added softly before kind of going to run her hands though his hair, again just trying to get the sand out his hair. She never really realised how long it actually was, which sort of amused her a little. She moved to peck a light kiss to his nose after a moment before shaking her head.

Sage sort of chuckled slightly in response to her comment, shifting slightly and settling in against her happily. "what, you mean wet sand everywhere isn't all you've ever wanted from me," he asked with a chuckle, really just joking around. He shut up after that though, more than happy to just let her run her hands through his hair and gently work out the tangled mess it had become. It was probably a good thing she was doing that too, since his version of detangling his hair was just yanking a brush through it. He sort of chuckled in response to her peck, but other than that was happy to just stay quiet and close his eyes, letting her do as she pleased. It felt nice.

Mari sort of pouted at him an shook her head. "Uhm... no, not really, surprisingly. I actually quite like it when you're all clean," she mused before going to press a light peck his lips again. "I happen to think you're quite handsome when you're not all gross," she snorted teasingly after a moment, then went top pat his chest when she was sure that he was all cleaned up. "There. You're beautiful again!" She teased softly to him.

Sage chuckled lightly in response to her comment, haunnibg happily when she pecked him again. Then he gave her a grin. "Well you can't think I'm ugly all the time," he mused. "I have to look good considering how much you enjoy yourself in bed," he teased her happily. They could joke about that without the kids here. He grinned up at her again when she spoke up about him being clean, chuckling slightly. "It feels better," he admitted with slight amusement.

Mari grinned at his little peck, her hand still sort of running through his hair. It was a nice feeling to do it, to be honest. Just to do something so tiny for him felt good to her. "Babe I never said you were ugly!" She chuckled to him, though her nose wrinkled mockingly at his next comment. "That has nothing to do with you you look!" She chuckled play before shaking her head again. She smiled in response to his comment before sort of moving to lean back a little. "Well you look tons better so I'm glad," she chuckled lightly to him.

Sage sort of chuckled in response to her comment, giving her a grin. "I know, but that's the opposite of good looking isn't it," he mused. Then he grinned over at her, a mischievous light sparking in his eyes. "It's most definitely pert of it," he argued. "I believe last time the wording was 'youve gotten all muscly and hot' " he teased. He didn't much care if she said stuff like that....general compliments were nice, no matter the topic. But he could definitely tease. He chuckled slightly in response to her last comment and nodded. "It's gotten longer than I thought," he mused. He normally kept it up in a bun of some kind...so having it down now was sort of a shocker. He didn't mind though, of course.

Mari cocked her head at him before giving a small pout. "Yeah, well, you're the the opposite of ugly, then," she huffed to him in a very matter-of-fact way. Mari gave a sort of thoughtful look then shaking her head at him. "I did not," she snipped, though of course she definately did say it. All of it. She smiled to him after a moment and went to press a light kiss to his lips, and moved to run her hand gently down his chest as he layed there, a small sort of chuckle escaping her. "But I certainly wasn't wrong," she hummed to him lightly. She then looked up at him and ran a hand through his hair thoughtfully. "I kinda like it," she hummed gently.

Sage sort of snorted lightly in repsonse to her first comment, snickering when she denied her previous comment and nodding. "You did too," he protested with a laugh. Though, her kiss muffled his Snickers, so those died away after a moment and a happy hum took their place. "Well, I can't say I don't like being healthy," he mused lightly. Well, it would be as healthy as he could get. If he got sick he knew it would be worse than normal, because of his past, so he was careful to stay as healthy as possible. Though, her next comment brought a slight blush to his face and he grinned up at her cheekily. "Good because I try very hard for you," he joked lightly. It was true though, he did try hard. Just not because he wanted to look good for Mari. Did he want her to think he looked good? Absolutely. But it really wasn't his main concern.

Mari pouted at him before shaking her head. "Did not!" she teased, a kind of grin crossing her face. She face softened a little bit before pecking his lips again gently. "I like it when you're not trying to get yourself killed too," she teased softly yo him, her fingers gently running through his hair. She pouted at him after a moment, looking thoughtful again before letting out a soft sigh. "I know you do. You try so hard in everything you do, I can't complain, I suppose," she joked lightly before sort of resting back against the tub to get comfortable.
