Sage sort of just chuckled lightly, still running his fingers through her hair gently. He felt a soft smile cross his face when she sort of drifted off, more than happy to just rest for a while. After a bit though, when he felt himself start to nod off, he shifted to stand up slowly, carrying her over to the bed and tucking her in gently. He moved to clean up the dinner before crawling in himself and wrapping his arms around Mari and letting himself drift off happily.

The woman let a small groan escape her when she finally settled down on the bed, and moved to curl up under the coveres absentmindedly. She woke up later the next morning, with Sages arms wrapped around her loosely. She smiled gently before sort of running her hand down his arm until she wrapper her fingers around his hand resting on her stomach. She really did love it here. It was just so peaceful.

Sage chuckled slightly at Maris little noise, but went about cleaning up and getting back to bed quickly. Once he'd laid down, he was out pretty quickly. He stayed that way most of the night, and wasn't quite up yet by the time Mari had woken up, but he did shift into her a bit more subconsciously when she took his hand gently. It was all just very nice.

The woman gave a happy noise when he tucked in, but settled down again after a moment, drifting in and out of sleep. It wasn't early at all... but this was warm, and comfortable, and it wasn't like we had anything more to do for now. She didn't have to get up, so she wasn't going to... not until later, at least.

Sage slept for maybe another hour or so, before he slowly started to wake up. He sort of let out a huff of air, tightening his grip on Mari slightly and wrapping his fingers around her loosely, since she'd grabbed his hand earlier. She was still resting, but he pressed a sort of sleepy kiss to her head as a sort of good morning. If she was awake enough, she'd respond, and if she wasn't, he wouldn't be bothering her.

The girl gave a soft, absentminded hum when she felt his little kiss before moving to tilt her head back into the crook of his neck. She was still waking up, but the little movements to cuddle in was nice. She gently squeezed his hand after a moment before moving to press her back into him a bit firmer, just taking in his warmth before he got up.

Sage felt a smile cross his face at her hum, resting his chin on top of hers lightly when she moved to curl in a bit more. He didn't say anything....he figured the little movements said more than a grunt at that point. Besides, he wanted to keep the quiet. It was still morning, and the peace and quiet was nice, especially while they were still waking up.

The woman gave a small him after a moment, and sort of turned over to bury her face into his chest. "Morning," she whispered softly, the words really only barely coming out. She was definitely happy to be there with him... it was comfortable, and ever so warm, and she didn't want to get up... still, they only had a few days left here and she didn't want to waste that.

Sage sort of hummed in response to her comment, releasing her slightly for a moment while she wriggled around to change positions, then flopping his arms back over and around her tightly when she curled back up. He was still half asleep though, so the hum was as much as he could manage at the moment. It was just nice that they could stand to do that sort of thing and not have to get up soon. He loved the kids, but sleeping in had become quite rare, even with Mari normally letting him sleep for a while past her. So this was just nice.

Mari sighed softly when he wrapped his arms around her. She let a small smile cross her face after a moment and moved to press a soft kiss to his chin. "You hungry?" She asked softly after a moment. She was still tired... but, she supposed she wanted to do something nice for him. She didn't wait for a reply before pressing another kiss to his lips. "Stay here," she whispered softly to him before moving to groggily crawl out of bed and pad into the kitchen.
