The woman plopped down happily after a moment before giving a bit of a grin when he came over. She sort of raised a brow after a moment before shaking her head. "It's very very rare for you to cook for me, even if I ask. Maybe I'll come home with a lovely domestic husband," she teased lightly as she tucked into her food... it really was good, too. She didn't take long to finish, it wasn't a big meal, but that wasn't bad at all. She sort of hummed and took his plate off him when he'd finished, going to put everything away before wandering back over and wrapping her arms around his shoulders happily.

Sage sort of chuckled in response to her comment, giving her a sort of crooked grin. "you normally chase me out of the kitchen," he noted with amusement. He gave her a sort of playful pout when she spoke up again and huffed out a slight breath. "Are you telling me I don't jump to please your every whim," he joked lightly. It was really only a joke because it was sort of true ...he did do his best to please her. Make her happy. Of course, there were some things, like getting clothes all the way in the hamper, that she half complained about....but that didn't change anything. He hummed lightly when she came back over after dinner, moving to tilt his head up to look up at her, giving her a grin and leaning in as best he could with a chair between them.

The girl sort of gave a small laugh before shaking her head. "You normally just make a mess," she mused, sort of pecking the top of his head. She sighed after a moment and moved to rest her head just lightly ontop of his. She pouted for a moment before sort of running her ands down his arm. "I dunno. Depends on the day..." she mused. Though, of course, she knew he did that. He worked so hard just to make everything she wanted happen. She sat back most of the time and just watched. She wanted to be able to do everything she could for him, though, too. "It would be even better if jumped to clear up though," she teased softly before kind of moving to entwine her fingers with his when he leaned back, and moved to sort of tug him towards the couch.

Sage chuckled lightly in response to her comment and gave her a somewhat sheepish grin. "That is true," he admitted. He helped sometimes, especially when she made dinner, but while cooking he did sort of leave stuff, well, everywhere. He hummed lightly in response to her other comment, really just enjoying the day so far. He grunted when she moved to sort of tug him towards the couch, moving to get up from the chair and paddling along after her willingly. Whether it was a back rub or just cuddling, he didn't much mind....he just liked being with her. This whole trip had just been so wonderful.

The woman sort of shook her head after a moment, a bit of a smile spread across her face as she tugged him along. "It's fine. I mean, what else would I don't if you didn't leave the house in such a huge state all the time," she teased lightly. That was it, though... she didn't even mind. Normally if he was making a mess in the kitchen it was to do something nice for her and the kids, and he was enjoying himself and that was really all that mattered to her. He'd been through so much, and she really just loved seeing him so happy. She hummed in thought before flopping down on the couch, sort of patting her stomach for him to come and cuddle up.

Sage chuckled lightly in response to her comment, and nodded with a grin. "Yeah....without me and the kids driving you crazy you'd be so bored," he chirped, really just amused at the whole conversation. Of course, when sat down, he was more than happy to flop down on the couch with her, resting his head in her lap lightly. He knew it was alte, and they'd have to get to sleep soon enough....but for now, it didn't matter much when they went to bed. They had plenty of time to do...well, whatever they wanted. Which was admittedly sort of nice.

The girl rolled her eyes slightly at his comment, though moved to lightly run her hands around his back with a small hum. "I know. Man, what would I do without you lot running around all the time? Sleep? What rubbish," she mused lightly before sort of playing with his hair. It had gotten really long now, and she sort of loved messing around with it. She was tired... well, not really, but she was certainly happy to rest for a little while at least.

Sage chuckled lightly in response to her comment, giving her a grin and nodding. "Exactly! I keep you young and looking all pretty," he mused lightly, still really just joking around but more than happy to do so. "sleep is overrated," he chuckled. "I think we should all just be sleep deprived and mad at the world together, that would solve all the issues out there," he snorted, in a rather joking manner. Maybe it didn't make much sense in a way, but his brain was full and it was late, so maybe it was a bit silly. But he had a decent excuse either way. He sort of just settled in happily after a moment, humming lightly when he felt Mari start playing with his hair....it always did feel nice when she ran her nails along his scalp. So he was perfectly happy layingvthere.

The woman pouted at him after a moment before gently tugging on his hair in a playful manner. "Please. It's most certainly not up to you to keep me young and pretty! If anything you're the reason I'll turn into some old hag," she mused softly to him, one of her hands sort of rubbing his back while the other one fiddled with his hair. "I think is being mad together would cause more issues than solve them," she hummed softly. "I've seen you mad. You're a force to be reckoned with Mr. Sage," she hummed lightly to him, a small sort of chuckle escaping her.

Sage chuckled lightly and grinned up at the girl. "Then you'll be ugly and wise," he mused. "Though personally I think grey hairs just make you look even more magical," he added lightly, making a sort of face when he felt her hand hit a more sore spot. Not that he was really sore....but it was more sore, if that could explain it. Whatever. He sort of just chuckled softly and shook his head slightly. "Beingad is probably my best talent sometimes," he mused.
