Sage groaned when she mentioned the bad council, sighing softly as they continued walking since Liz wanted to look at more shops and such. "That's not very helpful," he grumbled. When elara mentioned he'd promised to make changes though, he nodded along. "Good. Enough of us have a hard time without our own government oppressing us," he snorted then three her a somewhat sheepish look. "Though, you and your brother were always nice to me." Then he reconsidered. "Well, except maybe for when we first met," he teased gently, recalling how she'd grabbed his face and immediately threatened him off he were to mess up.

Sage chuckled softly and nodded. "oh, I know," he mused. "Old you would've killed me off a while ago," he added with a grin. "Gotta say, I like the new you much better," he added, moving to grab hold of Liz's hand again before she ran off too far.

Sage hummed softly in agreement, nodding along. "I think I like the new me better too," he admitted. "He's happier." This life was much better than whatever it was he'd had going on before.

Sage humemd in agreement, drifting towards the stall with her. He continued to think about how much they'd changed. He'd changed. He was rather happy with how it was turning out.

Sage made sure to wander through the market in a way that kept them from guards as much as possible, but of course avoiding them completely was impossible. It would also look suspicious. He moved to take the bag from Elara once the fruit was bought, tossing it lightly over his shoulder and holding it there as he walked.
