Sage leaned into her, Liz having settled down in his lap tiredly by then

Celeste smiled, kissing his head.

Sage rested there for a while, until Liz called him over to play, now that she was awake and full of energy
|
|  |

|
Celeste smiled. "Go play with your daughter, wolfie," she teased lightly, reaching for Att, Xavier and June now that quintuplets were asleep.

Sage pecked Celeste's cheek and bounced over to play with Liz, though after an hour or so pain shot through his head, causing him to falter slightly. He did his best to hide it but ...it really hurt.

|
Celeste was playing with the triplets when suddenly Att winced and began to cry. She rocked her baby, soothing him, but doing no good. She glanced over at Sage, worried.

Sage reached for Liz to continue playing with her, but his hand shook. He pulled it back again, occupying Liz and standing up to walk over to att, who'd started to cry, but then got dizzy and nearly fell over. As it was, he had needed to steady himself on the nearest object...which happened to be Xander unfortunately for the other male. He'd definitely have a bruise or two soon. He hissed out a curse as his chest started aching, and squinted at Odessa. "What day is it," he managed to get out

|
Xander hissed in pain, but didn't yell at Sage. Odessa glanced up, "The 21st," she replied. Celeste held Att close as he began to cry harder, looking up at him worriedly.

Sage shook his head, trying to think. It was early for it to be a full moon...but that was only only explanation for all this. He gasped out an apology to Xander, releasing the boy and moving to let himself slide down the wall as his legs went out under him, pain swamping his body. "No. No, no, no," he sort of growled, looking back over at Celeste, panic growing in his chest. "I can't morph here," he noted, eyes wide. "I could hurt someone, or someone could find out, or..." He trailed off, not sure what else to say.

Celeste called Odessa over softly. "Go find anyone working here with any mythical scent and bring them back here," she whispered to her. Odessa nodded and went out with Xander. Celeste slowly got out of bed, carrying Att with her and sat down beside Sage. "Hey, honey, everythings going to be okay. No ones gonna find out, no one will get hurt,"
