Sage had slept for a while, but eventually he woke and wandered around the room to see what was around. There was a bathroom there too, so, he took the chance to actually take a shower and comb his hair out. It just made him feel much better. More like himself, in a way. He left his hair out to air dry once it was combed through, sitting back down on his bed and using the notepad and pencil that were sitting on the bedside table to sketch something out. When Lorenzo showed up, he glanced over in his direction with a hum of greeting. "I'm awake," he noted, faintly amused at the comment. He had rebandaged his side, but had left his shirt unbuttoned to help air it out, so after a moment or two he did think to hope Lorenzo would be fine with that.

he huffed tossing him self onto the bed.. "ouch not soft- remind me too turn these beds better.. or whatever" he held hilda close too his chest groaning dramatically "ever wanna just harm your father.." he grunted rambling on god knows what now.. he shot a sharp eye at sage glancing at the unbuttoned shirt tsking before looking away running a hand through his hair his blue eyes taking in his surroundings lorenzo was for sure plotting something but who could ever tell with lorenzo.
he started to kick his feet in the air like a pelunant child.. before grunting as he made his way to fully sit up once moore hilda jumping off his chest and padding over to sage

Sage had chuckled when Lorenzo flopped onto the bed, shifting to the side slightly to give him enough room to join him. "It's better than my bunk back home," he noted. "And it's definitely better than the ground during a mission," he added, the whole situation vaguely amusing. Though, at Lorenzo's mention of his father, his eyebrows shot up. "Do you two not get along," he asked, admittedly curious about the situation, mostly since he had a rocky history with his own father. He ignored Lorenzo's tsk, not entirely caring what he thought, and instead shifted to let Hilda climb onto his lap with a smile, taking her in his arms happily and stroking her gently. "She's friendly," he noted, clearly happy to just sit there and let her, even enough to set his nearly finished drawing off to the side.

"no.. you can have my old man..." he grunted watching hilda curl up on sage "my cat.." he frowned reachinng over like he just lost the love of his life..
he sat up rubbing his face as he made a move to go and retrieve hilda from sage lap.. mumbling something under his breath, words that just couldnt quiet form a sentence from second listening despite this.. lorenzo believes anyone could hear him and fell silent "you heard nothing.. shhh.."

Sage grunted when Lorenzo mentioned he could have his father. "I would say I'd suggest a trade, but I think you'd find mine to be an even worse situation," he noted with a shake of his head, nose wrinkling slightly at the thoughts of his own dad. Though, when he reached for Hilda, sage made a mockingly exaggerated expression, gasping and leaning away from him. "No, I want her," he whined, though he wouldnt mind if Lorenzo did actually want the animal back. It was just amusing really.

he grunted leaving hilda in his lap he took the pillow burying his face as he threw him self back like a peluant child.. it was amusing to watch the scene occuing.. it fell silent in the room for a good few minutes then lorenzo broke it with a dumb question. "do you ever wish you could fly.." he huffed as he finally removed the pillow from his face his pupils getting bigger as they adjusted to the lightneing of the room they were in .. a pause coming from lorenzo "or maybe.. like be a mermaid.."

Sage just chuckled slightly when lorenzo threw himself over, watching him with an amused expression on his face. He continued to pet the animal in his lap, too, causing her to vibrate softly with purrs he found admittedly quite relaxing. He was happy to just sit there like that with the company, though he couldnt hold back his laugh when lorenzo's random thought came out of his mouth. "No," he noted, though it wasn't very certain. "Though, I suppose either one would be cool," he added, cocking his head slightly to one side in thought. "And useful." It was an absurd thing to be talking about - but it was a nice change from his old life. Even of he wasn't sure why he was here rather than still tied up in a chair or in the dungeons, he did like it.

he got up rubbing his eyes "now.. not here to be friends you'll be my knight body guard if you will " in other words basically being lorenzo's personal buddy. fun for sage right? definetly not lorenzo looked around as he tapped his index finger on his chin "or you could just join oour army.. cant promise you will live loong enough to see precious old me though.." he shrugged clearly trying to scare sage more than anything although his blue eyes hardened as he spke as if there was some truth hidden under the semi threat he had posed on to sage

Sage felt his eyebrows shoot upwards in surprise. "You decided an enemy soldier you picked up out of nowhere was the best person to be your personal body guard," he noted, clearly confused. It didn't make a whole lot of sense. But....he didn't seem to be upset about it, even shrugging off Lorenzo's last comments with a hardening of his own face. "I've survived worse," he noted simply. "I'll manage." Edited at June 4, 2026 07:03 PM by NightClan

"dad said i needed one.. dunno you seem fun to annoyy.." he huffed a slight smirk appearing on his face as he slowly but surely stood up "unless youd rather be going out to war and whatever then i get it.. up to you really" he shrugged as he stared at sage his blue eyes filled with mischeif and naughty tendencies.. choosing this option would be huge changing how they interacted in the future sage knew that and so did lorenzo. he picked up hilda holding her against his chest pettng her head with three fingers . hilda meowed and purred in contentment "hilda will be your friend if my body guard.." a bribe ? didnt seem out of the ordinary for loorenzo
