Sage sort of rolled his eyes in response to her comments, chuckling along as she spoke. "Old age," he protested. "I can do everything I could ten years ago," he added with a huff of air, crossing his arms, a playful grin plastered onto his face. "You're the one who's become less thrilled with my adventures over the years," he teased her lightly. They lingered there for a while longer, but did wander down to the kitchen after a while, making something small up just in time for the kids to wander downstairs.

Mari grumbled out a breath under her breath, then flashed him a rather amused looking smile. Yeah, no, his adventures had become less adventurous and more... let's try and stay alive. Even more so now that they had the kids. They needed their parents. She and Sage made breakfast together happily, and she couldn't help the smile that crossed her face when the kids came running down. It was just french toast, but they seemed more than thrilled with the whole thing. She plopped down in her chair once they were all settled, just glad to relax a little bit.

Sage let the conversation slide, and they moved downstairs to prepare the breakfast together. They didn't talk much....they didn't need to. It was all just a familiar pattern they were both very glad to have back. He had a grin etched across his face as the kids came down, their excitement contagious. He couldn't help but join them quickly at the table, more than glad to finally be home and healthy enough to actually talk to them. Spend time with them.

Mari gave a slight smile at the sight of everyone settling back in at home... it really was nice to see. She'd been scared for a while that she'd never see them all together again. The kids seemed thrilled, and Sage had the most amazing grin across his face. She sort of hummed quietly as she set the table up, eventually brining plates and the likes over to them.

Sage had helped make the food, but when the kids came down he'd admittedly just plopped down with them, just glad to spend some time with them. On a normal day he'd have helped Mari set the table up, but he'd missed his children. His mind has sort of just gone straight to them. He knew Mari wouldn't mind, of course... If he thought she'd have been upset he'd have just made sure everything was done and ready by the time the kids got here. But she was watching them all with a smile on her face, and he knew she was just as glad as him that their family was all safe and back together again.
