Aria sort of leaned into Sage's arms and laid her head against him. She had to admit, it was very comforting. "No... No it's okay. I just get emotional thinking about family since I lost both parents." The girl said sadly. She grinned softly. "I have to admit. You make a pretty good pillow." Aria said was a light chuckle.

Sage nodded and then hummed lightly. "well you look like you could use a good pillow," he chuckled lightly. He sort of wished he was more emotional about his mother's death ...it would have meant he cared about her, which would have meant that she'd at least cared a little bit.

Aria blushed when he said that. "Thank you. This had been pretty hard on me, and you're just... comforting." The girl said looking up at Sage and smiling. She noticed that she was still curled up in his arms, but weirdly... she didn't want to move.

Sage hummed lightly and patted the girl on the shoulder, giving her a grin. "Well at least I'm good for something to someone," he joked, though there was a half truth to it. He was reluctant to release the girl too, which was an odd feeling, but now necessarily a bad one, he didn't think.

"Well I think you're a good pillow and I guess your dad thinks you're a pretty good servent." Aria laughed. She closed her eyes in a relaxing way and grinned happily. "Sage... I-I really like you." The girl finally admitted. She felt relived and embarrassed at the same time.

Sage chuckled lightly and shrugged. "You're not wrong I suppose," he hummed. Then he cocked his head and looked down at the girl in surprise. "Like...would go on a date if I asked like? Or just best friend like? Because I think a date would be nice," he admitted sheepishly, feelish a light blush settle on his face.

Aria smiled. "I think a date would be pretty nice too." She said feeling her blush deepen. "But, there is something I need to tell you." The girl looked down. "I-I'm half vampire... My dad was one." She said hoping not to scare Sage.

Sage cocked his head lightly at the girl's comment. "Really? That's cool," he chirped. "So can you, like, smell my blood," he asked curiously. "Do you even have to suck blood? Do you have fangs," he asked, leaning close to her face as if looking for some. He was really just thinking it was cool.

"Yes I can smell your blood, no I do not suck blood... that's gross." Aria chuckled. She smiled wide, letting Sage see her two fangs. "Yes, I have fangs..." The girl said. She sort of blushed when she noticed how close her face was to his. Aria pursed her lips and crossed her arms. "Sometimes I hate being a vampire, because I can NEVER control my feelings." She giggled softly.

Sage hummed slightly and then cocked his head. "Really? No blood," he asked, sitting back a bit when he realized how close she was. "I thought you maybe would need some every now and then," he admitted with a shrug. Then he chuckled. "Well, sometimes that helps, right? Like right now, you had the guts to tell me you liked me, no?"
