Sage cocked his head slightly when the girl started his story and then pursed his lips, nodding sympathetically when she mentioned he wound up dead ....she'd mentioned that before, and she was obviously upset about it, so he let her change the topic. "No....I only had my younger sister," he hummed. "my family other than her was awful, and I was working at the tavern from the time I was eleven or twelve, so I didn't have time for friends, even if someone wanted to be friends with someone of my rank." He shrugged slightly, though he did wish he'd had a bit of an actual childhood. His childhood was just awful, awful memories, and they definitely weren't ones he liked. He had flashbacks and nightmares about many of them still. "she's dead now too," he hummed quietly after a moment, a wave of sadness crashing over him. Claudia could tell though, so he tried to make himself happier and gave her a smile. "what hobbies do you have," he asked after a moment, desperately trying to have something that wasn't so sad.
