Ella leant back on the sofa to relax whilst Sage took a shower, though his words bought a slight smile to her lips. Whether that was suggestive or purely just practical, she definitely didn't mind either way. "Well you've said it now, cant go back on your word can you." She said with a soft voice, promptly standing up and grabbing whatever clean pajamas she could find, then latching herself onto Sages side.

Sage couldn't help but chuckle when she practically bounced back over to him. He gave her a grin and a sort of side hug in response, humming lightly. "I suppose not," he mused in a joking manner. "Though, if you want to actually bathe I suggest letting go so I can undress," he teased her happily, sort of waiting for her to release him before turning the water on and moving to undress, starting with his shirt.

"If i absolutely have to" Ella said teasingly, letting go of Sages arm so he could undress as he said. She did the same, throwing her clean clothes on the side and the ones she had on, int the basket by the sink, and proceeded to wait for the water to turn warm. It felt strange how comfortable she felt, especially being sat there with bacislky no clothes on, but she wasn't complaining.

Sage chuckled at her comment and tossed his clothes in the basket as well, and then moved to toss the girl a towel. "Put that wherever," he mused. "But we're gonna want a towel when we get out," he pointed out with a shrug. He sort of waited with her for a moment before he decided the water was warm enough and he slipped into the tub happily. He always enjoyed a nice warm shower...before, he normally got cold water, and he'd decided a long time ago that warm water was significantly better.

is there any points we could skip to do you reckon? for either now or a little later??)

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe something happens where they get attacked and separated or whatever. Maybe the guard she met earlier saves her and she falls in love with him then?)

we could do that! sorry for the reply, i've not really had much time the past week or so. would you wanna start or me?

If you could start, that would be easiest for me, but it doesn't matter too much lol
