Aria smiled softly and nodded. "Yeah, I would love that." She hummed happily. When her croissant came out, she started nibbling away on that after finishing her coffee. The girl's bright green eyes sort of sparkled under the cafe lights.

Sage couldn't help but think the girl looked pretty under the lights and felt a light blush redden his face. He focused on eating the pastry when it came out, looking around as if trying to take in every detail, since he almost never got out of the castle.

Aria looked over at Sage, and noticed his face redden. She smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "It's pretty huh?" She said, following his gaze around the cafe. The girl met Sage's eyes and blushed a bit.

Sage hummed in agreement and nodded. "I'll have to explore the town more...get out a bit," he hummed, absentmindedly tapping his fingers against the table top as he thought. "You could show me around a bit if you wanted ...I'm afraid I don't know much about anywhere but the woods and castle." He shrugged slightly.

Aria nodded and smiled. "Fine. Only if we get to ride horses. Right now." The girl teased. She stood up and threw her stuff away. Aria looked over at Sage and stuck her tounge out playfully. "Hurry up you slow poke!" She joked, walking over to the boy.

Sage huffed at the girl's joke and then scrambled after her with a giggle when she took off before him. "I'm coming, I'm coming," he laughed, glad he got to play around with someone his age for once...he'd never really gotten to have a friend and just mess about in the castle before.

Aria really wanted to tell him her feelings for him, but instead she just grabbed his hand and took off out of the town. "I'll meet you back at the castle, okay?" She asked with a soft smile before turning to face the boy. The girl kind of forgot her hand was in his. A slight blush covered her cheeks.

Sage felt a blush light up his cheeks but he gave a girl a wide smile and nodded. "Yeah," he hummed. "I'd like that." He really would ..he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible.

"Ok i'll... see you soon!" Aria said smiling. She let go of his hand and ran back to her house. The girl looked over her shoulder and flashed the boy a grin as he still stood there. Aria felt her cheeks flush again, but she just shook it off and went to grab Axel. "Hey boy. I'ts, been awhile. Wanna go for a ride?" She asked, grabbing his bridle. "You don't need a saddle huh? Mhm." Aria nodded. smiling.

Sage nodded, still blushing, and watched the girl run off. Once she was out of sight, he turned and slipped back into castle grounds and headed for the stables. Luckily, he could sneak in unnoticed and grab his horses bridle. "Hey bud," he chirped, and the tall black stallion popped his head over the stall door with an eager nicker. He slipped the bridle over the horses head and led him out, scrambling onto him happily before nudging him with his heels. The horse took off, always ready for a good run. His energy never seemed to cease...which was why sage had named the stallion chaos when hed first came to the castle.
