Sage hummed lightly with a shrug at her comment. He did hope he could grow out of that a bit...not having nightmares and flashbacks would be lovely. Not freaking out anytime something small happened would also be lovely. Maybe he could get to a point where his brain wasn't such a jerk...but it wasn't now, and he didn't know how long it might take, or even if he could. But he decided to focus on now...it was a nice evening, and he had Quinn there.

Quinn turned the meat over again and closed her eyes, soaking up the warmth. She took the meat off and checked it, letting it cool off for a minute before handing a good portion to Sage. Then Quinn ate a little bit, savoring the flavour, a small smile on her face. She loved venison.... next to pigs, deer were the best meat givers

Sage felt a wide grin spill across his face when Quinn handed him the deer. He did love venison...it was just as good as goose. Actually, it was probably better than goose, but goose had the added benefits of having the final laugh. Maybe that was the big reason he liked it so much. Either way, he was more than happy to chow down on the big chunk of meat Quinn handed him.

Quinn finished her smaller piece quickly, not eating any more. She leaned back against the rock again and closed her eyes, looking contented. Deer was just so good... it was like icing on top of a cake. Quinn glanced over at Sage, smiling as she saw his grin.

Sage finished his own piece a bit after Quinn finished eating hers, and stretched his nose towards the rest of the meat, glancing at Quinn heasitantly, almost as if asking permission to take more before he couldn't help but snag another rather large piece of meat. He wanted to leave enough for tomorrow though, so he'd stay at that.

Quinn half snickered at Sage's look, rolling her eyes. "take some if you want, I don't care." She said right before he grabbed some. She chuckled slightly, turning her gaze to the forest and it's orchestra of chirps, squawks, and songs.

Sage gave the girl an amused look when she spoke up if he could take it. He would have responded, except she'd turned her focus away again and well ....he wanted to eat. So they could talk later. He kept his ears lazily flicking around, as much as his human genes let him, as he ate. And once he was done eating, he licked his lips happily and settled down next to Quinn with a soft sigh.

Quinn was amazed at how her life was now. It had gone from torture to terror to meeting Sage... then starting to like him... then falling into the 'Ring of Fire'... and now here. Her life was just about perfect here.. Sage, Sahara, Chaos, nature, fire, trees, birds, fresh air, pretty much anything she coold have ever wished for

Sage was content to sit there in silence....well not silence, there was still the noises of the forest around them he supposed...but they weren't talking, and it was peaceful to just close his eyes and listen to the birds and frogs and the wind whispering with the trees, and to feel the sun scattered all over from where it slipped through the leaves. It was all lovely, really, and he was definitely quite happy with the way things had turned out between him and Quinn...he really did love the girl.

(Yes they were talking, you just can't hear them LOL)

Quinn listened to all the animals speaking, and for once... it didn't give her a headache. Maybe because she could just listen, sitting here in the calm, with Sage... she didn't know. That brought her to the interesting thought.... of how she had never had a -brain attack- since the one right after she met Sage. It might be just because she actually found something good in her life, or she got away from her mothers torture so she wasn't scared that there was a whip waiting around the corner all the time... or maybe they just stopped on their own. Quinn shifted slightly and stared at the fire, looking thoughtful and calm
