Sage chuckled softly in response to her comment, pecking her head lightly with a soft hum. "Well, give me at least five before to start giving up on me," he teased lightly, nudging her gently. At her next comments, he sorry if just rolled his eyes. "I like to think I'll be able to go do as I please until the day I die," he noted with a grin. "If I lose my mind you'll certainly have a hard job ahead of you," he added with a snicker.

Mari hummed softly at his comment, as though deep in thought. "Really? Five whole years?" She pouted, sort of flopping her forehead down on his chest. "That's a long time. You're gonna have to keep me entertained if I even consider keeping you around," she joked as she glanced back to him. She then pouted. "Do as you please? You can do as you please from your nursing home," she cackled as though it was some sort of evil plan. Of course, she'd never do anything like that, so she could tease. "You don't have much of a mind as it is," she huffed.

Sage chuckled softly in response to her comment, wrapping his arms snugly around her when she sort of flipped against his chest. "I reckon I can make it work," he hummed lightly, amusement lacing his voice. "Oh please, I'm very entertaining," he snorted. "Only, you're not as amused by my shenanigans as the kids are," he noted with a chuckle, pecking her head lightly. Of course, at her next comment he sort of wrinkled his nose at her. "I've got enough of a mind to support you and the kids, so I think I'm pretty well set," he chirped lightly.

Mari rolled her eyes at him, and sort of leaned up to press a light kiss to his lips before pulling back again. "I'm not amused by you doing stupid things just to make our children laugh, no," she chuckled lightly. "I am entertained when you try and joke around though," she giggled. She was worried that someday he'd end up really hurting himself... he was their only income at the moment, and while she knew she could go back to work full time if she had to, she wouldn't want to leave him alone if he was that bad. She would start looking for something, though, especially when she was getting so bored around the house. She huffed when he wrinkled his nose, and sort of ran a finger between his eyes and to the tip of his nose. "At the moment, maybe," she mused lightly to him.

Sage kissed the girl back before chuckling softly. "I dunno, it's entertaining for me," he noted lightly, crooked grin sprawled across his face. "You're entertained when you boss me around," he noted, poking her in a teasing manner. "I do believe you were quite happy with yourself when you told me to strip and I didn't argue," he added, still teasing the girl. When she moved her finger down his nose, he sort of crossed his eyes to follow the touch for a moment, humming in amusement and then looking back at her. "Let's hope we don't have to deal with that," he mused lightly.

Mari rolled her eyes. "Again, entertaining until you bend over and get struck like that," she mused. She sort of squirmed a little when he poked her, and gave him a playfully exasperated breath. Although, he wasn't wrong. She did rather enjoy the fact he'd just trust her so blindly. "I was very happy with myself," she giggled. "And you. You're far too trusting of me, Sage. You had no clue what I was planning and you didn't even question it," she sort of cackled. "I can't even imagine what was going through your head," she then added with a laugh. She could only grin when his eyes crossed, and sort of moved to peck the tip of his nose before sort of playfully pecking the base of his neck. "Not for a little while, at least. I need you here," she chuckled.
