Sage sort of cocked his head at Mari when as soon as she saw him doming back downstairs, she was holding her hands out, but just grinned and wandered over to the couch, flopping down next to her so she could wrap her arms around him and he could wrap his around her. "I was gonna do this anyway you know," he teased softly. "You didn't need to call me over so quickly." He was just messing with her though....he just found it somewhat amusing, he supposed.

Mari huffed out an exasperated breath at his comment, but wrapped her arms tightly around him. "You were taking far too long," she complained, rolling her eyes as she flopped her head down on his chest. "I needed you here ten minutes ago," she added in playful complaint. She looked up at him for a moment, a soft hum escaping her as she leaned in to press a pretty firm kiss to his lip. "You're making dinner tonight," she stated with another huff, moving to cuddle into him.

Sage sort of groaned and shook his head, settling down next to her, grin lingering on his face. "Then you would have had to dealt with me fresh from the barn," he noted with a chuckle. "I'm pretty sure you'd prefer to have waited a few minutes for me to clean up," he added, eyes twinkling. He kissed her back, eyebrows rising at her dinner comment. "I am," he mused in mock offense. If she wanted him to, he'd do it no questions asked ..but he could tease a bit.

Mari groaned softly, but moved to curl into him regardless. "I just needed a hug Sageeee," she she complained with a bit of a chuckle. She just wanted him to hold onto her for a bit, she supposed. "You know the drill surely. You come in all raw and gross, you give me a hug and a kiss then I get to tell you how gross you are. Then you'll get showered," she huffed, burying her nose into the side of his neck. When he raised his brows, though, she nodded with a pout. "Yep. Then, I'm gonna go out the kids to bed while you wait for me down here," she murmured, reaching back to rub her shoudler. "And you're gonna give me the best damn massage ever. Does that sound like s plan?" She mused happily.

Sage chuckled softly, rolling his eyes in response to her comments. "I have you a kiss, was that not enough," he sort of whined, though clearly just teasing. He squeezed her Geny in response to her next comments though, humming in agreement. "I think I can manage that," he chuckled, pecking her head lightly and just nestling his nose in her hair. "A good massage and then an early night, yeah," he added tiredly, clearly amused by it all. It had certainly been a long day.

Mari gave him a look after a moment. "You did give me a kiss. But you're my husband and you should know how to treat your wife by now!" She teased him lightly. "You should be dying to see me when you get in the house, not dying to shower," she complained playfully after a moment. When he burried his nose into her hair, though, she gave a small smile. "A good massage and an early night sounds perfect," she hummed lightly, giving him a gentle squeeze.

Sage sort of rolled his eyes in response to her comment, wrinkling his nose slightly. "If it were up to me I'd just flip down on the couch and stay there," he noted. "It's because you get mad if I get on the furniture all gross," he added lightly, poking her side gently. When she agreed to an early night though, he nodded happily. He was exhausted. ..he was glad to help Anya, and he'd gotten a lot done....but he was more than ready for bed and it wasn't even dinner time yet. "Then it's a plan," he chirped lightly, just glad to finally be sitting down.

Mari rolled her eyes at him playfully. "But Sage, that's a part of it. I get a gross sweaty kiss then get to tell you to shower. What good am I if I can't do that?" She complained jokingly, leaning up to peck his lips lightly. When he poked her side, though, she giggled and sort of squirmed away from him, gently grabbing his hand. She smiled when he agreed to their plan, though. She liked evenings like this, when they were relaxed and calm. When they had a plan for it. She definitely liked plans. And she definitely was looking forwards for a good massage too.

Sage chuckled softly and gave her an amused look, pecking her lips lightly when she leaned in. "Fine, I'll make sure to get you sweaty before I go wash off from now on," he noted, voice heavy with amusement. He lingered there for a bit longer, before sort of humming softly. "Are you wanting anything in particular for dinner," he asked after a moment or so.

Mari smiled at him, her eyes light as she watched him. He was so perfect. She didn't think she told him often, but he was. Him coming over to give her a sweaty kiss before he showered because he missed her when he'd been out was always the highlight of the day. "Please do. I love it," she hummed lightly as he leaned in to peck her kiss. She patted his chest lightly before smiling. "Cottage pie," she mused lightly to him.
