Sage chuckled in response to her comments, humming along in agreement. "I suppose you did do all that," he hummed, sort of moving to rub her back, starting off lighter and then once he found tenser spots using a bit more power, though of course not too much. He certainly didn't plan on hurting her. "Though some of that is stuff you like doing anyway even if I don't ask," he pointed out, pecking the back of her neck lightly. He appreciated all she did, though....she knew that. He worked hard for them and their family too...but neither of them really worked more than the other. They didn't really keep count.

Mari smiled lightly to him, although he couldn't see it since her head was resting on her arms as she laid back on her stomach. She hummed quietly as she felt his fingers dip into her back, although flinched a little when he hit some more sore bits. When he kissed her neck, though, she chuckled lightly. "I'd willingly give my life for you. I'd willingly throw you off a cliff, too," she laughed playfully to him after a moment.

Sage couldn't help but laugh in response to her comment. "I'm not sure I like either of those options," he noted with amusement, sort of still working down her back gently. "Though Ive probably driven you nuts enough times to warrant being thrown off a cliff," he joked lightly, with a sort of snicker. Obviously, her doing that literally was something crazy enough it would never happen. It was an amusing thought though.

Mari hummed softly as he ran his hands down his back, a soft breath escaping her as he worked out a knot below her shoulder."No? You don't want to be thrown off a cliff?" She teased him softly. She shook her head when he'd driven her crazy. "You drive me crazy all day long. Yet, the last thing I want to do is throw you off a cliff," she chuckled playfully after a moment. She hummed quietly after a moment. "It'd miss you if you fell off a cliff," she whispered softly.

Sage couldn't help but smile softly in response to her comment, working a bit harder on the spot that had caused a reaction from her. "I don't suppose it would be particularly pleasant," he noted with amusement. "I know," he added with a chuckle. "Id miss you too, even if I were dead," he added, the whole conversation rather just amusing.

Mari hummed softly in response to him. She gave him a little smile after a moment, sort of turning her had to look back at him. She groaned softly, sort of pressing her back into his hands as he worked. "You'd miss me even if I was the one that kiled you?" She chuckled lightly. "Well, I'd miss you more. I'd regret pushing you off a cliff, and jump after you. Once the kids can live without us, though," she mused.

Sage snickered softly and give her a smile. "Mari, you could do pretty much anything to me and I'd still love you," he noted softly, pressing his knuckles against her a little harder when she pressed against them, glad to be able to make her feel better. "The kids might not appreciate that much," he noted with a chuckle. The conversation continued for a little while longer, and eventually he'd worked all the tenseness out of Maris back so he should her, settling down tiredly next to her.

Mari chuckled softly to him after a moment, though quietened down when he worked her back a little harder, just enjoying the moment more than anything. Shen he settled down next to her, though, she smiled and rolled onto her side to wrap her arms around him firmly. She was exhausted, but she felt a lot more relaxed and her back did feel better. She looked up at him quietly. "You said I could do anything to you and you'd still love me? Thats not very safe, Sage," she murmured gently, burying her nose into the crook of his neck.

Sage had settled down, wrapping his arms around her and relaxing into the bed. At her comment though, he hummed softly. "No, I suppose it's not," he mused. It probably wasn't ....but he trusted her not to treat him badly. He supposed he was just lucky she was so good to him. Really, she could treat him terribly ...treat him like the people in the tavern. Hit him, and that sort of thing. She could do any of it and he'd still always come crawling back. It was pathetic, but he knew that's what would happen. "But you're not going to hurt me," he added after a moment, honestly half asleep by then.

Mari smiled soflty even if he couldn't see it since her head was buried firmly into his neck. She was already slipping off to sleep, but still had the energy to reply. She'd never hurt him. Hell, if she stood on his foot by mistake she'd almost definately break down in tears. She let out a soft breath and nodded quietly. "I'd never hurt you," she murmured gently to him.
