Sage couldn't keep the small giggle from rising from his throat when she kissed him...it brought a light flush to his face, but mostly it had tickled a little bit. He always liked her affections, of course, he just hadn't expected it, so it had tickled. That was ok. He loosened his hold on her so she could roll over, though wrapped himself back around her once she'd settled down again with a soft huff or air. He was waking up by then, but was going to lay around for as long as possible...it was comfortable.

Mari hummed at the sound of his giggle, and just sort of squeezed him once she'd settled down again. She felt a bit more awake... although, it was nearly 11 by then. She sighed and moved to look back at him with a small hum. "You're..." she trailed off with a yawn before sighing. "You're blushing," she mumured quietly as she rolled off to the side, her hands slipping under his shirt and wrapping arounf him tightly.

Sage sort of chuckled in response to her comment, though it certainly didn't help the redness in his cheeks. "It tickled," he noted, voice laced with amusement. He loosened his grip as she moved around, sort of settling on his side after a moment. He could hear small noises outside by then ...no doubt the kids were awake and eating the breakfast Mari had out in the kitchen. They'd be fine for a bit longer though.

Mari smiled to him as he shifted, and moved to put a light hand on his cheek, gently running her thumb over the stubble that was starting to need a shave. She then pouted at him. "You haven't blushed for me in years," she complained softly to him after a moment or two, curling back up as she tried to ignore the noises from downstairs. If she clocked that the kids where up, she'd probably have to go down and see them. She didn't want that right then. She just wanted to curl up and relax.

Sage just gave her a grin in response to her comments, humming softly. "Not true, I blushed plenty the other day," he chirped, reminding her of the whole toga thing. He did note the slight noise her fingers caused as they ran over the stubble...he'd shave later. For now, though, he was content to just lay around for a while longer. It seemed like Mari was content to do so too.

Camery rolled her eyes at him after a moment before shaking her head. "Not enough for me to remember, clearly," she whispered softly. "It's fine. One day illl set you up with someone who remembers shit like that," she joked, leaning up to peck his lips lightly before resting her head against his. Of course, that would never happen. She wouldn't think of handing him over to someone else, not ever. "Next time you blush at me, we're going straight to a mirror so you can see how petty you are," she teased lightly after a moment.

Sage snorted and batted at her in response to her comment, clearly amused. "Well you got what you wanted, and it wasn't a blush at the time," he noted mischievously now that he was fully awake. Though, at her next comment, he sort of gave her a pout. "A mirror? I think I'd rather just get a kiss," he noted lightly, clearly messing around. Although, that wasn't ....not true. He definitely liked getting a kiss.

Mari smiled gently to him, and just groaned after a moment or two, just burying deeper into his neck. "You got what you wanted too. I think I enjoy those sounds you make more than anything," she chuckled. Though, she then hummed. "Although, I do love it when you blush. Reminds me when we first started going out," she whispered softly. Yes, it had taken a little while for him to let his guard down with her, and yes things had gone wrong... but those first few weeks were so perfect. She couldn't love him any more if she'd tried. She sort of pouted at him, and leaned up to peck his nose. "There, have a kiss," she murmured quietly.

Sage couldn't help but grin and just nestle his nose in her hair as she spoke. "I just wanted to make you smile. Laugh. Though I suppose that was pretty great," he hummed, pecking her head lightly. "You do, do you," he hummed, clearly just teasing her...he knew full well she did anything she could to pull a noise out of him. He smiled softly when she mentioned their first few dates...they certainly were a time to remember. "And you're still the beautiful young woman I fell in love with," he noted softly, sort of snickering when she pecked his nose. "Well thank you, m'lady," he sort of chuckled, just messing about a little bit.

Mari smiled lightly to him, his little grin making her face light up. He was so handsome... he was so perfect. He'd always deny it when she said anything, but she felt like he was starting to believe her, just a little. That was a good thing. She always felt good when he just accepted the things she said. "You always make me smile! It's not particularly hard to make me laugh either, Sage," she mused softly to him. She sort of gave him a sheepish grin. "It makes me feel like I'm doing a good job. If you just sat there in silence I'd feel rubbish," she mused softly. She felt a little grin cross back through her face at his comment, though. "Well, I'm less young now," she teased him softly. "But glad you still think I'm pretty," she murmured softly, leaning in to peck his lips again. She sort of wrinkled her nose at him. "M'lady? That's a bit formal for us," she mused.
