Sage sort of groaned when elara just sent Liz scrambling back towards him, huffing out a "not fair," to her before letting out a startled yelp when Liz launched herself directly into him. He caught her as she flopped directly onto his stomach, a grunt escaping him before giving up as Liz gave him a few light smacks to prove her victory or whatever.

Sage just shook his head with a sigh, giving her a look. "I told her to take you hostage, not beat you up," he protested with a laugh, taking the stick from Liz gently and sitting up, though holding onto her and pressing a kiss to her head. "Most princesses don't take over their own kingdom though," he teased the little girl, to which she giggled and just snuggled in happily.

Sage just rolled his eyes at her comments, moving to get off the floor and crawl onto the bed next to Elara, still holding onto Liz. "You're terrible," he grumbled, though it was more amused than anything. "So mean to me," he added with a dramatic huff.

Sage snickered softly at her own acts of drama, just giving her a fond look before peering down at Liz, who was still curled happily into his chest. "One of these days I'll make you a real sword out of a stick, yeah," he mused, to which the girls eyes light up and she nodded excitedly.

Sage nodded in agreement to elaras suggestions about having two, since he knew Liz would want to play with her and Elara. Plus, The ones the knights use would still be a bit big for her, so he'd make her a slightly smaller one for now, but she would grow into the bigger one as well. "That's a good idea," he agreed lightly.
