Quinn nodded in response to Sage's comment, pondering what he said. Since there wasn't a mischievous grin or a sly twinkle in the eye... Quinn guessed he didn't have just 1 thing. He might not even know what he was looking forward to. -I would just be so thankful to move again- Quinn thought with a slight smile, watching the embers of The fire. It had died down rather quickly, since it never really grew in the first place.

Sage's brain had moved on to more important things than messing with Quinn by then...namely, when they should move places. This place was wonderful, and had been lovely, and except for the one man they killed no one had bothered them. It seemed to be a good place to stay. But, it wouldn't last....nothing this good ever did. "Should we move soon," he wondered out loud. "No one's bothered us, but I don't want to risk anything either," he pointed out. Maybe they could stay another couple days...he could give Quinn the night he'd sort of promised her, and if she did get pregnant, which at this point was likely based off her scent, they could find a good place to settle down until they got a chance to move again.

Quinn glanced over at Sage as he spoke, nodding. "Probably. I would like to get on a little higher ground, maybe with a small lake and a stream." She mused, her brain already running again. "There's mountains over north, so that would be higher ground. We don't have to go too far up but deer love to live right on the lower slopes." Quinn commented quietly, putting he felt chin in her hands.

Sage hummed lightly and nodded in agreement. "I was thinking we stay here a few more nights and relax a bit now that I'm alright. Hunt and make jerky and prepare for a move. Then move once we're good and ready," he mused. Then he pursed his lips and thought for a moment. "If we head south, there's that sort of land. We could go in the direction. Plus, if we go that way, it'll throw anyone from the palace off our trail since they think we're heading west," he added.

Quinn let out a small sigh. "Good idea. I can hunt some more deer, we can cook and preserve some venison... maybe hunt a pig and get some pork and ham..." Quinn trailed off as she thought. "Also a good idea. South sounds... correct, and you know more about this land then I do." Quinn announced, then she smiled wryly. "Wow Sage, I didn't know you had this many good ideas." She teased with a grin, glancing at him

Sage hummed lightly and nodded in thought, then chuckled slightly at the girl's tease. "I know it well enough to survive in it," he said with a shrug. "I've been all over through here in battles. These scars didn't all come from sitting around the castle," he pointed out with amusement.

(Short, my mom's calling my name. Something about the dog being dumb :/ )

(Oh, sounds like a normal day in the neighborhood for my family XD. Have fun lol))

Quinn agreed with a small frown. "Hm. Well at least you know it." Was all she said, her voice a little sad. How had she got all her scars? Sitting around at the castle. Well, some small scars from galloping through the trees and falling off or assorted things like that, but most of the big ones came from her mother Or the men her mother sent to practically torture her. Bad memories.

Sage agreed with a hum, though he definitely wished he hadn't had to fight in so many battles....it really just sucked. He'd preferred those scars to the ones his father had given him, though ...at least he was doing something and not just getting hurt because he was part werewolf. "Yeah," he hummed eventually.

Quinn did not like the feeling of a blanket of sadness or quiet settling over them, so she took a breath. "Let's take today off and start preparing tomorrow, then leave the day after. Sound good?" She asked, shifting in her position near the fire and looking thoughtful. They could relax today, hunt, skin, gut, prepare, and cook tomorrow... then gather up everything and leave the next day. Sahara would be excited to finally leave, since she was part Nomad and loved moving from one place to another.

Sage broke out of his thoughts at the sound of the girl's voice and then nodded thoughtfully. "That sounds fine to me," he mused. "If we really need an extra day or two that's fine....it is a good place and I want to make sure we have at least a week's worth of supplies just in case we don't find any other good place soon." That worked well enough....they could have their fun tonight, then work the next day and then be in a solid place by the time anything else happens.
