Sage grinned at her, actually excited to be going back to the old, grimy tavern....not something he'd ever have guessed he'd be thinking. "Absolutely. If I sit around here and do nothing for much longer I'm going to go stir crazy. I've already explored every inch of the castle and scared everyone I see out there." He laughed and shrugged. "Besides, I can't get all lazy anyway ...I gotta go back out there eventually," he admitted. He knew she'd like nothing more than having him stay, but it just wasn't possible, especially once she became queen and married Luther. "I'll stay for new years, and then I'll probably have to leave soon after, unless somehow your mom decides I'm a decent person and accepts any suggestions and I can actually help you guys." He yawned again, not thinking he'd be much help if something happened today, though. He wondered if Anya was going to get back dressed at any point....he didn't really mind this, though she had to get chilly at some point, right?

Anya cocked her head slightly but gave a light smile. She knew he'd have to go back out there at some point... he needed to keep his job, to feed himself. They could give him some money to live off , but without Lizzie now, he'd probably drive himself crazy doing nothing all day. The work would be good for him, she supposed. He didn't being here, as much as she hated it, it was true. He wasn't exactly happy staying within the grounds all day, and she knew that. The girl hummed a thought as she laid there before rolling onto her side, still hugging the blanket to herself. She should probably get up and dressed, go start the day or whatever, but she could do that before she had to go. Well, then or whenever Sage left. "New years will be fun... it's nothing formal or anything, but it just... like... fun." She shrugged thoughtlessly.

Sage smiled up at her. "I know. I'll enjoy whatever we do, you know that." He rolled over with a grunt so he was on his side facing Anya. He propped his head up with his hand, resting his elbow on the bed. "You look like you're having quite the lazy morning...we can figure out when I leave and what I'm doing later." He grinned over at her. "I don't really feel like doing much right this moment either," he laughed. Luther was probably still asleep, so there was no harm in laying around for a bit. He'd missed the girl the day before, but he knew she needed some time to herself. She wouldn't have sought him out if she wasn't ready to, after all, and he was fine with it if they just cuddled ...undressed or not, either way was fine with him. They had cozy blankets and stuff....so either way they'd be warm.

The girl gave a small smile, her eyes heavy as she closed them for a moment or so. "I don't get lazy mornings all that often... and well, everyones busy with this whole rebellion thing to notice I'm missing for a little while..." she fiddled with her hair for a little while before giving a grin. "And I fully plan to use that. Whether it'd be here or if I go back to my own room, it's not going to be a very productive day for me." She noted with a small giggle and flopping back down on the bed. "New years is normally more... organised, than Christmas. Not so chaotic, which is normally why its an little bit more enjoyable." She breathed softly before giving a small chuckle, realising she was really just talking for the sake of talking

Sage chuckled and slid over so they were shoulder to shoulder. If she wanted to cuddle up they could, and if she just wanted to talk, he was ok with that too. He did want to just lay around with her, and a cuddle would be nice, but he wanted her to be happy and content. 'well it does sound enjoyable," he admitted. "Though, that might be because it's you telling me about it," he giggled. He rested his head against her shoulder lightly, sliding down a little bit but still next to her. "I'd probably do anything you ask me to," he laughed, knowing he would if he could help her he would...he wouldn't do anything completely horrible but of course he'd do what he could.

The girl chuckled slightly before shuffling around a little so that she had one arm resting over his side, and her head just on his shoulder. She gave him a small hum when he spoke, letting her grin grow a little. She knew full well he'd do anything she asked of him... and she still wasn't sure why. But she'd do anything for him in return... they kind of went hand and hand. God this is annoying. She couldn't figure out shy she was so drawn to this boy, but she loved him. Probably a little too much, if she was being totally honest, and she still was't overly sure what they were exactly. They weren't friends not now, but they couldn't afford to be anything other than that. She shook her head slightly before glancing up to him, "I know you'd do anything I'd ask of you... Sage, I've got you wrapped around my little finger. And I think you know it too." She purred in a completely teasing tone. She let out a slightly heavier breath, one of content. In all fairness, it was probably the other way around.

Sage chuckled and scooted in a bit closer when she wrapped her arms around him, a smile spreading across his face. "You really do," he laughed. "I'd literally do anything for you and you know it." It was true ....all she had to do was look cute and ask him, and if he was being honest, she was always cute so he'd just get flustered....even now a light blush was spreading across his face. He'd die for the girl....he knew he would do that without a seconds heasitation....but he thought that with the rebellion and him leaving soon she wouldn't appreciate him saying that quite then, so he left that part out of it.

Anya grinned and ran her fingers along the v of his tunic where his skin was showing. She could normally play people like a fiddle, but with Sage she still struggled to keep herself calm. It was like she was some little girl fawning over some boy she liked. Which she supposed was close enough to the truth. She knew she could mess with Sage... she had done it in the past, the teasing and all that, and she still did from time to time, but she found herself getting all flustered when she did. But it was always fun nevertheless. She tilted her head up and pressed a kiss to his jaw with a slight smirk. "I know, and I love you for it," she purred in a bright and playful tone. Her hand trailed around his chest for a few moments before wandering to his other shoulder, where he had been shot, and rested there for a moment before she sighed slightly. "How's your shoulder feeling? Any better?"

Sage could feel his blush deepening just a bit when she started trailing her hands over his skin, though he should have gotten used to that by now. But he just cuddled in, with a smile, and when she rested her hand on his shoulder he nodded. "I guess I'm a quick healer when I have enough food," he chuckled. "I'm fine....I could screw around with Luther all day yesterday without an issue, so it's not holding me up at all," he murmured thoughtfully. Technically, it wasn't entirely healed yet, but he wasn't going to the doctor's just in case he shouldn't be doing stuff ...he was going to go stir crazy if all he could do was just sit around.

The girl smiled gently and gave a light nod. As long as it wasn't still hurting, him, then that was fine. She'd been so worried about an infection getting in there, and one probably had, but at least it wasn't too bad. It could have been worse, he could have lost his arm if it was that awful. Of course, it wouldn't be fully healed... but it was scarring over now, and they were safe from things getting much worse. "Good... at least that means me getting covered in your blood wasn't for nothing." She noted quietly, rolling her eyes slightly with a small laugh. "I'm glad you and Luther are getting along. I was worried you guys would hate each other," she murmured before shifting down a little to get a bit closer, and a tad comfier.
