Sage giggled, a grin spreading across his face when she answered and then flopped down next to her to cuddle back up, though he stayed pretty much half on top of her. It was something he could do...and she seemed to enjoy it, so why not? They could have some fun before they got ready for the day. She had to get dressed, and he should shower at some point, before leaving the room....but he could deal with that later. Right now he was just enjoying being with her. "Im gonna shower this morning sometime," he murmured into her neck from where he was curled up against her. "But we can mess around and have some fun before we get ready."

The girl grinned at him, her fingers running up and down his back and she thought for a moment. She let him cuddle up again, and took the blanket which she had stolen back off him and wrapped it around him in a type of bear hug since he was still half on top of her, kind of putting them in a cocoon together again. He always kind of curled up against her... and she rather liked it. It was sweet, really. He did the same thing while he was asleep too, though that was more of instinct she assumed. She bit her lip as he spoke, a slight smirk forming on her face. "Well... if you're going to go shower then why don't I join you... then we can have some fun," she whispered softly into ear, a teasing purr in her voice. She was only joking, of course, but if he agreed she'd be up for it all the same.

Sage buried his face deeper in her neck as his face seemed to flame up with a blush, though a type of giggle escaped him. "Well, I can hardly refuse that offer," he purred back, though. They were joking, he knew that, but there was a bit of seriousness in it too, and he was more than ok for her to join him. It might be nice....plus it may give him an excuse to not wash super well, like he was used to. Besides, even if she did make him scrub down as well as she did, he couldn't not enjoy the fact that she'd be with him.

Anya chucked at his weird little giggle, and a beet red blush overtook her cheeks again. She knew she had suggested it, even if it was just a joke, but she wasn't expecting him to actually reply willingly. Saying that, she was all in. And she would be for anything that involved Sage, if she was being totally honest. It seemed like Sage was too. The way he got flustered so easily had always been adorable to her, but the fact he was still getting so flustered, maybe even nervous around her was sweet like now, how he had kind of hid into the crook of her neck - though, she was pretty sure he go himself flustered most of the time. The girl gave a small giggle, her heart fluttering again, "whenever you're ready," she cooed lightly, going back to running her nails up and down his back.

Sage chuckled and shifted slightly with a type of sigh. "I suppose it should be sooner rather than later so people aren't wondering where we're at again," he mused before wriggling around and sitting up reluctantly, the air kind of cold when he moved out from under the blanket. He had to admit....warm water was a bonus....the lake water was always cold so it wasn't exactly enjoyable to go in unless it was super hot out. But the castle water could be heated, and he was sure that this would be enjoyable.

Anya gave a slight nod. "Yeah, if we make habit of leaving late they'll start getting suspicious," she giggled slightly, laying there for a couple of moments, giving a short groan before crawling out the bed, still hugging the blanket to herself... it'd be cold once she got out, actually probably near freezing, so she could stay warm under there until the warm water was running. She wasn't normally slow to get up in the morning, not at all, but in the winter, when it was cold, who could blame her for being a little lack luster? Anyway, it would be nice to get in a warm shower after being a little chilly, and with Sage too... well, that was sure to wake her up.

Sage stretched and rubbed his eyes before sliding off the bed and walking slowly into the bathroom to turn the water on and get it heated up well enough for them. And he wasn't picky...if Anya wanted to change the temperature she could. This would hopefully wake him up at least ....his heart was already speeding up in anticipation. He wondered what this would be like...if she'd come do this again or not. Oh well, for now all they could do was get ready and see how it went. Though, he was sure it would go well and they'd enjoy it.

Anya waited a few moments outside the bathroom, taking a shallow breath before wandering in, flashing Sage a grin before slipping out the blanket and whatever else she had on and hopping in the shower to check the water. Anya was one of those odd people who had to have the water piping hot... almost scolding, really, but she stopped herself from turning it up too much... she doubted Sage would be used to that. She felt her heart beating a little faster, almost in anticipation... or was it nerves? ugh, she seriously had to get a grip. She wasn't scared, or nervous, if anything she was just excited. Hell, would it be like this every time she was around him?

Sage could feel his face heating up when she slipped out of...well... everything, and he felt his heart seem to skip a beat. Well, she could figure out whether she wanted a shower or a bath....and the water temperature. He could care less, and he knew she'd do nothing he wouldn't like. He pulled his shirt off, over his head, his heart seeming to speed up even more as he slipped out of his own clothes and slipped into the shower beside Anya.

Anya tilted her head back a little, running her hands through her hair once or twice before Sage slipped in after her. She smiled before turning around, glancing up and down his torso before giving a grin. They both needed to relax a little... this was the same as all the other times, but for whatever reason, they were a little up tight. Or, Anya was at least. She sighed slightly before grabbing a sponge off the side and beckoning him a little closer. "Turn around," she murmured with a soft chuckle, holding the sponge up slightly with a small smirk. She had totally been planning to just jump into things, but Sage was likely to use that as a way to get out of getting properly clean... and to hell with that. She wanted to get him joking about again, so she had a reason to relax.
