Sage stayed by the fire, figuring she'd appreciate some privacy while she slept. He turned his gaze to the fire, watching the flames leap about and devour the wood he occasionally threw into it, keeping an eye out for anything abnormal

Sage glanced over at the girl when she moved back to the fire, staying there for a while longer before grunting. "If you're gonna stay awake, I'm gonna sleep," he noted, crawling over towards the shelter and letting himself drift off. It was light...he didn't entirely trust the girl yet. But even so, a few hours or rest was appreciated.

Sage didn't take long to fall asleep ...he'd figured out how to force his body to crash. Of course, he normally didn't need to, but even so. Barely sleeping meant you passed out when you got a second, but he had trained himself to stay in a light sleep. To stay somewhat aware of his surroundings while he slept.

Sage slept rather well until he heard a branch break in the distance, and he rose his head, instantly awake as his ears flicked slightly. Whatever was out there....it was big. Which meant it had the potential to be dangerous. He joined the girl outside, eyes scanning the forest and ears perked. He didn't really care if she noticed they were pointed and guessed he wasn't fully human....their safety was more important. Besides, he doubted she'd do anything about it.

Sage was ready to attack whatever the noise was as well, though when he recognized the wolf scent he relaxed. There was something else out there though, so he kept scanning the forest, staring tk move towards the sound at the same time as the wolf, springing into the brush. He halted when he saw the deer, humming. "The question is, did he kill it or did something else do it," he murmured, turning to scan the surrounding area. If there was a predator big enough to kill a doe without a noise, it could mean big trouble.
