Sage grinned over at the girl with a good natured chuckle. "Absolutely it would," he giggled. "I can possibly admit something to you, not Luther, no way." The guy was his friend, which meant no way would Sage admit something unless it was actually a life of death situation. After a bit, Sage got up with a grunt ans slid into the chair next to Anya. "Scootch," he giggled. "I want in."

Anya gave a slight smile before it turned into a bit of a pout. "That's no way to talk to your... me," she giggled before shuffling over and giving him space to cuddle in. She didn't think that he'd ever actually been the one to come over for a cuddle, so she was more than welcoming it. She pressed a soft kiss to his lips, much like the first one in the cave before resting the bridge of her nose in the crook of his neck, welcoming the extra warmth he brought over. "What time are you planning on leaving?" She hummed softly into his skin. She was hoping they have a little while longer, even if it was just chilling out with him, taking in his scent and warmth, she'd be alright with that... though, she'd be more than alright with that too.

Sage chuckled slightly and rested his head on hers, breathing in her sweet scent and closing his eyes briefly. He wished the moments like this could last forever .... This right here was what he liked most of everything they'd ever do, most likely. Just..being here with eachother. "I don't know. After dark at least....that way there's less chance of people seeing me come from the castle." Besides, he wanted the time with Anya...they had a few hours until dark, and he wanted to be here with her until that time. He wanted to get back out there, he did, but he was also a bit nervous...he knew he could very well be killed off and never make it back. But no, that was no way to think. Not now. And he couldn't act worried or Anya would never let him back out there. The thought was amusing...Anya as the mother bird....but no, he'd be back, and he'd be fine. He'd have information that would help her, too, no doubt. It was the best thing to do. But....he didn't want to leave the spot they were at...wrapped up with eachother happily.

Anya nodded slightly, a small hum rattling her throat as she thought. She knew Sage was clever enough to outwit everyone else in the slums, but they were all fired up at the moment, with talks of a rebellion and the castle. It might be a little trickier than before, but she was sure Sage would have it handled, and who was she to lecture him on what to look out for? Telling him about the castle was one thing, but about the slums was a whole other thing. Something she was sure Sage would be very aware of. She didn't need to mother him. She just needed to be there with him. So she slipped a hand around his shoulders in a kind of side hug, while the other was placed gently where his neck joined to his jaw, her thumb running back and fourth in a soothing manner. "I know it's only going to be a couple of days, but I'll miss you, you know. You and your silly little adventures." She noted with a small chuckle.

Sage smiled gently and leaned into her, a kind of content sigh coming from his mouth. "I'll miss you too," he murmured. "But I'll be back." It was to convince himself he's survive the next few days too, not just to calm Anyas nerves. He wasn't necessarily afraid of getting killed, he was used to that...he was afraid of leaving Anya here when she probably needed him most, with the rebellion and everything else going on. Leaving her here defenseless....that scared his to death. He knew what would happen if the rebellion caved the crown, got into the castle....and none of it would be good. But he shoved those thoughts away....he wanted to enjoy tonight before he left...to just relax and be with Anya, enjoy her touch, her scent, everything about her.

Anya smiled and have him a slow nod. "I know, I know... You'll be fine." That was kind of self reassurance. She had kind of gotten used to Sage being there. Passing in the halls, watching him and Luther run around in fits of giggles and what nots. It was nice, but she knew he'd have to leave at some point, so it'd be a decent idea to get used to him not being there anymore. She knew he wasn't particularly comfortable in the castle, and it wouldn't be fair to make him stay. These next couple of days would just be her readjusting. She did wonder if she'd ever actually seen him without his guard up, just being chilled out. With her, when they were like this she assumed he was. A lot of the time she couldn't see him when they were curled up like his, but he seemed relaxed. She kind of sighed and let go, flopping back on the couch, staring up at the ceiling with that thought. She didn't really know if he would ever be completely relaxed. Maybe his time in the village would have made that impossible... which she supposed seemed plausible.

Sage chuckled slightly and flopped back next to her, hands clasped over his stomach and his shoulders pressed up against Anyas. They didn't need to talk if she didn't want to, he knew that. The silence was still enjoyable....he was still curled up near Anya, in a nice cozy room with a pretty peaceful scene. He let his eyes close...if he was leaving at night he should at least rest a bit before then. And this was definitely the place and time to do it....curled up in front of the fire with Anya. Staying with her until he left was definitely something he wanted to do. He didn't really want to sleep...he'd miss being conscious and with her....but closing his eyes and resting, relaxing a bit....that was probably a pretty good idea.

Anya tilted her head slightly to look over his features... he'd definitely filled out a fair amount since they'd gotten out the cell... and it hadn't been all that long, really. It was a good thing. He looked a lot healthier, a lot stronger than before. Like he wasn't just going to fade away at any given moment. She shuffled around a little, trying to get comfy in the new position, they were pretty squashed, shoulder to shoulder. The girl pouted before a small smirk crossed her face. "Hey, you're not tired, are you?" She hummed in a teasing voice. She knew he would need to chill out for a whole before he went out, so that he'd be ready to react or whatever, but they had a few hours... there was no reason they couldn't joke a little bit.

Sage opened his eyes to look over at the girl with his usual crooked grin. "Nope," he chirped good naturedly. "It's just nice and quiet in here," he giggled. Then he gave her a wide smirk. 'besides, how could I fall asleep while I'm talking to my pretty princess," he teased, going back to the pretty princess nickname he'd said before while they were screwing around in her bedroom the few days before... Christmas night, was it? It seemed forever ago, but in reality it had been less than a week. It seemed crazy how long he'd known the girl....it had been over a year now...crazy to him. Crazy that he'd survived another year out there. He could tell she wanted to joke around, now, though, so he could oblige ...and he was more than happy to tease the girl.

Anya cackled a little at his pretty princess joke before rolling her eyes. "Don't you dare use my title like that." She huffed jokingly. She didn't mind... not really. Actually, she rather liked it. She gave him a sinister grin before wriggling around again. She huffed a little before looking over at him with mellowed down puppy dog eyes. "There's really not enough room up here for the two of us," she complained before gently placing a hand on his shoulder, her smile turning a little sweeter before shoving him off the couch. Obviously, it was only teasingly, and she'd given him plenty a warning before hand. The girl then stretched and sprawled out a little more before looking back down at him. "See isn't that better?" She asked jokingly.
