After both babies were fed, Quinn was relieved Sage was still asleep. After the infants were asleep again, she quietly stood, brushing her black wavy hair back away from her face and starting to pick up things. She couldn't sit still for long, especially when no one was awake and she couldn't talk. She rearranged the room as quietly as possible, only stopping when she heard a mumble from Sage- he was awake. Good, now she didn't have to set down the heavy stuff like she was pretending it wasn't heavy. "Good morning. How are you feeling? Any better? If the poppyseeds wore off, I can get more- I gathered more specifically for you." She smiled with the small, light joke, setting the cloth wrapped meat down she had been carrying and walking over to him to sit down for a couple seconds. "I think the farmer has cows- even a single cow could feed us both for a whole week. We'd be really lucky if they were all still alive. Usually when someone has a cow, they have more than one, so I assume he'd have multiple..." she mused, thinking before brightening again. "In any case, the guy actually has a pump with clean water. It'll he really helpful not having to boil water every time we need it." She chirped cheerfully, her emerald green eyes glinting in the sun as she glanced at him.

Sage had grinned over at the girl when she turned to greet him, unable to keep the pure happiness that seemed to well out of his chest when he noted her bright eyes. He hadn't seen that look in a while, and it was certainly nice to see now. So much so that he was just thinking about how pretty she was and how much he just wanted to scoop her up in his arms and kiss her and never stop. Of course, he then chided himself for it and forced himself to blink, but by then he'd only heard the last little bit of what she was saying. "What," he asked before grunting, now having figured out what she'd said. 'That's good," he chirped, nodding. "I'm sure between the farms around here we could gatehr up some animals to bring home," he added with a shrug. "Especially since hunting can't always be trusted." Once he was better, he could build a pen and maybe even a sort of abrn to keep them warm in the winter. His mind wandered back to the girl by then though, and eventually he let out a huff of air and used his finger to loop around her shirt collar, tugging her down gently to he could press a lingering, but heasitant, kiss to her lips, hoping she hadn't wanted to wait or anything. "I had to get that done," he noted with a sheepish chuckle. "I've missed you," he added softly, meaning he missed her in more than one way. What kind of couple had only gotten intimate once? But what if she didn't want it? What if she had and then had stopped hoping for it? It was a lot, and confusing, but...it had felt good to kiss her on his end. Hopefully, he hadn't crossed a line.

Quinn stared at him for a moment, waiting for a response before realizing he was kind of.. frozen in time. What was he thinking about now, how far he could run with a bunch of buckshot in his leg? When he did blink, she was sliiightly relieved he hadn't gotten frozen in time. She lifted her eyebrows as he seemed utterly confused at what she said. "Get lost there for a minute?" She asked jokingly, then continued. "What were you thinking about?" She inquired, then nodded at his words. "Once you can walk. I'm not letting you move for the next week, understand? If it heals properly, it'll be much faster than having to patch you up over and over just to have you have a limp for the rest of your life." She snorted, stretching her arms out before settling down slightly, glancing at the kids with a smile before turning her gaze back to Sage when she felt a tug at her shirt. She was slightly surprised at first, but practically melted into the kiss afterward, her eyes fluttering closed for a moment. After he pulled away, she smiled slightly, practically glowing. "I'm glad you did... I missed you too. A lot." She answered quietly, then paused. "And you are officially on bed rest for the next week so if you even dare move without help I will hurt you myself." She added, making a specific point. She let it sink in for a second, then pressed another kiss to his lips before standing to grab a canteen of water, then sitting back down.

Sage had chuckled lightly in response to her comments. "I was thinking about you," he huffed, though that seemed pretty obvious by now. He gave her a grin when she looked so happy when she pulled away, pulling his hand from the side of her face to salute her when she warned him he was on bedrest. "Yes, maam," he chirped. Then a mischevious grin lit his face. "Besides, I doubt I could give you what you want in bed as of right now," he noted. "I'm saving that for later," he added with a wink, really just teasing the girl. But also sort of feeling her out. Did she want more of that sort of thing? He certainly wouldn't mind it. But if she didn't he obviously wasn't going to try anything. He hummed happily when she kissed him again, leaning against her once she came back with the water happily. It was just so, so nice to know she didn't completely hate him after he'd yelled at her. That she wasn't upset...that she knew he'd never hurt her or the kids at all.

Quinn grinned. "Aww, I probably could've guessed that." She chuckled, letting out a small laugh at his salute. "I'm glad you understand." She nodded curtly, glad that he would hopefully abide by her wish. If he did do too much, it could seriously injure him. However, his next words brought a grin to her face, paired with a snort. "I'm just glad you're alive." She stated evenly, smiling softly. Though, a couple seconds later, she couldn't hold back a remark. "You'd better not save it for too long, or I'll get bored." She lilted lightly, glad to sit next to him for a while. It was always easier for her to sit still when she had someone to talk to, and to be near. She leaned her head on his shoulder with a sigh, smiling slightly. "I'm so glad I found you." She murmured lightly, turning her head to gently peck him on the cheek. "I love you." Quinn purred lightly.

Sage had nodded lightly in response to her comment about having guessed what he'd been thinking about. "I figured you'd know by now," he noted with a chuckle. "Though you know you can pop into my mind at any point and figure that out of yourself," he added. Though, at her next couple comments he had rolled his eyes, her tease bringing a light blush to his face, though he grinned easily over at her. "I doubt I could wait too long once you let me out if bed," he noted lightly. He'd leaned into her when she rested her head on his shoulder, closing his eyes and just resting there. "Me too," he mumured, then frowned as he had a thought. "I gotta pee now though," he huffed, eyeing the doorway, which was across the barn. He did wonder how that was supposed to work.

Quinn paused for a moment, thinking, and trying to find the exact words she wanted to say. She had to do that far too much. "I don't like to invade your thoughts, but I would feel better about it if you actually knew how to put some of them in... boxes." She grinned. "Your mind is rather chaotic and overwhelming. It's hard to focus on what you're actually thinking." She elaborated, then paused again. "If you want, I could explain the easiest way to store stuff away." She added, then, educational talk over, smirked at the slight blush on his cheeks. For some reason, she always felt rather victorious when she managed to make him blush. Then again, it wasn't too terribly hard. "I seem to remember our anniversary is over a week from now.." she mused, letting him decipher what the easy hint meant, then glanced at him, her eyebrows lifting slightly. "Way to ruin the moment." Quinn joked, though she was a little concerned about the whole he was shot way too many times thing and he couldn't walk thing and he was probably in constant pain thing. "I can help you over there."

Sage had cocked his head when she mentioned training his mind, if that's what you could call it. "really," he mused. Then he snorted. "Quinn, you literally fucked me I think my mind isn't any more private than that," he pointed out. "But it might be a good idea to try," he chirped, more than willing to do it. Especially if it meant something to do while sitting in bed all week. At her comment about thair anniversary though, he gave her a grin. "Really," he mused, cockign his head slightly. "I suppose I'll have to spoil you then," he hummed before chuckling at her half complaint. "Good, because I doubt you'd want me going in a stall," he half joked. They made it out and back eventually, though, and he collapsed back onto the cot with a wicne and a grunt, sweat beading his forehead. "thanks," he mused though, already half fallign asleep again

Quinn was already thinking of ways to best explain how to do that, as she thought it'd be rather helpful. At his words, she made a face, casting a glare at him. "Well I KNOW that, it was more of a suggestion for my own sanity." She grumbled, then nodded. "It would be, and I only brought it up because again, your brain is chaotic. All minds are, but yours... overly so. Because of that, it can give me headaches just to try to sort through the messes and find the thought you actually want me to see. That's the point. Not your precious privacy." She snorted, cocking her head as she noticed the slightest bit of movement from the babies. Not Frynn, she was still asleep, but Caspian. Reaching his little hand towards the ceiling. "I swear, I don't know where he got whatever patience he has." She smiled fondly before turning back to Sage, as she deemed the infant would be okay until they got back. When they did, she stood to grab the little ones, then returned to the cot, as she didn't really want to leave Sage's side. Plus, she hoped it'd make him fall asleep quicker- he needed it, and she had a feeling he was the type of person to try not to sleep even when they needed to.
