Celeste smiled, "That sounds like a good idea,"
|

Sage nodded with a smile, sort of shifting to sit up with a grunt after another few minutes. "I'll head out while the kids are still asleep," he mused. "Leaves you on your own with them awake for less time," he added lightly, moving to crawl out of bed and find clothes

Celeste nodded, smiling and giggling, watching him

Sage moved around slowly, getting dressed after a while and then moving to get ready. As he finished and moved out of the room, he pecked her on the lips lightly. "I'll be back soon," he noted.
|

|
|

|
"Love you," she smiled, pecking him back.

Sage nodded with a grin before practically flying out of the house. He loved his family, and spending time with the kids....but it had been a long time since he'd gotten out and into the woods. He'd missed it more than he'd realized.

|
The kids hadn't woken up yet, so Celeste just layed around, resting.

Sage wandered around in the woods, taking in everything he could as he moved around, taking out any small game he came across as he tried to find a bigger animal. He perked up when he caught the scent of a moose ...that would be enough meat for a while, and it took effort to take one down. He moved eagerly in that direction, clearly excited for the hunt.

Eventually, the babies woke and started crying. Celeste moved the babies downstairs and set up Lizzie with her baby food of mashed apples and avocado while she nursed two of the babies, while the other waited patiently.

Sage hid the small game he'd found by a tree he'd be able to find again, and then moved to stalk the moose. It was a large bull, and he couldn't help but explode in a wild chase. Of course, after a while the animal figured just trying to beat him up took less energy than running, so he fought with the animal for a while before finally taking it down, panting but clearly happy with himself as he drug it back to the house.
