Sage felt a soft smile flicker onto his face when he felt her fingers brush against his hand slightly, and he curled his fingers around hers slightly, just appreciating the comfort she brought with her. It was odd how just being around her made him feel so much safer, even when she was simply asleep next to him. But he'd deiced that he liked this much more than his previous life. There were things he'd miss of course...but they still had the sea, and the boats, and the wildness and uncertainty that came with living off the land. Not quite knowing what was next.

When Jora seemed to drift off again next to him, he opened his eyes, jusst...watching her. It almost seemed like a dream, seeing here there, resting peacefully, emmersed in the sun's glow. He made a mental note of the image, wanting to draw or paint it later, hoping he could do it justice....it certainly was a mesmerizing sight. She really was the most beautiful woman he'd ever laid eyes on. He moved to brush a strand of hair out of her face gently, just watching her for a while before her steady breathing pulled him into a light sleep again.

Sage smiled when he noticed her slight smile as he brushed her hair away, glad he made her feel happy, even in the small things. It was good to know she appreciated him even in times like now, when life was pretty much perfect.

He settled down again soon enough, drifting back off to sleep. By the time he woke up again, it was nearing noon though, and he had to admit he was slightly hungry. He sort of shifted around for a bit, trying to settle back down but eventually he was hungry enough he slid out of bed with a sigh, wandering over to the kitchen and grabbing an apple before moving to flop back down in the bed.

(Short I gotta run)

Sage hummed lightly in response to her comment, giving her a still somewhat groggy grin. "I got hungry," he noted lightly, sort of leaning against the headboard and settling in next to her. The sound of her voice, crackly with sleep, sent a sort of spark jumping around in his chest.

He nibbled at the Apple as he sat there, squeezing her hand when she moved to grab it, nodding lightly with a sort of hum. "I was out pretty quickly," he noted with amusement, lips tugging upwards in a sort of sleepy smile.

He was coming more awake with food, though he still didn't want to do much anyway. It was a lazy day....maybe they'd walk a round the island a little bit, explore some stuff. But mostly just have fun. That sounded really, really nice.

Sage rolled his eyes in response to her comment, glancing over at the clock. "It's lunch time, that's not weird," he protested with a laugh, shaking his head slightly. He was finished with the apple by then though, so he tossed the core in the garbage can next to the table next to the bed, scooting back down into the covers with Jora, retangling their legs together.

"I can't remember the last time I've gotten to sleep in, let alone do nothing all day," he mused lightly. "I must say the idea is quite tempting," he added with a chuckle. "What, exactly, does your lazy day include," he asked lightly, tone slightly teasing. He was mostly just messing around, but she could take it how she wanted. He didn't mind either way. And if he got a kiss or something out of it, that would be great too....though he'd enver admit that to anyone.

Sage chuckled softly in response to her comments, just glad to see her so relaxed. Happy. It wasnt soemthing they'd really gotten to see in each other too often before - but now they could. They could just lay around and do nothing, be able to relax and tease each other without having to worry about....anything. It was certainly nice to just nestle in, her touch light on his skin and her body warm and comfortable against his.

Of course, when she mentioned adding things on, and then mentioned a kiss or two, his eyebrows raised slightly and he gave her a grin. "I see I wasn't the only one who woke up hungry," he teased her, but leaned forward to press a lignering kiss to her lips anyway, flopping his head back down after, though leaving it close to her.

Jora's eyes sparkled with amusement at Sage's playful comment, her lips curving into a mischievous smile. "Something like that," she purred, her fingers trailing teasing patterns over his chest as she leaned in to capture his mouth once more. The kiss was slow and sensual, their tongues dancing together in a languid tango.Breaking away after a moment, Jora propped herself up on an elbow to gaze down at Sage with heated appreciation. "You know, I think you're even more delicious when you're all relaxed and sleepy-eyed," she murmured huskily, her hand drifting lower.
