Anya gave a bit of a smile at his little kiss before gently running her fingers through his hair. She knew he worried... but she did wish he wouldn't. Things in the castle, they were good. All they had to worry about was people who shouldn't be in the castle getting in. But, she supposed it'd been drilled into the boy to be worried about things... living in the slums would do that to you. "I know, but you need to know everything up here is all good, yeah?" She asked lightly before wrapping her arms around his shoulders and placing a light kiss to the top of his head. "It's meant to feel nice not having a bunch to do," the girl chuckled softly before shifting slightly so that her head was resting on a pillow again.

Sage chuckled and nodded. "I know, but it just takes some getting used to, I guess." He'd calmed down a bit...he wasn't jumping out of his skin any time he passed someone in the hallways, or saw someone else walking in the gardens. Which, as long as he was still able to react just as quickly as he used to once he got out onto the streets again, was actually pretty nice. Not always having to be tense and on edge was helpful. But he still felt like he should be doing something. Sitting around rather than working just wasn't what he was used to...and while he still occasionally trained with the guards or checked in on their progress so he knew chances of them surviving another battle, he was really only caring for Att, and the lad slept all day. He lay around for a few more minutes before he sighed and sat up, groaning "I should probably go now," slightly regretfully before planting a kiss to the tip of the girls nose and sliding off the bed. Really, he'd been in the girl's room much too long, and someone was bound to notice eventually. He wasn't too worried about that though.

Anya gave a slight nod before placing another light kiss to his cheek. He did have a point, she supposed. After coming from such a... chaotic life out in the villages, and coming back into the castle, she supposed everything could be a bit underwhelming. "I suppose if you really wanted to I could ask around and see if there were any job opening for you..." she glanced away for a moment before pursing her lips in thought. It might be a good idea... he'd have something to do and he might be able to cop some money out of it for when he went back out into the village. When he placed a kiss to her nose she felt a stupid grin fall onto her face along with a small blush - though that was probably mainly because of her fever. "Yeah, you probably should," she agreed lightly before giving a bit of a sigh and sprawling out on the bed with a jokey chuckle. "Now I get the bed to myself," she hummed lightly before shaking her head.

Sage chuckled and nodded. "I already helped the doctor out for a while while you were asleep," he admitted, rather amused by it. Then he stuck his tongue out at the girl in response to her other comment. "You asked me to stay with you," he giggled, before opening the door and calling "I'll see you later, Anya," to the girl before closing the door and turning to walk back to his own room. (We could have Luther be coming to visit Anya and as Sage turns around Luther is there and that's how the topic of sage and anya comes up if you wanted.)

(Omg, yeah! Sorry I completely forgot about that bit lol. We can totally do that.) Anya gave a bit of a groan in defeat at his little comment before sticking her tongue out in retort to his before shaking her head with an amused chuckle. She raised her hand in a slight wave to the boy before getting comfortable under the blankets again. She did wonder if Luther would be coming along... well, while you couldn't exactly call them best friends, he'd come to make sure she was alright whenever she was ill since they were little... it would be a abnormal if he didn't. If she was right, the boy would probably be on his way over with a tray of all her favourite snacks and drinks... and while it wasn't exactly a healthy breakfast, but it definitely wouldn't be turned away.

(all good lol! I haven't found a good time to have them argue yet I til now anyway haha) Sage chuckled slightly as he slid out of the girl's room, a dumb grin on his face as a result of the little playful argument they'd just had. He'd actually won for once, and he'd count it, even if the girl was sick. But whatever, a win was a win. Not that he minded the girl beating him at those, especially since she normally won by getting him flustered, which usually came about by something she did...which he, admittedly, liked. Either way, as he slid off to go wander back to his own room and make sure Att hadn't destroyed the place, he found himself chuckling quietly to himself.

Luther, just as the girl had suspected, was wandering down the halls with a large tray in his hands... it had plates of fruits and toasts and about three different drinks on there, along with a bunch of other little snacky bits for the girl to chew on during the day. Though, when he turned the corner, he heard the slight squeak from the door closing before the sight of Sage walking away... there was a small chuckle coming from him, too. Luther raised a slight brow before pausing outside the door... though, he had the slight feeling not wander right in. "Good morning," he called down the hall... though, his voice wasn't exactly as upbeat as it normally would be. Maybe, he was a little curious as to what was going on.

Sage halted when he heard Luther's voice and turned to face the boy with a grin. "Hey," he called back. "You're just in time, she just woke up and is probably feeling well enough to eat." He shrugged slightly and then added, "I stopped in to check on her a while back and she was out cold, but said she felt better after sleeping. The doctor says it's probably just a cold," he informed the boy quickly, starting to walk backwards to get to Att. The boy sounded curious, but he decided that if he got overly defensive, the boy would have guessed he was doing something he shouldn't have been doing. But he did have to get to Att...the boy could take it as he was trying to make an excuse to leave, but Luther didn't seem like the type to jump to conclusions.

Luther cocked his head slightly before looking up to one of the corners in the hallways where a clock was ticking away. It was still relatively early, he'd say... and he didn't think he'd seen Sage walking around without looking like a zombie before at least eight in the morning. He only looked more curious when the boy turned quickly to walk off. Though, he couldn't follow up for the moment. Not while he had a tray of food in his hands. He wrinkled his nose slightly before shaking his head a bit and turning to Anyas door before wandering in. He was met with a chirpy, "back already?" From the girl before she realised it was Luther and pouted slightly. "Why do you look so disappointed?" The boy hummed with a chuckle, though, he was a little taken aback by the girls over enthusiastic tone. Anya just shrugged in reply before cocking her head. "I thought you were Sage," she admitted before sitting up and giving a thankful smile when the boy placed the tray on her lap. Luther raised a brow and gave a small chuckle before shaking his head. "Hmm. Was he here for long?" He asked lightly before perching on the end of the bed. Anya just have a bit of a shrug and a small nod. "A bit," she hummed vaguely. Luther pursed his lips slightly before giving a bit of a nod. He had no reason to be so curious... he knew the two of them spent a lot of time with each other.

Sage started jogging once he got around the corner...he didn't want to seem like he was rushing away from Luther, but Att was probably screaming his head off by then, and he really needed to get back to him as quickly as possible. By the time he got to his own hallway, he was practically sprinting along, and only went faster when he heard Att crying. It wasnt super loud...and it didn't seem like the boy had been crying long, but he still hated to hear it. He burst through the door, not looking to see whether the door closed all the way or not as he ran over to scoop up the baby, who let out an indignant wail when he saw sage, as if asking what took him so long. "I know, I know. I'm getting your food," he murmured, desperately trying to calm the boy down as he got the bottle ready. Att calmed down a bit, though he was whimpering up until he'd latched onto the bottle for a bit and had had some of it...enough to not be so hungry, he supposed. He hugged out a breath and collapsed into the couch to finish feeding the baby.
