Sage simply pecked the girl's head in response to her comments, smiling when she seemed to appreciate the compliment, as well as the fact that he hadn't argued with her complimenting him. He stayed that way for a few more moments, just happy to have her wrapped around him like this. Her fingers running along his back was soothing, in a way. "Are we going to bathe or just sit here," he asked after a bit, really just teasing her a bit.

"There's nothing wrong with sitting here." T said defensively, her tone the slightest bit whiny. She loosened her hold on him slightly. "Unless, of course, you would prefer I didn't keep rubbing myself all over you." She shrugged, her tone mockingly nonchalant.

Sage chuckled lightly in response to her comment, rolling his eyes slightly. "Well, if you'd prefer to cuddle, wouldn't you rather be clean as well," he teased lightly. "If you're running yourself all over me I'd figure you'd want me to not be all sticky and gross," he laughed. Though, he moved to sort of link his fingers together and slide them under her behind...it was sort of an excuse to touch the girl while still supporting her a bit, he supposed. Not that she'd mind at all.

"Well, yes, but my priorities don't go in that order." T huffed dramatically, giving him what had to be her best puppy eyes. "You're not sticky and gross. You're just a little salty." She teased, grinning at him as his hands linked under her. "I don't think you want me to bathe yet. You seem to be having a grand old time just doing this." She said playfully, dipping her head to cuddle against his chest, her head beneath his chin.

Sage hummed in amusement in response to her first comment, rolling his eyes at her comment about being salty with a chuckle. "You're definitely gone crazy," he teased her lightly, though he honestly didn't mind just standing there like that for a while. Though, at her tease he snorted and gave her a grin, though she probably couldn't see it from where she was at. "I can't help it," he huffed, really just messing around but also sort of serious. "You're rubbing all against me, what do you expect me to do," he added.

"I've been crazy, dearest." T giggled, pressing soft kisses against his throat and chest, since that was where she could reach. She brought her hand up through his hair, idly massaging his head with her nails. She hummed softly as he began to speak again, enjoying the slight rumble of his voice against her lips. She smirked at his answer, shifting to cuddle her entire body against him a little more, in a teasing way. "What do you mean? Like this?" She teased, pressing her body flush to his.

Sage snorted lightly in response to her comment and nodded. "That I can believe," he mused, really just teasing her a bit. Though, he was pretty sure her teasing was significantly better than whatever he could come up with, at least for the moment, as her touch rather muddled his thoughts. He huffed out a pretend aggravated breath of air and nodded when she spoke up again. "Yes, exactly like that," he fake grumbled. "You should be thankful I don't just dunk both of us under the water," he added, a mischievous look taking over his face.

"You're not supposed to agree." T laughed out, wiggling against him in a slightly over-exagerrated way. "Oh, I'm so sorry to bother you, then. I would hate to distract from bathing." She said sarcastically, lifting her head to look him in the eye. She scoffed at him for the challenge. "I'm already wet, the only thing you'd do is surprise me." She huffed, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

Sage chuckled in response to her protest, pecking her forehead lightly. "Well, you've got to be at least a little crazy to survive a zombie apocalypse," he pointed out in a somewhat amused manner before wrinkling his nose in response to her comment. "Oh dear, distracting me? I would never think of you doing that," he teased lightly, knowing she could distract him from pretty much anything without much effort. She probably knew it too. "Right," he mused. "So you won't be upset when I do this then," he added with a sort of giggle, dropping them both under the water before hauling them both up again. Maybe it was a bit childish, but...well....he was still young. They bother were. They could fool around here and there.

"I've got more than a little crazy rattling around in my brain, so I'm set." T said playfully, tipping her head eagerly into his kiss. She snickered at his next comment, shaking her head innocently. "Oh, of course not. Never on purpose, anyway." She teased, curling her arms around him a little tighter as he started speaking. She knew where he was going before he even started speaking, slowly tightening her grip on him until she was practically clinging to him. "Sa-" She started, but her words were cut off by the adrupt drop underwater. When he brought her back up, she spat a little bit of water at him, taking a deep breath and grinning at him. "You're so predictable." She giggled, leaning into his body to kiss him.
