Anya nodded quietly, glancing at the ground for a moment. "So it is you who keeps on steeling my child," she half chuckled quietly. If he was asleep, then she didn't want to wake him... but she had to admit she was a bit disappointed she hadn't really spoken to the boy that day. Well, at least he'd had fun, that was more important she supposed. "We don't need to go if you don't want to. I just thought Att would like it, but if he's asleep then we best not wake him or he'll get all grumpy," she informed him with slight laugh, thinking about how... angry the child got when you tried to wake him up.

Sage chuckled and grinned sheepishly. "Actually, it's more like he stole me," he chuckled. "He managed to find my little spot in the garden and come back every day after that," he hummed, not minding the boy being there at all. "I draw, and occasionally correct him on sword fighting stuff, and he runs around. It's pretty nice." He glanced at the clock and shrugged. "He'll be awake soon, probably. He's been asleep for a while."

Anya gave a slow nod to the boy, a smile lingering on her face as she thought about how happy the child would have been to have Sages little pointers. For some reason, the child seemed to idolise Sage. Maybe that was down to the stories he was told, or maybe meeting the other boy had done it... but she didn't really care. The boy was happy, and so was Sage. It was nice to see. "You still draw a lot?" She asked with a cocked head. She'd seen some of the drawing scattered around... but they weren't particularly comforting to look at, so she didn't try awfully hard to really pay attention to them.

Sage nodded and shrugged. "I guess so. It's a nice way to pass the time. And, well, it's peaceful out there." He chuckled slightly and shook his head. "Atts fun to draw," he hummed. "It's nice to draw something not entirely depressing sometimes, and he's always so happy." He sighed slightly. "And it helps get things out of my head, if I need it," he admitted. The drawing was really just a coping mechanism, but of course it was also fun and nice to do, when he wasn't freaking out over something.

Anya cocked her head slightly, though there was a small smile across her face. "Have you shown the drawings to Att? I'd bet he'd be over the moon with them," she murmured thoughtfully before giving a quiet chuckle, "He's idolised you for some reason," she noted with an amused giggle. She still wasn't too into the idea of Sage spending a lot of time with the boy... but if Att kept on going back to him then there wasn't too much she could do about it... and Sage seemed a little better now, anyway. "He's never known anything bad... he doesn't deal with as much as the rest of the younger kids up here. And anything that does go wrong he manages to turn it around and make it all good again," she smiled slightly at the thought before sighing slightly and standing up. "I suppose I'll leave you be," she murmured before flashing him a grin. "Rest. Rest it good, and I don't need to tell you to eat again," she noted with a slightly amused chuckle before giving him a bit of a wave and slipping out of his little curtain room.

Sage chuckled and shook his head. "As far as he's concerned I'm just doing homework. Trying to get him to want to go to that little class of his." So far, it had seemed to be working, too. The boy was much more enthusiastic about it by now. He smiled softly and nodded. "He always was the most positive person I've ever met," he hummed. He nodded and rolled his eyes, though with a grin. "Yeah, yeah, don't worry, I won't starve overnight," he chuckled. "You go see your boy, he should be up by now."

Anya made her way towards hers and Luther's room... Sage had

mentioned that they'd be there, and he was right. When she walked in, Luther was writing at a small desk int he corner and Att had sprawled across the bed in his sleep. She smiled lightly before glancing over to Luther. "Did you know Att was sneaking off to see Sage? Apparently he's been teaching Att to use a sword," she hummed in a slightly amused tone. Luther glanced over his shoulder with a grin. "Att did mention something along those lines," he told her as he glanced to the bed, where the child had started to stretch before rubbing his eyes. "Good nap?" Anya asked the child with a grin before offering her hands to the boy. He nodded quietly before flopping forwards so that he was resting his head tiredly against her side. The girl could only chuckle before patting his side. "Wanna go see the shires out back?" She asked with a cock head. He nodded,though, the boy seemed half asleep. Once he was a little more lively, they made their way down to the back yards, where the heavier horses resisted.

Sage chuckled slightly as Anya left the room, before laying back down on the bed with a sigh. He was glad about how things had gone...and admittedly, it had felt good to get that off his chest. He loved Anya, but that didn't mean he couldn't love her as a sister or as a best friend, he supposed. Well, either way, he was really too tired to think about that very much right about then. He rolled into his good side and closed his eyes wearily, passing out as soon as he closed his eyes.

Anya and Att wandered down the the back yards happily... admittedly, the girl did hold a special place in her heart for the slightly heavier horses. Their Shires and Clydesdales especially. Well, that was mainly because she'd gotten to name them. There were eight of them, each named after the months and seasons of the year. August, Summer, April, May, June, Autumn, July, and a very handsome blue roan gelding that she'd called Winter. There were probably better themes than that, but that was what she'd gone with. The heavier horses we're normally just used for parades and alike, but they were looked after rather well compared to the other horses. Once they'd had enough, they made their way back towards Atts room, where she got him comfortable and read him a story before heading back to her own room to get comfortable.
(I was thinking, we could maybe have a second kidnapping attempt on Anya, but Sage notices and intervines? This could end up with him being dragged along too. Rather than having them stuck for ages, we could have them escape after a day or two while being transported to wherever they're going. This could lead to a bit more of an adventure, say trying to get back to the castle? Idk could be fun. Let me know what you think!)

(that would definitely be interesting! We could do something where theu are attacked and they want the future king and queen but sage tells them he's luther to protect him and they both get kidnapped. We could always have it be a rival kingdom or something that's partnered with the rebellion)

Sage slept for a while, and when he woke up, he noticed that the doctor had refilled the plate with some fresh food. He sighed and grabbed a few crackers, nibbling on them for a while before deciding to go wander around. He was a bit bored, and he didn't really have anything else to do. Plus, it was nicer outside, and he felt better under the warm sun with the wind on his face than cooped up inside the ward. His room was cozy, but he still just like the outdoors better.
