Sage opened his eyes when he heard the girl stand up, though when he saw she was changing he closed his eyes again and laced his fingers together behind his head. Quinn would come back on e she was changed....she wouldn't just up and leave him like that without a word. So, he was content to lay there for a bit in the sun. He really wanted to get his boxers dry before he put his pants and shirt back on...if they weren't dry, he'd just get his other clothes wet. He did have a feeling it would take a while, but hopefully they'd be dry before night, since it would get cold. He didn't want to get blankets wet either.

Quinn came back. "There is the most beautiful view on the hill over there. Follow me!" She told Sage, walking back through the trees and up the hill. The sun shone brightly onto the big hill, warming the green grass. Trees spread out below them in a green canopy, birds flying overhead. Mountains were outlined in the distance, giant blue statues of rock and stone. Quinn sat on top of the hill, smiling and looking out at the magnificent sight. "Isn't it beautiful...." she whispered

Sage glanced over at the girl and opened his eyes when she reappeared, and got up with a grunt and a nod in response to her comment. He couldn't see too much clearly, but what he could see and smell and hear and feel....was just as pretty as Quinn said it was. He lifted his nose, sniffing the warm air and hummed lightly. "This is why nature is better than the castle," he hummed lightly. He felt his hand brush Quinn's, and after a moment he laced his fingers with hers heasitantly.

Quinn took Sage's hand and half tugged... half waited. She started walking up the hill. "I know you can't see the best... but it's very colorful. And the top of the hill Is warm." Quinn murmured, stopping at the top of the hill. The green trees, light blue and light orange sky, dark orange and red sun, and dark blue mountains all made a beautiful landscape. Quinn sat down, tucking her knees against her chest and resting her chin on them

Sage hummed lightly with a nod and allowed the girl to tow him up the hill. He went carefully, since he had a tendency to trip over tiny things he couldn't see. But they finally got to the top of the hill. Sage could feel the sun, and it was warm. There was a tug on his hand when the girl sat down, so he felt around and then sat down carefully next to her, keeping her hand in his.

Quinn sighed. She felt... content. She was in nature... with her horse... on a warm hill... with a beautiful view... with Sage. Birds twittered and tweeted, flying around in the sky. Some geese flew past, honking. Quinn couldn't really wish for more... then she remembered she still had to think of something to do to Sage. She looked up towards the sky, thinking... hard...

Sage was more than content to lay there with the girl. He closed his eyes, since he couldn't see much anyway, but he could still hear everything around him, and could feel the sun and the warm, soft grass under him. And, of course, the girl next to him. That was pretty great too.

Quinn rolled slightly, looking at Sage. He looked... happy. That was good. What could she possibly do to 'fulfill his wish'? Oh no, there Quinn's brain goes again. She shook her head with a sigh. Quinn placed a hand on Sage's shoulder. "You are giving me brain cramps... I am failing miserably to think up anything about your 'instructions' earlier." Quinn joked. She stared up at the sky, listening to hear how Sage responded. It could be important...

Sage snorted out a laugh at the girl's comment before shrugging. "Then keep thinking," he hummed. "Or ask your horse." Then he wrinkled his nose. "Or maybe not....she'd probably tease you about something you wouldn't want to do," he noted with amusement. She'd know what he meant...the mare had teased them about it before. "you're smart, you'll think of something," he chirped. He wasn't going to give her ideas...he wanted her to come up with it.

Quinn groaned. "Okay fine. I'll keep thinking." She laid back and stared very, very hard up at the sky. Quinn's eyes had the faraway look in them they always had when she was thinking about something difficult. She knew asking Sahara would be a terrible idea... but she was going to do it anyway. "Excuse me for a moment." Quinn said quietly, standing and striding back down the hill. She walked over to where Sahara was, sighing heavily. "Yes... I admit it. I need your help. Please, please try to think of Something... not bad?" She asked Sahara pleadingly. Her horse tipped her head. Finally Sahara told something to Quinn. Quinn couldn't really believe what the horse said... but decided to try it. Quinn found some leftover meat from the boar and heated it up. (Don't ask how lol) She brought it to Sage. "Here... have some boar." Quinn said quietly. It was about supper time again... she was sure he would be a little hungry.
