Elara smiled softly, looking voer at him. "Yeah, we will." She agreed, noting as Varys settled next to her. |

Sage settled down with Liz on his lap, nodding in agreement to Elaras comment. They would make this work. They'd have a good life here. He just hoped it would stay that way, and that they could get rid of the whole amy situation. |

Elara let out a soft sigh, her features softened in the golden hour lighting. It shined on her skin, casting soft shadows in numerous areas. Making her cheek bones look more pronounced, the hollow at the base of her neck deeper beneath the jade amulet she always wore. |

Sage found himself watching the girl, gaze fixing on her face. He wasn't sure why, but a sort of warmth bloomed on his chest....one that seemed to be coming more often. It was odd, but not entirely unwelcome, he didn't think. Of course, he knew nothing would come out of it. Nothing could come out of it. He was there to make sure she stayed alive....this life benefited both of them. But anything more was out of the question. She was still royalty. She wouldn't want a relationship with someone like him. Even this balance they had here.....it was friendly, yes, but he didn't doubt she would turn on him if it benefited her more to do so. |

The sun slowly sank and Elara slowly found herself drifting off, sleep slowly claiming her as her vision darkened, her head lolling slightly to the side until it finally... rested on Sage's shoulder. She still looked at peace, her sleep deep and refreshing as tiredness had been creeping up on her lately. |

Sage was sort of surprised when he leaned against him, then chuckled softly when he realized she'd fallen asleep. He shifted slowly to set Liz down safely, then moved to pick elara up and carry her inside, settling her in the bed gently so as not to wake her before getting Liz and tucking her in as well before settling down himself on his normal cpot on the chair. |

Elara awoke the next morning, somewhat confused to how she'd gotten inside. She looked around before her eyes eventually landed on Sage, figuring he must've brought her in. Her cheeks tinted pink out of embarrasment, her gaze flicking back away. How had she'd fallen asleep? She wasn't even tired--okay maybe she was, a little. The woman stood, careful not to wake Liz who was babbling in her sleep. Elara smiled at the girl, seeing how at ease she was. She stood, undoing her braid and combing her fingers through her hair until it was mostly knot free before braiding it once more. |

Sage didn't move even when elara woke up. Normally he would have....he slept light. It kept them alive so far. But he supposed he trusted elara, even if it was just because they needed each other to survive out here,and despite the few small looming threats, they were safe here. So he could slip into a deeper sleep. Sleep in a bit. That was ok. |

Elara observed Sage, seeing how at ease he looked. If only he could do so most times and not look so... she didn't know how to explain it. After finishing braiding her hair, she made her way outside, grabbing her bow and quivel before making her way to go hunt some breakfast. Elara took down a decent sized fox, big enough for all three of them to eat. Trekking her way back was easy enough, though her nerves were high as she went to check they were still safe. Yep, still were. The woman started a fire and skinned the fox, roasting it over the orange flames. |

Sage woke a while later, when he smelled breakfast. He sort of peered around groggily, not entirely sure why he'd slept so late. He did feel rested, and sort of moved to get up with a groan wandering outside as he took his hair out of its normal bun, raking his fingers through it and over his face in an attempt to wake up a bit more. He normally didn't leave his hair down, but it needed a good comb through, so he'd need it down anyway. Besides, his head hurt a little bit as he was just waking up. |
