Sage chuckled softly, wrapping his arms around her lightly and kissing her back. "I love you too," he hummed, tilting his head for her when she moved to sniff at him, letting her do whatever she needed to do to get this all done.

Sage had noted her heasitation, and did appreciate her not wanting to hurt him. This was something they both wanted though, and he didn't mind taking the hit for their family. He let out a yelp of shock when she first bit him, expecting it to hurt but still being a bit surprised. He was glad she had super strangth though, because his body jerked as the venom hit it, doing everything in it's power to escape her grasp, even though he knew she'd never truely hurt him. He sort of went limp under her once she pulled her teeth out, breathing heavily, having definitely broken a sweat. "Pain level's about the same," he managed to get out though. "This is..sharper though."

Sage offered her a smile, knowing she felt bad. "I still say it'll be all worth it in the long run," he breathed, fighting the sleep that was tugging at his eyelids, at lest for now. He just didn't want her to worry. He'd lost s decent bit of blood though, and her venom was coursing through his body by now, taking it over. He was submitting to it, letting it take him out. Transform him. "At least tell me if I tasted good," he joked softly, just trying to lighten her mood a little bit.

Sage couldn't help but chuckle in response to her comment, finding it amusing despite the venom rolling through his body, slowly taking it over. He curled up when she cuddled though, letting sleep overtake him, though it definitely wasn't a restful one.

Sage stayed in a restul sleep for most of the night, though his body woke him at some point in the morning. The pain had reached its peak, which meant he'd die soon. Hed come back, he wasn't worried about it...but he was a bit worried about how Celeste would response to watching him die.
