Sage hummed softly in response to her comment, letting out a raspy chuckle. "Like death," he mused with a twinge of amusement in his voice. "Thats good though, means its working," he added, sort of just resting his head in her lap.

Sage knew what was comming, and he didn't especially mind it. He knew how it would all go, and he had to admit he was curious as to what it was like. He smiled up at Celeste, though it was rather weak by then, attempting to keep his breathing steady so as not to scare her as it slowly faded, along with the light in his eyes.

Once Sage died, he lay there like that for a few minutes before he took a sharp breath and shifted in her lap, blinking up at her as he came to his senses a bit more. "That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be," he chirped, moving to reach up and wipe off her cheeks, offering her a tired grin. "Really, I'm alright," he promised her softly.

Sage let her cry, just holding her and doing what he could to be as comfort to her. He knew it was probably harder for her than him... And he did feel a little bad about that. "It's ok," he murmured softly to her. "I'm ok."

Sage smiled at her, though she couldn't see it, doing his best to just hold her. Comfort her. "I love you too," he hummed. "And now he can love you forever," he added lightly. Then he wrinkled his nose. "But damn, I'm hungry," he admitted with a small laugh.
