Sage was more than happy to curl up and sleep all night long. He slept rather well, and deeper than normal. Probably because he was so tired. Oh well. He woke up soon enough though, and was more than content to lay there curled up with Mari in the sun. It was warm, and just...very peaceful he supposed. Her soft breaths were definitely something he could listen to while he rested. And he had to admit, this was almost nicer than sleeping late into the morning.

Mari slept peacefully, only really waking up a little when she felt Sage curling into her. She groaned in complaint, kind of moving to bury her face into his neck, though slowly opened an eye to check the time. God, it was so early... she sighed before turning her head back into him, sort of pressing her lips against his throat in a sloppy sort good morning, though was already drifting off at that point, so she kind of sat there with her lips lightly against his skin as she slipped out of consciousness again.

He chuckled lightly when he heard her groan, and tightened his hold on her when she curled up again. He hummed lightly in response to her rather sloppy kiss, and was more than happy to let her stay there. It was nice, to just hold her for a while. When she woke up, he'd rub her back as she woke up, which he figured she'd enjoy. Especially since the kids tended to take after him in terms of sleeping patterns and sleep later than most. Which was fine with him...it gave them some peaceful time in the mornings.

Mari hummed softly when she felt his grip tighten... it was nice to just be held for a while, she supposed. Of course, she loved cuddling up to him, and she melted when he rested his head on her where she could wrap her arms around his, but she had to admit it was nice to have his arms around her like this. She was hugging him, of course, but she felt a little bit... she didn't know how to put it. Not smaller, but more... frail, maybe. Like she was safe and being cared for a little bit. She didn't need to be, but it was nice, to say the least. But it was odd for him to be up so early, or awake at all... she was used to being the one up first, but it wasn't unpleasant to be there. With him.

Sage was more than happy to lay there with her for a while, and just.....rest for a while. It was nice. The sun was warm, and he was just really very happy to hold her. The kids seemed to take after him and sleep in rather than wake up early ....well, as much as kids that age slept in. But even so, this was definitely nice. He pressed a light kiss to her head, resting his face sort of near her head so he could just close his eyes and breathe in her scent. There was just something peaceful about it. Comforting.

Mari hummed softly at the moment, and kind of settled back down to sleep again. She was so comfortable... so calm, so happy, and she wasn't sure why. The kids would be up soon, so she needed to wake up a little... but she was happy for now. She murmured what had to be the third time that morning... but she was waking up a little bit more, properly now.

Sage smiled softly when he heard Maris sleepy good morning hum, for what was probably the third time that morning. It was admittedly a little bit amusing. He hummed good morning back again, letting her wake up a little bit more before moving to rub his hand along her back gently. He couldn't feel any knots or anything... But he assumed a massage would still feel good. Especially in bed like this. It was definitely nice to spoil her a little bit too, he could admit that.

Mari hummed gently to the boy after a moment or two, going to shift so that she was laying on her stomach a bit more, but still in his arms. The shirt she was wearing had rode up a little so that her back was bare... and she had to admit the way he was gently running his hand up her back was really lovely. She murmured something else to him, but soon enough went to wrap her arms around her pillow and sort of stretched as she became a little bit more aware of what was going on.

Sage chuckled lightly when she slowly shifted once she realized what exactly was happening, and he slipped his hand under her shirt once she did so, making his movements more of a massage than just the movement of comfort, a soft hum coming from his throat when she seemed to enjoy it all. He was still curled up against her, his other arm wrapped around her, but he could rub her back well enough from that position. Besides, he couldn't really use his other hand anyway, since his wrist was technically still wrapped up in a sort of brace. He'd taken it off a while ago, and tried to go without it for a while....which probably just made the whole healing process take longer. He'd put it back on after he realized he sort of actually needed it if he wanted to heal, so moving his wrist to massage her with that hand was as out of the question as actually rubbing with it was. But, he was more than happy to do what he could for now.

Mari let out a small noise when he hit a spot on her back that was a little bit sensitive, but otherwise settled down happily. He wasn't being particularly rough or anything, so it was nice... comforting, and she wasn't going to turn any of this down at all. She let out a small but delighted groan when the tenseness in their upper back melted away, and sort of turned her head into his chest with a happy smile. She wasn't super sore or anything... but it was nice to have those little bits going away, for sure. It was just nice to be able to spend some time with her husband, if she was honest.
