Sage sort of grunted when he felt her pushing him back a bit, though not for any particular reason, just sort of acknowledgedibg the touch, he supposed. He moved back until she stopped pushing, and hummed happily when she immediately went for the shirt. He chuckled slightly when she couldn't manage to do that without going back for a kiss ...not that he wouldn't have done anything different. Soon enough though the shirt was undone and he had to admit his blush had deepened quite a bit by then. Of course, that wasn't anything abnormal, they both knew that. He sort of just watched her face, taking the time she took to undo his shirt to catch his breath a bit before they continued.

Mari sort of fiddled with his shirt for a moment after, until eventually she managed to have them all undone and sort of slipped it from his shoulders with a small but gleeful grin across her face. She looked up after a moment or two, and just offered him a light smile and a sultry gaze before gently guiding him a bit closer again, and sort of pressed a few light kisses to his jaw and lips, then flopped down on the bed once more, sort of pulling him down with her before kissing him a bit deeper again.

Sage sort of shifted slightly once she slid the shirt off his shoulders so she could get it off easily, and then chuckling slightly when she gave him that look...his blush had really only deepened when he felt her gaze run over his skin, though lept back at her happily when she flopped over and tugged him closer again. He kissed her back happily, just really enjoying being with her like this. He supposed he was just more giddy than usual....after all, a few months ago, he thought he'd never be here with her ever again. It was certainly very nice to have been proven wrong.

Mari sort of smiled into the second kiss, eventually just wrapping her arms around him happily. She'd missed him in this way... she always missed him, just getting to spend time with him, and they'd been working so hard recently they never really got to. His newer scars were healing up, though, and he'd started to put more weight on after loosing it all when she'd been gone. She was proud of him, really... everything he'd achieved over these last few years. She sort of hummed into the kiss before pressing a few lighter ones to his jaw, sort of running her fingers up his sides and down his back again,.. just playing really.

Sage smiled when he felt her wrap her arms around him and leaned into her a bit more, letting out a small huff of air when she moved to press some kisses to his jaw and all....he supposed he was just so, so glad that she was back. That they could still have this sort of time together. Of course, when she was gone, thinking that he couldn't have her in this way was the least of his worries, but it had been a thought. That he'd never be able to kiss her, or her kiss him. Or hug him or comfort him when he needed her. And it was hard... But that was all over now, and she was here, and this was finally happening and he was just so overly glad about it all.

Mari started to trail her nails down his back and sort of moved down to his torso, sort of fiddling with his belt loops as she sort of pulled him in by them. She supposed it was greedy, to some extent, but she didn't seem to care all too much. She was just happy to have him near her, she supposed. To feel his warmth and the way his skin comforted her. His scent too... she just missed all of him. Soon enough, though, she'd locked lips with him again, seemingly just more than happy to have him back again.

Sage couldn't help but hum lightly when he felt her hands move down his torso...it did feel good, he supposed, especially since it had been so long. Though, he couldn't help but chuckle when he felt her already tugging at the belt loops. He complied happily, of course, letting his hips sink into hers a bit more and then moving to kiss her back when she took his face again. He eventually sort of moved to tug at the straps of her dress, loosening the top and planting kisses down her neck and along her shoulders and collar bone....really anywhere he could get skin, he supposed. He was just glad to be back here with her. To smell her and feel her and just....have some time just the two of them.

Mari sort of grinned at him after a moment or two, and sort of shifted so that he could easily move her dress from her shoulders. A heavy breath escaped her the moment felt his lips run down her neck, though, and sort of turned her head to bury it in his hair... she was still holding onto him as tightly as she could, the relishing the fact that she could still do that... she didn't care what happened that night, she really just wanted to be able to hold him the way she always had.

He chuckled slightly when he heard her breath she released, and hummed happily when she just curled in even more. She had tightened around him quite a bit by then....which was probably partly why he always came out of this sort of thing black and blue. But he admittedly liked it that way...it didn't hurt, and the marks were sort of like badges. Or signs of her love or something like that. He wasn't sure. But he did like it. He moved back to her lips after a while of playing around with her akin...he'd left his own marks this time too, which was also pretty satisfying, he supposed. After a while of that though, he flipped them over with a sort of a chuckle. "My turn," he mused happily, reaching up for another kiss.

Mari sort of felt her breaths quicken for a moment before letting out a slight squeak when she felt herself shift. She groaned a little before sort of moving to rest a hand on her neck with a small huff. She kind of gave him a playful glare and a sigh. "Hmm... that's not fair," she complained with a bit of a chuckle. Though, soon enough she moved to run her hands up his torso and to his chest before wrapping a hand around his head and leaning down to press a light kiss to his lips.
