Mari sort of slowly started to wake up when she felt him move into her, and sort of rolled onto her back so that she could wrap an arm around his side. "Hey," she whispered softly, though he seemed pretty tired now. Her mind drifted off slightly, thinking about what they'd do for their anniversary this year... they'd gotten married just after Silas was born. So it was maybe the fifth or sixth anniversary now? They'd have to do something good for it. Maybe they'd go away for a couple of days, maybe a little vacation or something.

Sage heard Maris greeting after a while, and he sort of just made a light noise in response....it was almost a hum, but not quite as loud. Or full....his voice was still crackly he supposed. But that was really the greeting he had the energy for as of right then, and he supposed that was alright with Mari. She didn't seem to mind that sort of thing very often. So, he sort of just slid down to tuck his nose into her neck with a content huff of air before sort of half drifting off again.

Mari kind of smiled when she felt Sage shift into her again, and kind of moved to press another soft kiss to his neck. "You okay?" She asked softly. It was about twelve in the morning now... she didn't know what else to think or do. Obviously, the kids hadn't woken up just yet, because they normally came storming in when they felt like it. But, whatever, they could do just what they liked for now.

Sage sort of hummed lightly in response to her kiss and nodded in response to her comment. "Just tired," he sort of mumbled after a moment before settling down again and resting his chin on top of her head lightly. It was a bit late in the morning by now....but if the kids hadn't come in to their room then they didn't need them, so he made no move to get up. If he was needed, of course he'd get up....but for now, just relaxing for a bit and cuddling with Mari was what he needed.... so that's what he was going to do. At least for now.

(Happy new year!!)

Mari smiled slightly at his comment, and kind of went to bury her nose into his chest. She hummed softly after a few minutes, though, and gave a small sigh. "What do you want to eat?" She asked him curiously, sort of sitting up again and pressing a softy but admittedly very tired kiss to his cheeks.

(happy new year!)

Sage sort of just chuckled sleepily and then hummed in thought. "I dunno," he sighed after a moment. "Something kinda sweet," he mused as a second thought, shrugging slightly and rolling over onto his back when Mari sat up, looking over at her with a sort of yawn before settling back down again.

(Short lol)

Mari smiled and pecked his nose before sort of crawling out of bed... she decided crepes might be nice, and he said that he wanted her to make them more a while back. She got some chocolate spread and things for him, too. She soon enough waddled upstairs and put the plate on the side before flopping down on top of him in a kind of playful manner. "I made breakfast," she huffed to him softly.

Sage let out a quiet groan of complaint when she moved to get out of bed, but didn't really move. In fact, he sort of just drifted off again, since he was definitely still tired. Though, he opened his eyes again when he heard her come back in the room, and wrapped his arms around her with a grunt when she flopped down on top of him. He mumbled some kind of tires thanks, burying his nose in her neck and wrapping himself around her snugly before settling down again. It was just very nice to cuddle he thought.

Mari gave a small type of chuckle to him when he wrapped his arms around him.. he still seemed so exhausted, she thought. She hummed gently when he burrowed into her neck, a type of childish giggle escaping her when his breathing had started tickle. She sort of pulled back a little and pecked his nose softly, then his forehead, temple and cheeks, kind of doing evethring in a quiet but still very playful manner.

Sage sort of let out a quiet chuckle when she giggled, leaving his eyes closed when she started moving her lips all around his face but smiled softly all the same. "What are you doing," he asked with a sort of chuckled, voice still admittedly very tired. Whatever she was doing, though, he was enjoying it....it was nice to see her playing around a bit more. It meant she was happier than she was a few days prior. And he had missed being that close to her, more than he could even express. "and what time is it," he asked after a moment, since she was by now blocking his view of the clock. It didn't matter much....he wasn't planning on actually getting up anytime soon...but still.
