Sage nodded when she mentioned meeting him here. At least she had one friend. Well....had? He wasn't sure what was going on between them."he seems nice," he noted, rather wishing he had someone like that, whj comforted him when he had a nightmare or something triggered flashbacks or... Anything really. He just wanted a friend. He couldn't be her friend though ....that wasnt allowed. Maybe once he destroyed the place, he could free her. Maybe they could get along then.

Alleyah scoffed at his words. "Nice... sure" she rolled her eyes "try overbearing, annoying, and controlling" She groaned and ran a hand through her hair. "He's so frustrating" she looked down at her feet

Sage sort of cocked his head in response to her comment, shrugging after a moment. "He cares about you, anyone can see that," he noted quietly, feeling odd not to stay quiet since the nature was so quiet and peaceful around them.

Alleyah hook her head. She knew that already, but she hated that he cared. He had no reason to and there was no way their relationship could further because of their situation. "I don't see why. And it's not like we could touch or anything" Ally huffed and crossed her arms, not wanting to talk about Dale anymore. She looked away from the guard, watching the horizon

Sage sort of hummed in thought, nodding along with her comments. He understood that, he supposed...but he also didn't want her to mess up a friendship because he all of a sudden annoyed her or...whatever the heck had happened between them. He wasn't going to pry though. "That's up to you I suppose," he noted with a shrug.

Ally didn't know what to say. She just kept walking. "Can we take an extra lap? I really don't want to go back in there" She motioned toward the building as it came into view. Let Dale worry. It would make her happy for a little while

Sage sort of bit his lip and thought about her request for a moment. He really wasn't supposed to but....well, no one really cares. They'd never know. "Fine," he sighed after a moment. "We can do that." Then he wrinkled his nose. "But that's it," he added in a somewhat amused manner. He certainly wasn't upset to stay outside longer though.

Alleyah's face brightened a little "Yay!" She fought the urge to throw her hands up with joy and jump around like a maniac, instead keeping her hands by her side and skipping for a few steps before slowing so he could catch up. "Thank you" Ally said as she turned toward The guard. "So you let everyone call you S, and you don't really like the nickname Scar, so what do we call you?"

Sage couldn't help but chuckle when he face lit up and she sort of skipped for a few steps, moving to slide into an easy jog to catch up with her. He nodded in response to her comment, cocking his head when she asked what she should call him. He debated it for a few minutes before grunting. "My name's Sage," he admitted. "We're sort of supposed to not let anyone know our actual names though," he added with a slight wrinkle of his nose.

"That's a cool name. Unique" Ally noted then she furrowed her eyebrows. "Why can't you say your real name?" She asked, her head tilting. She didn't understand why he couldn't tell anyone, but she wouldn't get him in trouble by telling anyone else. "Well Sage, can I call you Scar so I don't get you in trouble?"
