Sage hummed softly with a nod, hanging up the last bit of clothing and when picking the basket up. "She was the push I needed to leave," he noted, though when she said she was sorry he offered her a small smile and shake of his head. "Not your fault. I just ....seem to get all the bad luck in life," he noted with a shrug. He paused then though, and looked back at her after a moment. "But this cabin, running away together out here....I think I've finally gotten some good luck," he noted, his smile real this time.

Sage had half turned to move back to out the basket away, but turned back to her as she spoke, eyes widening as she offered friendship. He felt his jaw drop, not entirely sure how to respond. He shook his surprise aside after a moment though, closing his mouth and giving her a somewhat shy smile and a nod. "I....I think I'd like that," he agreed softly.

Sage watched Elara go with a faint smile, just grinning to himself as he moved to but the basket away. A friend. It was a new concept to him, of course, but he was definitely fond of the girl, and he was very excited to be able to be a bit more familiar with her. To know he could talk to her if need be.

Sage had looked up when Liz came running towards him, letting out a yelp when she grabbed a hold of him, leaving handprints on his own skin. "Liz, you just had a bath," he sort of squeaked, picking her up and holding her away from him so he got slightly less messy, carrying her over to where he could get a rag wet and wipe her off best he could.

Sage grunted in agreement to elaras comment, nodding along. "Don't i know it," he groaned, though couldn't help the smile that crossed his face when Liz giggled about the bubbles in the bucket he'd put the soap in to try and scrub her off.
