Sage hummed lightly and settled down again, closing his eyes. He was laying on his back now, but his head was still resting comfortably in her lap. It was nice, being able to relax. He supposed he normally looked older than he was...stress often does that to people...but when he was sleeping, or relaxing like this, under his bushy hair he definitely looked more his age.

Quinn glanced down at Sage, smiling in an amused manner. -Still the little puppy I know- she stifled a snicker, closing her eyes again and just trying to relax. Quinn never knew relaxing could be so hard.

Sage lay there for a while until he felt the sun start to go down. He opened his eyes with a sigh and struggled to sit up for a moment before managing it, though he was huffing and puffing. He looked over at Quinn and help his hands out to her. "Help me back in," he asked almost sheepishly. He did want to try and walk back though.

Quinn glanced up, standing and grabbing Sage's hands. She gently pulled him upright, with some strain, then supported him a little... but not enough that Sage didn't have to walk on his own a little. When they got back to the cave Quinn set him down, sitting against the wall with a slight huff. "No more sun." She commented with a chuckle

Sage grunted in pain but got to his feet somewhat easily considering the situation. He still leaned on Quinn, though definitely as much as before. He practically fell over, breathless, once he got to his spot, but he was rather proud of himself. "No more," he repeated, though on a breathless tone as he caught his breath.

Quinn glanced down at Sage before leaning back. She was well rested already... and she had been laying in the sun all day. The cool of the cave was welcoming.

Sage settled down soon enough...he was rather fit, so he caught his breath easily. He lay down then, happy to settle down for dinner. He wasn't sure what was for dinner, but he was certainly getting hungry. He sort of just looked over at Quinn hopefully....even if she didn't have dinner yet, maybe she at least had some sort of snack or something.

Quinn saw Sage's look. "Oh yes... food." She held back a snicker and stood, shaking her head. Quinn then exited the cave and found some leftover of that cooked vine for Sage to munch on while she hunted. Quinn dropped it in his lap and left, taking her bow and arrow and daggers. Quinn walked through the bush, hoping to find something small and easy... quickly. She froze when she heard a rustle, then tipped her head. Then Quinn heard the unmistakable waddle... but it sounded heavier. She smiled, thinking of how Sage would LOVE this, then peeked through the bush. Quinn aimed, shot, and without a sound the animal fell. Quinn picked it up and carried it back, starting to pluck it.

Sage gave the girl a wide grin when she dropped the vine in his lap and he was more than happy to munch on it while she hunted. He heard her come back soon enough...it was really perfect timing since he'd just finished the vine she'd given him. He couldn't see what she had, since she was still coming up to the cave, but he could smell the fresh meat she had with her. His mouth watered and he licked his lips eagerly, sniffing the air and waiting eagerly for her to cook it up...her cooking was really good. He did like it.

"Hey Goose, can you guess what we're eating?" Quinn called teasingly, stripping off the meat and started to cook it. She leaned back against her normal stump with a contented smile.
