the children of a lesser god

Morning I hope? Derp. WC: 322

Sage had been nearby when Gabriel had called; she'd been spending a lazy morning in the Forest of Nod. Chocolate ears shot forward at the sound of his voice, and immediately she knew to move. Was there something sad in that sound? Worried, Sage's brows furrowed as she called Lennon over, interrupting his hearty drinking at the only small pool of water around. Apologetically, she patted him and with a graceful movement leaped onto his strong back.

The earth child had known little about the status of the Aquila, only understanding that his injury was keeping him fairly limited lately. Sage did not, however, connect this to anything more. So, then, it was with a frown and a face filled with curious worry that she guided Lennon to the mansion's porch.

Her heart flew into her throat as she arrived and saw Talitha there, but she quickly distracted herself and allowed her nerves to be calm. Her auburn-haired cousin was sitting beside the wounded Gabriel (whose appearance alone made Sage's eyes soften further), Ezekiel, and Halo. Sage was quite related to all of them, she realized, but certainly was not as close to them as she was to her sisters, to Micah. Yellow eyes happily saw Clover there--and someone she'd yet to have met--, and she strode forward several steps before dismounting Lennon and dismissing him to go mingle with Daisy.

The tanned girl stepped into the queue beside her sister, gently leaning her shoulder on Clover's own. Whatever the message was, it certainly did not seem to be the happiest. Disconcerted, the girl gave a silent nodded greeting to Gabriel, her sun-colored eyes finding Talitha's whenever she could in an attempt to decipher the meaning of this meeting before it began. Sage could only wonder, for now, and hope that it was not some terrible news. She might not be able to handle more of that just yet.
