To Sage's delight, her cousin became benign once again, for the time being. Taking a happy, glad breath, she turned bright, albeit reddened eyes towards Ezekiel. He mumbled something about herbs and instinctively, she licked her lips. "I'm sure it'll taste just wonderful, Ezekiel," she piped up softly, a lazy, cheshire grin curling her lips.
Sage's tongue was dry, and again she licked at her lips; gold eyes shot to the bottle laying on the table. Finding herself a cup, she moved a thin arm to pour a hefty amount of liquid into the goblet, bringing it to her lips with haste. She swallowed a gulp and frowned quickly at the taste-- it was incredibly bitter and harsh; it had burned going down. After a moment, she gathered herself and turned back to their company, walking the few steps back to join Ezekiel.
The Aquila had been joined by Valkyrie, and Sage greeted her with a happy wave and smile. The last time she had seen the excitable, cinnamon-pepper girl, they had been exploring CF Derbert. The Optio hadn't gone back since.
She could feel the drool pooling slowly into her mouth as she stared, blatantly slackjawed, at the freshly roasted ducks. The quiet jackal came and took a couple of the birds and without a word strode back to join Talitha-- and now, Sage noticed, the former Aquila Gabriel. Golden gaze locked on the trio for a moment, a small frown of concern wondering if they had fun with such little interaction. With a shrug, she returned her lazy eyes towards the birds again, ears perking up and tail thumping in anticipation. The wispy girl could almost taste the warm, tender meat against her teeth, and again ran her pink tongue across them eagerly.
Sage would wait her turn, but as hunger rumbled in her belly she became quickly impatient, round, golden eyes staring hard at the steaming fowl. When her turn came, she dug in heartily, but ate with a subtle lady-like elegance; she held more respect for the creatures whose lives were ended so that she would be sated.
