Sage had plenty of luck that evening, finding a willing participant at the first bar he stopped at within the hour. He brought them to a hotel he frequented just for this purpose, not keen on having strangers in his own home given his occupation. The sex was good, the meal was better... As was honestly often the case from his perspective, though he always ensured his partners were repaid, with interest, for their willingness to be his meal. And perhaps it was simply the other's parting words playing in his mind, but he did think of the doctor as he catered to his prey.<br/><br/>Aftward he returned home and showered, removing the other vampire's scent from himself as swiftly as possible. As he exited the shower he felt the soft fur of his feline companion rub against his leg, a pretty grey feline with large pine colored eyes. The feline meowed at him for his meal and he soon went to open his can of food, petting the creature as it ate happily. He'd gotten the thing unexpectedly as a kitten, surprised at the time that he hadn't hated the scent of the vampire... It had been a few years since then and if anything it seemed the cat knew how to boss around the silver-haired male rather well.<br/><br/>Sage retired to bed soon after, and as was his usual he awoke early the following morning. He was on a rather odd schedule, usually sleeping a bit at night into the early hours, and then again in the early evening... It allowed him to be awake during the day and night while they tried to track down their current target, though he was honestly looking forward to sleeping during the sunlit hours again, his eyes particularly sensitive even when he wore his tinted contacts and sunglasses.<br/><br/>He rolled over and noted his pet was sleeping nuzzled against his side, petting him a moment before realizing the lazy thing was laying on his phone. He nudged him, only to get his hand captured by claws as the feline tried to play with him, but at the least, it gave him a chance to snag the device before roughhousing a little with the other before the cat got bored of the game and got up to go and lay on his bed by the windowsill, the only one with the curtain pulled aside to allow the sun in.<br/><br/>He checked the phone and read through a few messages... More disappointing news about their targets elusiveness, the night shift switching over to the day shift. He replied simply that he was awake and would be doing more research today, adding in the little new information from Alex as well... though he decided to omit the bit about Milo being the one caring for the victim for the time being.<br/><br/>And then he noted the other message, tilting his head as he read it. He mulled it over, uncertain if that meant that Alex truly wasn't interested and it had only been the booze... Well, he was glad then that he had turned him down. "<i>I did not find it unsavory in the least. I hope that you did not find my actions unpleasant as well." </i>He hit send without thinking too much about it, it was best to just be honest, and he did wonder if Alex had been put off by his willingness to accept such behavior... But then again it was no secrete before last night that Sage had such habits in general, so he assumed Alex had already known as well. Still, it was a shame... But he was content with keeping the relationship as it was and so he stood to get ready for his day... But of course, the cat was begging for food once more the moment he got out of bed.
