Sage was panting as well by time they had made it to where Jackson refused to take another step till he could breathe again. Actually taking this moment to relax, she sat down then fell on her back with a sigh. Breathing in as deeply as the mask would let her before she smirked. "You never..s-said so," she breathed out. Then suddenly kicked his feet out from under him as he asked where they were going. As he landed on his back with a thud, she laughed the best she could with the little air she had. "Thats..f-for la-laughing earlier.." she panted as she sat up a bit, for a moment seeming relaxed and happy. Her green eyes shined brightly and a real smile graced her lips.<br/><br/>Then she became slightly more serious as she thought about where they were going. "Well..a couple miles down the road will be our next safehouse. Then several miles further in an old warehouse and just one or two miles after is the coast city. Which is where my brother should be...if he hasnt been infected yet..." she whispered the last part then sighed softly before standing. "Come. Lets get moving." she said a little more gently than she wanted to. Offering him her hand before she pulled him up then didnt say anything more as she started walking down the less traveled trail. Forgetting to let go of his hand as she walked, feeling like it was just..right.
