Sage had gotten his equipment cleaned up and laid back, taking a cat nap for a while before the television awoke him once more. He picked up the remote, checking the time and seeing there was still about an hour before the others got home. He cleaned up his gear from the table and stashed it in his bedroom on his desk chair before going into the kitchen and starting to cook up dinner.<br/><br/>He decided to keep it simple tonight and threw some alfredo sauce in a pan next to boiling noodles. He got out some bread and decorated it with butter and garlic before sliding the loaf into the oven and turning it up. He stirred things and flipped a switch on the radio to get some music going as he pulled a beer out of the back of the fridge and popped it open. He took small sips at it as he worked on the dinner, not sure if the others had eaten but knowing that he was very hungry himself.<br/><br/>As the food cooked he walked around the bottom floor of the house and cleaned up what little mess there was lying around, putting a jacket on Nikki’s door handle and a notebook with some of Simons homework in front of his door before going back downstairs and taking a larger swig of his beer, continuing to go between cooking and doing some tiding up around the bottom floor of the house, mostly the common areas right then, cooking and waiting for the others to get home. It was not abnormal for him to stay up late, or sleep in the living room until he knew both of them were back home alive.<br/>
