And you can see Sage at least try to show process.
Chapter 24: Process
During the next few weeks, Sage has been spending more time with Luna and it seemed like she's the only one that got Sage to open up more and to tell her everything that he could never tell Mako or anyone else because he keeps it close to himself, unless if it's his posse. But with Luna, it's like he opens his heart in more ways than one and he never really knew how much he's opened up, but it's a good thing because at least he's got someone that is willing to listen to him about everything.
Luna was listening to every single secret that Sage has and sometimes...those with a little too much information as well, but at least Luna was a good sport in the listening department. And in some ways, he started showing a softer and kinder side to him in front of her and that was definitely a bigger breakthrough for him as well.
Even on times when Ryo, Hope, Faith, Kaizer and Kiba were watching Max and the younger cubs, Luna had time for Sage; hanging out with each other, reading a few comics and still talking to each other and Sage felt like he's never alone when Luna's there beside him.
The one thing that Sage has gotten from her; a sense of loyalty and compassion...something that he's never had before in his life from someone else or himself and to have someone see the best of him really means a lot to him and it's like he can rely on her for anything.
The two soon became the best of friends and Sage liked that feeling and wished that it could never go away nor make it a temporary thing because he's been yearning for one in so long and there was a tiny shift in his attitude. He still carries the same attitude, but keeps it in a much smaller scale because these two are polar opposites of each other. Sage is reckless and somewhat a big-mouthed fighter who likes to has too much swag to himself while Luna is more calm, sweet and a think before do person and helps Sage settle himself down.
Normally, Sage would spit on limits and just go for it anyway, but with Luna...it's the opposite. He just lets it go and that's kind of the personality that would be shown very seldom and it's like Luna keeps him level-headed and grounded and balances him out so.
The more he's around Luna, the more easier it is for him to showcase his kinder side, but he's not going full-on softie or anything. But at least he's making great progress.
Stay tuned to see how Sage keeps it up.
