Layla followed him, softly agreeing with his assessment of the damage. When he stopped in his bedroom, she moved to get the packs off his back and set them aside.
"Replacing the leather won't be too hard. I can hunt and skin easily, though you'll have to show me how you work the skins into the leather you use," she offered softly as she looked around the room, grateful the bed hadn't been taken either. And that they'd been sent with new bedding for it.
She pulled the quiver from her hip and set on a hook on the wall then propped her bow below it as she moved closer to him with a small smile, "It's a good thing they sent us home with food, though. Remember, I can't cook," she teased him a bit, unable to help it.

Layla gave a soft pleased sigh when Borias carried her into the bedroom and laid her on the bed, finding herself slightly amazed he still had that much energy. She felt like a limp noodle right now.
She settled herself on the mattress with a small smile as she looked around the room, "I have some very fond memories of this bed. I'm just sorry it took me so long to get to lay in it as your mate," she said softly.
She'd been surprised that he'd laid down with her that first time, to help her get warm again after her first nightmare that night. And probably to keep her in the bed since she'd tried to sneak out that first time.
She gave a soft laugh over that memory as she looked up at him, "Alright now. Tell me the truth. Did you lay down with me that night to help me get warm again or to keep me in the bed?" she asked him, finding a bit of humor to the memory now.
Admittedly, she'd been pretty shaken after opening the door to see Zuko standing out in the rain at the edge of Borias' land. And she'd jumped when Borias had put his hand on her shoulder. But when he'd laid down next to her, she'd gotten her very first peaceful rest that night with him holding her. When they'd finally left for the elven realm and he'd left her there, she'd found herself missing the scent of leather that seemed to be a part of him, missing him holding her when she'd slept.

Layla tightened her arm around his waist, grateful to feel him holding her. But she knew she had to be honest with him about something, knowing he deserved it after everything that had happened.
"I knew I wouldn't be safe there. Not with Zuko alive. I knew he'd kill you if you stayed, though. I should have thought it out better. I had no idea he'd come after you here but I should have known he would. I should have warned you. When he'd said he'd killed you-" she had to stop talking at that point and closed her eyes tightly, knowing there were no words to describe how those words had made her feel.
After a few moments, she cleared her throat and raised her head so she could look at him, raising her hand to caress his cheek gently, "When I saw you that night, I thought you were a spirit come to haunt me for not warning you..." she admitted, hoping he'd understand why she hadn't told him the elven realm wasn't safe for her when she'd gone back.

The next morning, Layla woke up early. She smiled when she felt Borias holding her and carefully slipped out of the bed, not wanting him to wake up just yet. She stood beside the bed watching him sleep for a moment, unable to help herself.
But she shook herself a bit and moved out of the bedroom on silent feet. The first thing she did was start up the fire in the kitchen then set some water to heat up in a pot that had been sent with them. That much she could do without worry.
While the water heated, she unpacked the rest of the things they'd brought with them and cleaned up the mess they'd made at his work table, blushing the whole time but unable to stop grinning over it. As she worked, she kept refilling the water on the stove as she filled up the tub.
Once the table was clean, she set out the food they'd been sent with then cleaned herself up before she put on a silk robe and went in to wake him up.
She sat on the side of the bed and leaned over to kiss him then trailed her lips down to his neck, "Time to wake up, my love," she whispered to him softly then gave his neck a gentle n** as encouragement.
