Rory just chuckled. "Think o' me home as your own, darlin'. You're as welcome there as you are in Faolan's vardo. Maybe more so." He looked at her sidelong, eyes half-closed. "Besides, it's closer t' here than your own place is, yeah?"

Lee smiled to herself, though would try to keep herself from bombarding Rory with visits now that he'd said that. She was more inclined to barge in now, but didn't want him to tire of her any time soon. "I dun think Faolan would like me kicking him out and getting naked in his vardo..." In that respect, yes, she was more welcome in Rory's home. She nodded at his question, and decided that she'd end up taking him up on his offer after all, so long as he stayed outside.

"I'm sure he didnae mind when you two were married, eh?" Rory chuckled, making his way across the camps, leading her to his vardo. The green and gold wagon soon came into view and Rory hopped up the steps of his small home and disappeared inside.

Lee smiled with embarrassment, even though it really didn't seem that Rory minded her having been previously married. She didn't understand why or how it was possible, but she was very thankful for that fact. Following him into the vardo, she stayed near the door and, for some reason, felt she should wait until invited to come inside further.

"Come in, lass," Rory said, searching through a drawer till he found a dark green shirt with an embossing of gold rabbits running across it, not unlike the outside of his vardo. "Okay, th' shirts are in this here drawer. Take whate'er you want o' them. The wash basin's o'er here by the stove. I can warm you up some water fae your bath if'n you like while you decide on a shirt."

Lee headed over to the drawer, looking down into it and feeling the slightest bit like she really shouldn't look through his clothes, even when she clearly had his permission. She was feeling even more like an intruder. "Eh, sure... Thanks." Kneeling down and sorting through the clothes, she managed to find a deep red shirt, her favorite color to wear. "This one's okay, right?"

"Aye, lass, any shirt you want," Rory said, not looking to see what she'd picked since his focus was on warming up some water for her bath. "There's some soap and washcloths under the counter where I keep the wash basin."

Closing the drawer, she turned her attention toward finding the soap and washcloths, spotting them without much effort. Her hands full, she wandered over to Rory, smiling at him appreciatively, even though he probably wasn't paying attention.

Rory stuck a finger in the water he had on the stove and nodded to himself. "This should be warm enough." He moved, nearly tripping over her, and went to the wash basin to pour the water in. "There you are, lass. I'll gae wait outside fae you." And he did just that.

Looking around for a moment, a somewhat lost expression on her face, Lee finally set everything down next to the wash basin and took a deep breath before undressing and beginning to bathe. Finishing as quickly as she could, she pulled her clothes back on and put Rory's shirt on, feeling slightly silly at how small she looked in it. Opening the door, she smiled down at him uncomfortably. "It's safe..."

Rory looked up at her and grinned. "Tha's a good color on you." He winced a bit as he stood up, then pulled her to him in a hug. "We can hang around th' vardo awhile if'n you want then I'll gae get somethin' t' cook fae dinner. Sound good?"

Beaming down at him, she had to resist the urge to say, "I know, right?" to his compliment, and simply went with a nod and a "Thank you." Grinning as he pulled her closer, she nodded in agreement to his plan. She figured she knew what he meant by "hang around the vardo", but wasn't too opposed to whatever he might have planned.

He moved past her into the wagon, pulling her along behind and shutting the door. Grinning, Rory led her to the bed and sat down, pulling her into his lap. "There now. Tha's comfortable, yeah?"

She kept herself from leaning into his chest, still careful not to touch any bruises. It was much less romantic that way, but she cared more about his injuries than being cute. Turning her body so she could see him, she gave him a playful smile. "Comfortable for me. You'd be more comfortable laying back, though, wouldn't you?" She'd have a harder time kissing him like this...

"Aye, lass," Rory said quietly and complied, stretching out on his back, his long legs still over the edge of the bed. He looked up at her, grinning a little, his hands on her hips, fingers massaging gently. "This better?"
