She was glad Zia wasn't wandering around when they returned, her eyes still puffy and the two of them looking quite like hell. It might have looked like a terrible fight to someone who didn't know better. And Aurora wasn't exactly keen on someone thinking that she was willing to scratch and beat the crap out of someone. Polaris okay.. Aurora.. not so much.
She dug through the ranger's large first aid kit to find the the things she needed to clean his wounds, and then slowly went about it. Water and rags just to clean him up a bit. Peroxide in all the scratches. Did he want bandaids or not? He was too exhausted to fight her, so he did get a couple on the biggest and deepest scratches. Inspecting every bit of skin that she could see and making sure she had taken care of everything, she gave a soft nod of satisfaction and a task well done.
When she was done with him Aurora made her way into the rustic bathroom. It had all the necessities.. sink, tub, shower, but it was far from classy or modern. It hardly mattered as Aurora climbed behind the thin vinyl curtain and started up the old shower head. Warm water felt amazing after a night of cold and wet. Her hair washed.. mud washed off of her lower legs. She didn't linger however as long as she might have at home, assuming that Azzo was waiting.
Toweling herself off, she pulled out the bandages and ointment she'd snuck away from the first aid kit and set to work at her side. She was careful to keep the layer of guaze thin so it wouldn't be seen through her clothing. Teeth brushed, hair very quickly bunned and braided and half arranged, and dressed in a simple blouse and kapri shorts she immerged from the bathroom after about twenty minutes.
Only to find that poor Azzo had succumb to his tiredness. Fingers brushed his shoulder softly to see how out he was, if he didn't respond she'd simply bring him a blanket. "You should come sleep upstairs Azzo.."

Azzo was actually sitting on the floor leaning against a wall to keep himself balanced it was the fact she brushed his shoulder that made him look up at her. "Huh?"
He paused oh right, "Yeah... maybe a shower first though..." He got up form the floor, with a sigh. Rubbing at his eyes, "I'll go in a second, if I go like this I might as well find a mud puddle and some pigs to sleep with." With that he headed for a shower after grabbing some fresh clothing. "I hardly think you want pigpen sleeping in a bed with white sheets."
He closed the door behind him and stepped into the shower. The fact it was rustic made it sorta more like home even if it wasn't gram's clawed cast iron bathtub.

She nodded softly, watching him gently to make sure he'd be able to make it into the bathroom. She hovered around the closed door long enough to hear the water start up again. Surely the water would wake him up a little and she could worry a little less about him well.. just passing out.
While he was in the shower Aurora went about checking on her things. All of the food had been successfully put away the night before. The tent had magically dissapeared.. something that Aurora assumed Azzo might have had something to do with. And so that left her with her suitcase.
Her pretty, first date outfit was a mess so she wrapped it into a small plastic bag.. to try and keep it from getting the rest of her fresh clothing dirty. And she looked through the rest of her things curiously, debating whether she should unpack any of it or just let it be. She still wasn't certain how long she'd stay.
Digging through the front she pulled out a small and pretty little bottle, spraying a mist of something that smelled of vanilla and orange on herself.

It didn't take Azzo long to clean up. Something somewhat akin to a military shower. He was already walking out in paw print pajama pants and rubbing a towel on his hair. He'd worry about fixing it later, he was watching Aurora, "Mmm... there's a washing machine up stairs. If your dress isn't dry clean."
Letting the towel rest around his neck he was leaning on the door way to the bathroom. He paused at the vanilla and orange spray that she'd used lofting a brow. "Oh now you're just going to make me hungry." He teased looking towards the stairs. He hadn't had anything to eat since lunch yesterday and well that was gone but he was in the mood just to sleep and not bother with food.

Wash machine..? Hmm.. perhaps she'd take care of her dress then after all. Especially since she was soon to have very little to do.
His comment caused her to laugh a little softly, answering truthfully. "I prefer food scents to dead flowers or chemicals" But yeah.. hungry. That really WAS the point of perfumes and body sprays wasn't it? To make a man hungry.. and not for food. To make it almost impossible for him to resist wanting to taste a bit of her skin.
Aurora shivered a little, her cheeks pinking as she realized what she was thinking of and imagining.
"Sleep well" She insisted rather quickly, trying to shoe him off before he'd notice how flustered she was getting. "Do you have to be up by a certain time?"

Azzo nodded softly "Eh I suppose it is better than flowers." He yawned before heading towards the stairs. "Uh... 2 hours ago?"
He shrugged, "If anyone screams for help you can wake me up. I did my share of work last night, let Zia take care of the day for a bit." He watched as she tried to shoe him off to bed, he lofted a brow and shook his head. "You're not going to follow me and make sure I don't do something dumb like fall are you?"
He was teasing obviously as he headed up stairs he seemed a bit sluggish and wobbly as he moved. Though he finally given up on talking 'cause if he'd stood there much longer he might as well just sleep standing up...

"Okay then, 2 hours" She nodded softly.
His tease about following him backfired, making her suddenly begin to worry a little about the idea. However she simply shook her head. "If I hear a thump then I'll come looking."
Grabbing the little bag of shoes and dress, she made her way towards the stairs. She was sooo clever. Pretend that she cared about washing her clothes.. and maybe keep an eye on him to make sure he got to the room alright.
Maybe she'd even do a little exploring while he slept.

Azzo paused, thinking he wanted to sleep longer than two hours but eh two hours was better than nothing. He nodded as he hummed sleepily before pausing at the door way. He thought he heard her walking up the stairs and when she got close enough he mumbled, "Night."
Before pushing the door most of the way too and going to curl up in the bed. Shoving Merlin over since the dog had taken it over.
