To say Jamie was exhausted would be a bit of an understatement. He'd been sleeping so good before he'd been abruptly awoken by the sound of Bella trampling through his shack like an erumpent in a small room. Well, that was probably exaggerating things but he wasn't about to say any of that out loud as it was.

Once back in his room, he'd pulled on yesterday's trousers and nothing else. Hopefully she wouldn't stay long so he wouldn't have to feel out of sorts not being fully clothed in her presence. Not that it would be the first time and Merlin only knew how much she'd seen prior to that. Or felt. He shook his head at that thought. He didn't need such thoughts on that moment.

He stopped off in the kitchen to put a kettle of water on and light a lantern before he wandered slowly into the sitting room. "C'mon," he said once within the room, "You need to drink something other than whiskey. Just leave the gate open. They'll follow." And they did. Or at least the black pup did, his white sister seemed content in Bella's lap but Jamie didn't bother looking back as he went into the kitchen.
