Laura takes that as a cue that everything's settled and stands up. "I will show you the bathroom." That is the most seriously anyone has ever uttered that phrase, by the way.
She moves without waiting to be sure Kiden is following her, just assumes that she will for a variety of reasons. She points out both the bathroom and which room is hers (theirs), in case she doesn't want to come hang out in the kitchen again when she's done. She'll bring her some spare pajamas as well, and a quiet word from Remy results in her taking her old clothes when she's busy and not paying attention. Hopefully she'll take the new ones she's bound to get (there are all kinds of stores open all night in Baedal, it having a significant nocturnal population; she could go tonight and get them while she's asleep, before she can protest) but at least her old ones will be clean. Clean clothes can mean a lot when you don't have a spare set and some quarters.
She and Remy will probably have a brief discussion, if not tonight then sometime soon -- he'll need to know about Kiden (and the others), what she's been through and where she's coming from, although Laura suspects he can guess about a lot of it. Someone should know, because the Institute failed mutant kids like Kiden and she deserves that kind of attention. She's had this conversation with him before, but he's from before that happened, which means there's some stuff she's going to have to admit to again. That's fine, it doesn't bother her, it's just odd.
