Kaleb sat down in his usual spot and started into the meal. The warm food was really nice, and it tasted wonderful, but he had still only gone through a fraction of his partner's usual meal size before getting full. Once he was done, he got up to do the dishes despite his overwhelming urge to just stay seated and zone out a bit, since Riley cooked it was only fair that he cleaned up.

"Ya should just go take a shower." He nudged Kaleb as he brought his plate and the food over. "Looks like ya just want ta get to bed." And he wanted to get to bed before he had to start going on a job without his partner around.

"I-if you're sure you don't need my help," Kaleb said, putting his plate in the dishwasher and smiling at his partner. He went to the bedroom to pick up his pajamas, and then to the bathroom to start his shower. He was really looking forward to crawling into bed afterwards, almost enough to tempt him to skip his shower entirely and do it in the morning, but he didn't want to mess up Riley's schedule the next day so he just started the water running and tried to shrug off his exhaustion.

"Yea i'm good." He started cleaning up the kitchen as his partner headed off. Kaleb look tired so he figured he could clean up and the mage could get in bed faster.

The little mage enjoyed the hot shower, but while he washed his hair he forgot to keep his wings out of the water and keep them from getting completely drenched. It was too hard for him to hold his wings up while they were soaked through, and he ended up knocking a bottle of shampoo off the shelves with a loud bang. When he tried to pick that one up, his wings just happened to knock another couple bottles off. He took a step backwards to keep from knocking other things over, but because his wings were soaked and hanging down farther than usual, he ended up stepping on the ends of his long feathers and falling over himself with a yelp and an echoing thump.

The first few thumps he could have dealt with but with the yelp he dropped what he was doing and slurried toward the bathroom. "Kaleb?! you alright?!" He pushed the door open, thankful it wasn't lockable, as he managed to skid to a halt.

Kaleb was about to reply that he was fine, but he ended up yelping again and only barely managed to scramble for a towel as he heard the door fly open. "Riley! What are you doing?!" He exclaimed, blushing a bright shade of red. He couldn't get up with his wings soaked, so he had to settle for trying to cover as much of himself as possible with the towel.

"You were screaming. I though you were hurt ... you aren't are you?" His mind fixated on Kaleb maybe being hurt overrode any sort of desire to stare at him naked for a moment. "I mean yer on the floor and .... yer not hurt?"

"I-I didn't scream," Kaleb said, still blushing and unable to meet Riley's eyes. "I-I think I hurt my tails a little, b-but I just slipped on a feather..." It really wasn't anything to worry about, just a little fall, and certainly no excuse to come charging into the washroom while someone else was showering.

"Ya made noise and it sounded like ya hurt yerself." He huffed at his partner as it filtered into his head that Kaleb was naked. His cheeks turned pink as he looked down at the floor. "Umm ...."

"I-I was just startled," Kaleb insisted, too embarrassed to look up as he clutched his towel closer to his body. He tried to lift his wings a bit, so maybe he could scramble to his feet and try to regain some dignity, but the sodden feathers were too heavy, and his scrawny muscles were too weak and too tired. At least he was already done his shower, and only needed to worry about getting dried off and into his pajamas.

"Umm ... ya can't get up with soggy wings can ya." He shook his head and told himself that he'd behave and that he could help Kaleb get dry. "Can ya turn around? I have a hair dryer i could use to try ta get yer wings dry for ya"

"I-if y-you turn around, I-I can try to get up," Kaleb said, reminding himself that he trusted Riley not to look. He would need to let go of his towel, since it would be a struggle to get back to his feet even using both hands for support and balance, and he wasn't going to make any attempt at all if his partner was looking.

He sighed and turned around after a moment so he could dig though the cabnite for his hairdryer. "Just don't trip again or i'm turnin around"

Kaleb glanced up to make sure Riley wasn't looking, and then scrambled onto his knees so he could securely wrap his towel around his waist. The next step was to push himself up onto his feet. The attempt didn't go quite as well as planned since the weight of his wings threw him off balance, and he half fell out of the bathtub to land flat on his back with a squeak and a wet splat from his soggy feathers.
