Chapter 19: Rewards

Regal pushed to his feet, grabbed a nearby towel, rested it on his shoulder, and slipped himself into the bathroom, getting another last glance of her before shutting it.
He hung the towel onto another hanger, moved under the shower, and turned it on, letting the cold water hit his face.
After a few more minutes he was done bathing, a quick swipe with a towel to dry himself, getting under his usual t-shirt and pants, he was out with a final glance at his wild hair only to give up fixing it.
Just as he was out, another disorganized counter greeted him.
However, this time he put on the gloves, cleaned it, and threw them into the trash cover.
After he was done, he grabbed the coffee tin, scooped grounds into the machine, and hit the start button.
The machine hissed as he yanked open the fridge.
Eggs, bread, and milk were grabbed and dumped onto the clean counter.
Crack, whisk, pour, eggs hit the pan with a sizzle.
The toaster clicked, toast popped up, and he caught it without missing a beat. Buttered and tossed onto a plate, the eggs followed right after.
Two mugs filled with steaming coffee joined them on the table.
