((Private RP for Kaleb and Riley, please don't post without an invitation. ^_^))
Kaleb sat quietly in the chair across from Riley's desk, not able to keep the concern from his expression as he watched his partner finish the day's paperwork. Riley hadn't been looking good, and the little mage worried and fretted as he listened to the scratch of pen against paper. He had been sitting at the office all afternoon, every now and again asking Riley if he needed anything, or telling him he should take the rest of the day off, but his partner seemed pretty determined to get the paperwork done.

He didn't care that his eyes hurt and that his fingers ached or that he felt very much like he wanted to fall over and go to sleep. He wanted to finish the damn paperwork before he went home. He'd go home and he'd piss off the scientists by not going down to the labs like they wanted him to.
They'd know he was due for a check and he knew he was but he didn't want to go down there. Not until he knew that he had to or he'd fall over

Kaleb bit his lip and adjusted his glasses a bit. "Riley, a-are you sure you can't just leave that for tomorrow?" He asked, probably for the seventh time that afternoon. "Or maybe I could help?"

"look .. i'm fine." He looked up at Kaleb as he signed another paper. "I don't have that much to do and if i leave it for tomorrow i'll be here late."
He didn't like being in the office late since usually Reno was stuck there and he got into trouble, loud trouble, when he was there late.

The little mage's worried expression just increased, but he didn't say anything else. Riley was obviously lying to him about being okay, which probably meant he felt worse than he looked. Kaleb fidgeted worse.

As he got toward the end of the pile he looked up at Kaleb again. "Will you stop fidgeting?" It wasn't making him feel any better and it was distracting.

"I-I'm sorry," Kaleb said quickly. He tried to stop fidgeting, but sitting completely still was almost unbearable. He looked pretty wretched as he bit his lip again, clenching his hands in his lap so he didn't annoy his partner.

With a sigh he finished off the last of his paperwork. "There .... now i can go home." He'd go home and pretend that he wasn't sick and probably fall asleep on his couch.
At least he wouldn't have Kaleb hovering over him asking him if he was okay every five minuets.

Kaleb went right back to fidgeting at Riley's announcement. "A-are you sure you're going to be okay by yourself?" He asked, honestly concerned for his partner. Riley really didn't look good at all.

"Yea .." He was a little afraid that he'd stumble when he stood up. Maybe if he did it really slowly he wouldn't have a problem. "I'll be fine"
He stood up and had to hold himself up with the desk for a minuet. Damn driving was going to be a b***h.

Kaleb stood quickly, knocking his chair backwards a bit in his haste, and stepped around the desk. "Y-you don't look so good," he said, hesitating before putting a hand on his partner's arm.

"Just a little tired. I'm fine." He really shouldn't have looked at Kaleb. The damn kid was too cute when he was worrying about something. "I'll be fine .. promise"

Kaleb fretted a bit more. "A-are you sure you can get home on your own?" He glanced up to look a his partner, looking closely to see how badly Riley was lying to him. "I-I could drive you, i-if you wanted..."

"No no .. i'm fine." He was lying horrible. He'd probably have to get Rude to Tseng to take him home at this rate. He didn't want Kaleb worrying over him.

Kaleb huffed a bit. "Stop saying that if you're obviously not fine. I-I'm just trying to help..." He wanted to say Riley should have gone home earlier, but it wouldn't have solved anything. "H-how are you going to get home if you can hardly stand?"
