Kaleb almost scowled. "I maintain a regular eating pattern even if my meals are small, but it gets problematic when I can't eat anything at all." He huffed a bit before continuing. "You can keep me with you, a-and I'll keep you safe," he finished.

"Well that's why yer my partner." He nuzzled Kaleb again. "Can't keep ya around all the time. You've got another job and all that studying ta do."

Kaleb nodded weakly, he couldn't be around all the time, but at least he could accompany Riley on jobs where he was most likely to get hurt. At this point the nightmares were a small price to pay for keeping his partner safe. But that reminded him... "D-don't you have to be at work today?"

"Technically i was already at work today. Came over here to check on ya during my lunch break" Rufus was probably going to b***h at him again about it but he didn't care.

Kaleb fidgeted and chewed on a thumbnail. Riley had been there for awhile, certainly longer than a lunch break probably allowed. "D-don't you have to go back?"

"Yea, but Rufus' is gonna yell at me anyway so being a little later isn't bad. I mean i was just hanging around the office really. Everyone was there today so he doesn't need me that bad"

"Oh." Kaleb said, still kind of surprised Riley was staying with him even though he was going to get yelled at later. He snuggled a bit closer and was quiet for a couple seconds before speaking up again. "Riley, what was wrong with you?"

"Just a little cold." He shrugged. He didn't want to explain the whole thing to Kaleb since it would probably freak the mage out. The other Turks knew to keep things under wraps since technally his existence could cause some major problems for Rufus should anyone find out.

Kaleb huffed. That was no good answer, but he was too tired to press Riley for more information right then. He shifted a bit and his stomach grumbled lightly, being irritable wasn't as bad as being overstressed, and his stomach was starting to remind him of his missed meals now that it wasn't wringing itself into knots. "H-have you had lunch yet?"

"No, i was gonna pick something up on the way back ta the office." He chuckled as Kaleb's stomach growled. "Though it sounds like you haven't either"

Kaleb shook his head, he had barely been able to force himself to eat some crackers the day before, and the mint tea was hardly a good substitute for real food. He wasn't going to tell Riley that though, he would probably just freak out.

He nudged Kaleb with his muzzle. "Then you should get up and get somethin to eat. It's not good to not eat." He grinned at his partner slightly.

Kaleb would rather just stay curled up with Riley, and maybe get some sleep. "Do I have to get up?" he asked, in an almost miserable tone. He wanted food, maybe a glass of chocolate milk and something warm to munch on, but he just didn't want to move for it now that he was lying down and rather comfortable.

"Well if you want to eat you have to get up." He nuzzled his partner. "Kinda sounds like ya need food ... but i guess if yer comfortable ya don't"

Kaleb sighed and started to get up, he did need to eat something, but he abandoned the movement quickly as he was reminded of how tired he was. Food would probably go a long way to settling his emotions and getting some energy back into him, but he just couldn't bring himself to do more than snuggle back against his partner and close his eyes.
