"Quel desastre..." Celeste muttered in French under her breath as she eyed, quite horrified, the kitchen, her once clean and tidy kitchen and then moved her gaze back to Shale, and in shock she found herself flying towards him.

"Shale! Your hand!" Celeste blurted out horrified and rushed forward, not remembering his heat resistance, when she saw his hand on the griddle. "Mon dieu, are you hurt?" she quickly grabbed his hand off the hot pan, and searched his face looking for any sign of pain.

Shale was still in his panicked state of trying to clean up when Celeste ran up to him, asking if he was hurt, and all he could do was blink at her in utter confusion. "My hand...?" He looked down at the hand still just laying on the blazing hot griddle, then raised a brow and held it up with the palm out to show that it hadn't affected him at all. "Mom, I'm fine, see? It's okay!"

He almost pulled her into an egg and flour covered hug, but caught himself at the last moment, not wanting to spoil how clean she was after the fancy bath she'd enjoyed. "I, um...okay. . .I have a bit of money I saved up, so...I can order something for you while I clean this up. I'm really, really sorry for messing up so badly, I was just trying to make you happy..."

Celeste looked down at Shale's hand, shocked that he was alright, slowly remembering that he was immune to heat, and breathed out a sigh of relief. "My lords, you are okay," she said as she stepped forward and hugged him tightly to her. She had noticed his hesitation and wasn't about to allow flour and egg to get in the way of her need to comfort Shale.

"Come here," she said as she hugged him, "We can clean up the kitchen - together..." she said looking at him in a sternly, adding in a gentler tone, "Then we can go out for breakfast somewhere, maybe have a nice brunch?" she said, more than asked.

Shale cringed a bit when Celeste pulled him into a hug, but embraced her back, nuzzling into her neck. "Mom, you're getting all messy...right after your bath, too. I shouldn't have tried this; I'm sorry, I just wanted to do something nice for you..." He actually seemed like he might tear up a bit, surprisingly, holding her tighter.

He had to stay like that for a few moments before finally pulling back, laughing breathily and sniffling when he saw how he'd already gotten her covered in ingredients. "I, um...yeah, okay, let's clean up. I'm sorry again, mom." He smiled faintly at the idea of them going out to eat together, and he couldn't deny that he was very hungry.

"Shh..." Celeste said as she hushed him, "It's the thought that counts. I am not angry. Just concerned, you are more important than me getting dirty." she said as she let Shale go and giving him another hug.

"Grab some fresh towels from the cupboard, wipe the floor and walls, and I will wash up the dishes and clean up the counters," Celeste said as she started throwing stuff in a trash can and running hot water in the sink to do the dishes.

"Then we can get dressed, and go out to eat." she said with a smile, "Chop, chop...get moving." she ordered as she threw a towel at Shale.

Shale fumbled to catch the towel and blinked at Celeste, obviously a bit bewildered by her reaction. She wasn't angry? After making such a disaster, too...this was honestly just bizarre to him, and he wasn't really sure how to react. Before, if he had messed up this badly, it would've been much worse.

He hurried to work wiping down the floor, scrubbing quickly and seeming just a bit out of sorts. "I, um...it was really surprising that you didn't even yell at me. If I would've done something like this before, I definitely would've been beaten, at the very least.." He chewed on his lip as he worked, actually making decent progress, all things considered. It was rather clear he was lost in his thoughts of his past life, and they stung as he recalled them.

Celeste stopped cleaning for a second. "I would never do a thing like that... ever, and certainly not for something like this," she stated as she glanced around the kitchen. Yes, it was a huge mess, but Shale had had the best intentions, and besides, he knew he did wrong. Celeste couldn't and wouldn't punish him for trying to be a good son who wanted to do something nice for her.

"I love you, okay. And I will never beat you, ever.... Let's just clean up this mess and get something to eat, okay?" she said as she went over and gave him a reassuring hug. "Now, take that towel and let's get cleaning."
