As they got back to the house, Maven spoke up. “This may be presumptuous of me, but would you mind if I used your shower before we head back? I have not had a proper wash in a while. I know we have washed in the hoverer and camp, but…it is just not the same as washing in an established place.”

“Go ahead.” Ellie said. “It’s probably not anywhere near as fancy as you’re used to, though. Even the temporary showers at the headquarters were perhaps on par. Sure the floor wasn’t as nice, but they were certainly much roomier.”

“That will be fine.” Maven said. “I will admit I am also somewhat curious as to what showers on Mael are like, as you cannot just generate the water on demand like you do elsewhere.”

“It’s pretty much the same.” Tess said. “Just that the water has to be piped in. Unfortunately, that also means that if you take too long, all the hot water will run out, though, but it should still last you a good twenty or thirty minutes.”

“I do not intend to take that long,” Maven said, “so it should not be a problem.”

“Just turn the knob on the wall of the shower, the more it points to the red side, the hotter it is, and the more it points to the blue, the colder.” Ellie instructed. “Pull it out when you think it’s at a good spot. You may want to pre-emptively pull it out while you undress so it has some time to warm up, it takes a bit.”

“Pull it out?” Maven asked. “Like a drawer?”

“Sort of.” Ellie said. “Just pull the knob, it should slide out pretty easily, and the water will come on. You don’t need to pull hard or anything, and once it feels like you’re hitting resistance you can stop.”

“I see. Where may I find your towels?”

“Should be one hanging in the bathroom. If not, let us know and we’ll get one for you.” Ellie said. “The bathroom is through the door right next to the door we used to get here. Take your time, we’ll be out in the living room, playing games or something.”

Maven nodded. “I will take my leave, then.” She said, stepping out of the car and hurrying into the house. Tess and Ellie followed at a more relaxed pace, taking their time as they walked inside and made their way down the hall to the living room.

“So…games?” Tess prompted. “What do we have time for? Tetris or something?”

“Tetris sounds good.” Ellie agreed, the noise of the shower turning on audible as she spoke. “You can’t really go wrong with that.”

And, as they were setting up the game, they were interrupted by a sudden, girlish yelp from the bathroom.

Tess: Is everything okay in there?

Maven: My apologies. I twisted the knob a small amount and the result was much more drastic than I expected.

Ellie: Yeah, showers here will do that. Each shower is different, and you have to get a feel for every one. It’s a huge pain, but you get used to it.

Maven: I do not think I wish to get used to it. This is much more inconvenient than normal showers.

Tess: Well, we had to make do without magic somehow. If you need to make any adjustments to the temperature while you’re already in the shower, I’d suggest getting out of the stream of the water as much as possible and feeling the temperature out with your hand.

Maven: I understand. How would you go about taking care of wings or a tail in here?

Tess: I can’t say I’ve tried, when I’m here I’m always…almost always without those Attributes activated. As you might guess, these showers are not made for nonhuman people. You might just have to not wash those bits for now.

Maven: A shame, but I believe you are correct.

Ellie: Actually, come to think of it, the shower in Grandpa’s room is unusually big. Do you think…

Tess: Actually, you’re right. I didn’t even think about it because I never use it, but it is super big for seemingly no reason. Give me a sec to check it out, I think it might fit your wings

Maven: I would appreciate that. Would he mind if I used it?

Ellie: No. He even has some shampoo and body wash in there specifically for guests, though it’s…not from a brand from here. I had always assumed he had it ordered online or from his job, but…
