He does jerk an instinctive step back -- too late -- and processes the warm and wet sensation splashing now against one of the two pairs of boots he owns. "Alright," he says, out loud and not necessarily to Matthias so much as the universe. The hand that had been resting on Matthias' shoulder -- and leapt up at a hover -- comes down to pat the young man's back, and then sort of scruff the back of his shirt to ensure steadiness, and the ability to pull him along.
"Come on, we're getting cleaned up," he says. "If you're quite done."
