crazily: (this is an alarmingly smooth gif)

[ Which is to say, Break is actually having a fairly relaxing shower, though he is still getting some of the pink glitter off of him (it's literally never going away). He actually tends to take fairly long showers, since he finds them relaxing, but not today. As soon as there's a clatter of the shelf very suddenly falling so far as he's concerned, it's enough for Break to actually yell in surprise, which is rare enough, but he's also naked in two senses here. One, there's the literal, which is alarming to everyone else, but in what's alarming to him, he doesn't bring his cane with him into the bathroom. He's unarmed, which has him reacting a little more violently to the surprise than normal.

So, you can essentially predict what happens next.

Break isn't a very physical fighter, so when he swings out with his fist in his surprise, it also catches him off balance. He throws too much of his momentum into the punch in his alarm, and just like that, he starts to fall. He grabs out in pure instinct to grab the shower curtain, and there's more chaos as the rings pops with the weight of being pulled down, and then the shower curtain's rod pops out of the wall with it. This is all something to be processed momentarily, because Break is definitely falling out of the shower at this rate. He spills out of the tub and onto the tile floor, but at least grabbing the shower curtain prevents it from being too nasty of a fall.

But still, with his broken tailbone, it doesn't feel that great, either. He lets out a sharper cry once he hits the ground, since half landing on his side still gets his bones to protest. That, and he just fell out of the shower, so that wouldn't feel good normally. He'll get to yelling up a storm in a moment, but for now, he needs to recover from the immediate jolt of surprise and pain. ]
