[Yes, he's very glad for that closing hatch. Even if most people on the ship knew that he had wings...he still wasn't comfortable with sharing them.]

[But the subject change at least, is a suitable distraction]

You..didn't? I thought you've had yours for awhile. [Surely he would've preened them at some point right.....]

[idealistic]

I only brought 'em out for the first couple of months. When I showed them to you, it was the first time I took them out in a while.

[ which means his wings are probably a mess of loose feathers right now. ]

[wilder]

Uh-

[Oh dear goddess]

Lloyd- you know you're supposed regularly preen them, right? To keep the feathers nice?

[idealistic]

...Uh.

[ no he didn't. ]

[wilder]

[....]

Do you know how to preen?

[idealistic]

Eh heh heh heh heh...

[ that's another "no" ]

[wilder]

[His wings ruffle up and his pinches the bridge of his nose, in a display that is clearly exasperation]

Oh, great.

[idealistic]

Oh, come on! Colette never told me that was supposed to be something I had to do!

[ he's never even SEEN her preen her wings, for crying out loud! ]

[wilder]

Thaaaat might be because she had a lot of faith that you'd figure out it was something you need to do on your own. You know, like most of us do.

[idealistic]

I...

[ well, he got him there. ] I just thought all those feathers coming out were normal...

[wilder]

Not...quite.

I mean they shed a lot, but- preening helps cut down on that.
