[Save perhaps Sync's recent arrival, Ion hasn't been as stressed as he has been these past few months. The lack of experiments has made for a nice change of pace, though he's been refraining from saying as much. Just in case the Malnosso suddenly feel like putting an end to this little break... but it's that lack of stress that makes this new condition of his all the more mysterious. Losing a few feathers when he was sick wasn't entirely uncommon for him, and he had been feeling rather under the weather these past few days, but... well.]

Perhaps this is a bit of an odd question, but has anyone ever had their wings suddenly [...] change? Aside from just the color.

[Glancing over his shoulder. He has his wings folded behind his back so they don't appear in the journal-window. Usually they weren't out at all... which is mostly why he's only now noticing the change.]

Though I guess the color would apply as well, in this case...

[What, they don't really teach about filial puberty in school! At least, if they did, it was probably one of those days Ion when was out sick. Which is a lot. Though someone Ion's age probably should have already lost most of the fluffy feathers on his wings...... he's a late bloomer, okay.]

[Oh, it's over.]

[It might take a few moments for Ion to find his voice... or even remember he has one. He is... somewhat mortified right now.]

Th... thank you, Dist, that was very... i-informative.

[And Dist seems totally undisturbed by this. Ion did ask, and everything he said would be something the boy would learn of eventually anyway! If not from him, then from someone who didn't know a ruddy thing about what they were talking about. Looking pleased with himself for his so-called "good deed", and getting to talk for so long without interruption, Dist straightens.]

But of course, Fon Master Ion! Thank you for taking the time you listen. Now you see that there is nothing at all to worry about with the development of your wings. So, if we're finished, I'll be taking my leave. You seem to be in excellent health otherwise. If you've any other concerns or questions, I'd be glad to assist.

N-No, I think you've answered any questions I could have asked.

[And any questions he would have never thought to ask. Maybe someday he'll look back on this and feel nothing but gratitude... but for now, there's gratitude mixed with a whole lot of awkward and embarrassment.]



[And the moment Dist leaves the room, Ion will just bury himself in his blankets and stare blankly at a wall for the rest of the evening.]

[The horror...]
