Don’t think about recently ascended Grian still not being used to his wings. Don’t think about Grian forgetting to shake the loose feathers out of his wings, or ignoring the feeling of them getting stuck together. Don’t think about his mum finding out, sitting him down, and preening his wings like a bird. Don’t think about him melting into the warm touch, loving the feeling of being cared for. Don’t think about it.
too late ! i'm gonna think abt it !!
It does take Grian awhile to get used to his new wings, plus the recovery of them ripping out his back.
Sometimes he flutters them for no reason, just bc its a new sensation, a new limb, its a weird thing ! He has to do daily wing exercises/stretches to get used to controlling them. They twitch in his sleep sometimes.
She does preen his wings and shows him how to do it, much like a mother shows Her kid how to brush their teeth or hair, everyones gotta learn somewhere.
She sticks the old fallen feathers in his hair

Sometimes Grian does lean into the affection, most of the time he'll be upset abt being treated like a kid, but sometimes its nice to be praised for your efforts or just taken care of, like having someone brush your hair. He's like a feral cat that only occasionally accepts pets haha
