Maurice was happy to hand the job of untying his stupid shoe over to Jimmy because he had the more important job of STARING AT HIS HANDS IN HORROR as one of his fingers started to shrivel away into nothingness and two of them started to point themselves backwards.
The feathers were sprouting in earnest now and soon fitting themselves into nice layers all down his arms. Green and small dashes of brown. Through the pain, for a split second when he saw the feathers, a sudden jolt of excitement ripped through him. Feathers meant wings.
"Ah! There you--" The boot fell away to reveal a second identical set of tallons. "Thank you so much! Aahhh shit!" His other hand twisted and turned in on itself and then, slowly, the spasms of pain slowed, the seconds between each one slowing. Maurice panted and tried to brush the tears away from his eyes with what used to be his wrist. "Ugh...ugh...is. Is that it?"
