Ritchie: "Sometimes we do. With my molt, it would have happened either way. Being around people I trust speeds the start if it up. I wasn't supposed to have one till next week."
Michael: "Austin you better get the coldest water spell ready." "What are you doing?"
Michael process to gently run his hand through Ritchie's left wing. Ritchie shivered, then completely melted. He ended up laying on the stomach, letting out some chirps(purring? bird noises) of content. Austin soon follows suit, coping Michael's motions on the right wing. Ritchie completely relaxed fighting to keep his eyes open and to stay awake.
