This idea was humoring me, though, so I gave it a try.

Sweet Relief

Fang stood uncomfortably at the mouth of the cave while the others started a fire.

It itched so badly. Finally, he awkwardly reached his hand around to his back and scratched.

Much better. A loose smile formed on his lips from the relief. Yes, much better.

His actions caught Max's attention and she strode over to him, one eyebrow raised in question.

As she approached, Fang pulled his hand back, but didn't like what he saw.

"Max, my feathers…" he said, confusedly looking at his handful of dark feathers.

She stared and scrunched her nose slightly. "I think… you're moulting."

Drabbles are frighteningly short, aren't they? And yet, so amusing to write.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Reviews are always loved.
