Rae maintains a dubious scowl until the wings appear, and then - she can't help it - she giggles, more because he's so embarrassed than because the wings themselves are funny. She shouldn't laugh at just the wings, even if they are small and dumb-looking. Being a partblood's no joke.

But hey, he's the one who showed her his little stubby baby wings. It's not like it's a secret. "What kind of demon has wings like that?" she asks, more curious than mocking.
