--> The wings were not thick and leathery at all but an impossibly thin gossamer webbing that would flutter and catch the light.

* ParentalSexualitySquick: Michael is routinely embarrassed by his parents' rather public sexuality.

* UrineTrouble: Moss introduces himself to Rhys by peeing on his boot.
