His face is as slime coated as the rest of him, but it really just looks like a thin layer of sweat unless examined closely. His ears twitch and he leans back, as Ginko frowns and examines him, uncomfortable with that level of scrutiny. He has an idea of what's happening, but he doesn't want to say, which is the other reason Ginko's probing makes him wary. He's only now recalling this is the reason he hadn't been in a real relationship in years. True emotional honesty is tough, but it's also absolutely necessary in order for any kind of romantic relationship to work. He looks away before speaking up again.

"Sorry. I've been having a weird day... I think my body might be changing soon. But it's probably not anything to be worrying about."

He sort of shrugs, before reaching up to put a hand on the back of his neck, his wings fluttering slightly. Ginko was probably their when he got them, though he might not have seen him actually cocoon onto the dining hall wall before the Ringmaster moved him to her egg tent.
