For a moment, Jean-Pierre could only stare at Scott as he processed the younger man’s reaction. He had been expecting a more negative response. Maybe some screaming, or at the very least a “what the hell are those”. They were the reactions he had gotten the few times anyone else had discovered his wings. To have the Scout sound... excited, as if Spy had shown him a cool trick, instead of accidentally exposing an inhuman mutation, was confusing.
He looked down at the feather in Scott’s hand, and yes, it was indeed one of his own feathers. It was no surprise it had drawn Scott’s attention, being much bigger and better cared for than any bird feather he was likely to find in the wild.
“Je perds des plumes?” He said, still in enough shock from his teammate’s unexpected reaction that he didn’t realize that he had reverted to his native French. “Je me demande ce qui a pu causer ça?”
He realized that he wasn’t paying proper attention to the situation, something would normally get him killed, and he quickly snapped his attention back to Scott. “Yes, that is one of mine.” He confirmed. “Now you know why I always wear my suit, even when it is ‘freakin’ hot’. I would appreciate it if you kept it to yourself, though. If I wanted everyone to know about my wings, I would not keep them covered all the time. You may keep the feather if you wish, but don’t tell anyone where you got it, d’accord?”
