(Yes I'm giving ammo for jokes at Rins expense. I would say this take place for some of the few days that Za'era is in the inn. So a year before the campaign.)
Rin comes down the stairs one early morn at the inn, not wearing anything as usual. However something is very different about him today. He has small patches of normally feathered skin exposed, and as he walks feathers drift down from his body. It's a sight to behold as no one beyond Tika and Otik have actually seen this happen. For those who have not seen it Rin seems oblivious to the fact that he is going bald.
Yawning Rin stretches out feathers dropping off his body. "Good morning everyone. I trust you are all well?"
Taking a seat at the bar Rin orders his usual breakfast mead and fish. Taking the meal Rin moves to a table in the back facing away from the party as he eats.

Strangely, Adam begins to collect the feathers. As many as he can find. He keeps them in a worn burlap sack at his side as he collects them. (Yes I'm giving ammo for jokes at Rins expense.

Rin looks back at Adam. "So what are you doing Adam?" Spinning the chair around Rin faces everyone else.
"Making a pillow?"
Most of the feathers across the front of Rin have fallen off and now lie in a big pile on the floor. He brushes his chest and pushes more on the floor.
"Or maybe a cloak?"

" WHAT in the name of the GODS .. whoever the true gods are nowadays" Tika exclaims her eyes wide... " WHAT happened to you?"
Otik's eyes bulge in alarm, no doubt partly at the thought that his cheif money-maker for the Inn of the Last Home has fallen ill .. " TIKA ! GET THE HEALER ! " Otik bellows and rests a hand on Rin's shoulder.. " You'll be fine Rin ! I'll buy every poltice and herbal remedy she's got ! " ...

Rin blinks stand up and places his hand on Otiks shoulder. "What are you talking about? I'm fine, not sick at all."
All but the feathers on top of Rin's head and his tail feathers have now fallen off. "I swear I am not sick, this is natural for kenku."
Sitting back down he looks up at Otik. "Besides I've done this once before while I've worked here."

Za'era looks at Rin a bit puzzled but will believe him. He knows better about his own kin than her.
"Are there feathers coming back or.. are you going to walk around naked now?" she asks wondering a bit.
"If they wont come back then we should get you something to wear in the public at least?"

Rin chuckles. "Technically I am always walking around naked, but yes they will be back in a few weeks. The nice part is this only happens once every two years. This happens to be the eightieth time aswell."
Rin flips the chair around and straddles it resting his arms and head on the back of it. "Until then I just look like a plucked chicken."
It is quite obvious Rin is trying to make the whole situation uncomfortable for everyone there. "Oh well I guess I'll just have to wear my cloak like a skirt."

The drow giggles at the "plugged chicken" comment and does not feel uncomfortable at all. She already saw MUCH uglier things than naked chickens.
"There will be no one coming around trying to buy you to get nice chicken soup will there?!" she grins impishly on that thought herself.

Rin raises a claw and says in Otik's voice. "'No that is not a chicken nor will it be soup, It is our new source of entertainment. So unless you want your soup to recite dirty limericks while you eat I would suggest not eating that bird."'
Chuckling Rin looks over to Za'era. "It's been tried a couple of times, and that was when I had my feathers. It get worse when I'm like this."

"Your new source of entertainment?" she wonders.
"You mean this inn is going to become a brothel where everyone has to walk around naked?!" Za'era gasps and shakes her head in disgust.

Rin blinks a couple of times and then starts to laugh. "No no, I don't think thats the case unless Otik has been hiding some secret plans from me. By new source of entertainment I meant the fact that I am the preformer here. I do jokes and sing."
Rin wipes away a year from his eye. "Besides if that did happen I know a few women who would slap Otik around."

" I don't recall you ever losing feathers like this before " Otik stammers ... " What.. women slap me around? What I'd do ? " Otik is familiar with Rin's ability to mimic any voice he hears... it's part of what makes his comedy act at the Inn so successful.
Tika , in a practiced gesture that shows she's done it a million times, whacks Rin over the head with the platter she carries drinks on.. " BAD bird ! Scaring us for no good reason"... with a disdainful sniff she goes back to her duties...

Za'era giggles at Tikas reaction.
"Yes.. He is a bad bad birdie isn't he?!" She grins once again while she picks up one of the feathers and plays with it.
