Grian and Scar had a tradition of bi-monthly movie nights since late season six; now they were partners they liked to jokingly call them date nights.
After dealing with the end crystal eye, they both gravitated towards that quiet corner of Grian's cave where they liked to have those quiet, comfortable evenings. Scar noticed that Grian's bat features seemed to be melding back into his body as they both stumbled over- that happened sometimes when he finally relaxed after massively overwhelming periods- he had explained it once, keeping a form is an easy and subconscious process but once the brain winds down from a panic it may no longer be able to hold a form.
Scar had a feeling that his partner would be in a much more relaxed form after all of what he had been through in the past few days. Once they were both comfortable in the bed so they could see the film that Scar picked out from their joint comfort movie list. Scar could feel Grian wriggling around next to him as he shifted into a less tiring form. When Scar looked over after the shifting stopped he wasn't overly surprised to see a large scarlet macaw where Grian was.
Grian quickly made his presence known when moments later he pressed his newly feathery body against the side of Scar's neck, curling up and making himself comfortable there to watch the movie. It was one they had both watched hundreds of times and now knew off by heart but it still brought no end of comfort to the pair as they wound down- both falling asleep less than halfway through.
