[Bike-riding aside, Castiel usually only posts to the network when he has something important to say. He's about to break pattern, because while there are various things to address--like people exploding--none of that is currently as pressing as the situation he's found himself in.
Castiel had been napping at the kitchen table, minding his own business, until he'd been suddenly awoken by being generally uncomfortable. It had taken a moment to figure out why, but it's very obvious as he turns on the bracelet, looking not at all amused.
Massive black wings are partially visible in frame, folded against his back; the wrist joint is arcing almost a foot over his head, and though it's impossible to see at the angle, the tips of his primary feathers are just above the floor. His wingspan is probably a good fourteen feet.]
This is not amusing.
[He is so incredibly displeased. How had this even happened? He still looks just as annoyed, but slightly more uncertain as he asks his next question.]
Has anything like this happened to anyone else?

Not really to me, but...you don't have real wings usually?
[video]
I do have them, but they don't exist on the physical plane. They are not like this.
[video]
[A slight tilt of the head.]
...Do you need help with learning how to use them, then? Them being physical must be quite the new experience. We angels back home have physical wings. so I can say, I'm quite used to how they work.
[video]
Yes. If you have insight, it would be appreciated.
[They're awkward and heavy and he's still figuring out how to control the basics of them.]
[video--->action]
I will be right over, then! You need me there so I can show you in person how to work them. Explaining over this would be a little difficult to do.
See you soon!
[Annnnd in no time at all there's a knock at your door. Your wing instructor is here, Castiel. 8I]
[action]
Hello Cheriour.
[His wings rustle slightly, subconsciously, feathers puffing up just a little in greeting.]
[action]
[He does pause at seeing the wings, though, and...ugh, there's the urge to mimic the movement of the wings, but considering he has no wings to do such a thing at the moment, there's only an uncomfortable twinge in his back, like a phantom limb ]
[But he puts that aside and nods, moving around and taking a good look at them without moving too close.]
Hmmm...alright, these don't look like they can be folded into your body, considering they look exactly like bird wings and are therefore extraneous. But still, it'd be good to show you how to hold them so they aren't too uncomfortable when you go around.
[action]
They are cumbersome no matter how I hold them.
[They're heavy, and he's beginning to wonder if the bones in them are hollow or solid.]
[action]
You...don't mind if I try to adjust them slightly so that you'll feel more comfortable? I'll be gentle, I promise- we angels do take care of our wings, I'd hate to hurt yours.
[action]
[Of all people he's sure Cheriour will be careful, and unlikely to inadvertently do anything any damage. He tries to relax them a little bit so that Cheriour will be able to move them instead of them being immobile from tension.]
[action]
Just tell me if you feel uncomfortable or comfortable, alright?
[action]
[It's weird, like letting someone move his arms around, only he's not in complete control of them and they're brand new. But Cheriour isn't hurting him so he allows it, looking over his shoulder at what the other angel is doing, carefully moving his wings along with Cheriour's motions.]
