...if you don't loosen your wing, this will really hurt.

"If you don't loosen your wing, this will really hurt," she warned him. She sighed as a low growl sounded from the peacock's clenched beak, but he obeyed. Gently, she dabbed the medicine on.

What resulted next was an explosion of fire that tore and licked its way up his wing, quickly reaching a degree that words could not begin to describe.

"OwwWWWW!!!!" He flapped the injured wing frantically, trying to get a cool breeze of relief to extinguish the merciless flame biting deeper into the wound as the medicine did its work.

Kurisu pursed her lips, biting back an amused chuckle. "I told you." She was nearly smacked in the face with his rapidly shaking wing.

Oh, that medicine! Shen absolutely hated that medicine! He could recall quite clearly in his youth: dashing frantically under tables and beds while the soothsayer chased him with a gentle scolding voice, stopping his dash to freedom at the usual spot: the fireplace mantel, where he sometimes climbed to escape the typical things children feared: medicine; baths; bedtime, and vegetables. He remembered squirming and crying loudly in her arms as she firmly held his injured limb and dabbed it with medicine, while wiping his tears and smoothing his feathers.

I have come across an amazing story lately by about Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2 called "Redeeming Light." The illustration and corresponding scene are from it. I highly recommend it.

Shen didn't like the disinfectant medicine when he was a peachick, and he still doesn't now. I don't blame him. I never liked the stuff: my mom had a bottle of what looked like lemon juice and just one drop would make a cut sting worse than when I hurt myself in the first place. Later we discovered that squirting it on the band aid instead of the cut made it hurt less.

This is my first time drawing Shen, or fanart to someone else's fanfic, but I was very inspired, and I've found that it's actually a lot of fun. Everyone says that his tail feathers are killer to draw, but I didn't have too much trouble with them. (Granted, I went for tail feather insinuation instead of really accurate plumes.) What I had a terrible time with was the bottom of his robe. Trying to make it pushed up by his feathers and lying against them had me pulling out my hair. I'm still not completely satisfied with it.

Edit: I realized Shen's thumb was on the wrong side. It's fixed now.
