Things lin'k forgot to mention about being part dragon because they're so normal to him:
Occasionally, sneezes will be accompanied by bits of ones breath weapon. For lin'k, this is mostly puffs of frost.
Draconic wings are INCREDIBLY sensitive. At least the kind of sensitivity depends entirely on context.
Scales shed, in ones and twos, pretty much daily
Life had changed for all of them, of course. The larger things were clearly the easier ones to point to and remember, and in many ways somehow they were also the easier ones to adjust to.
The less obvious things... took some trials. Setting a bedroom lamp and two blankets on fire in three separate instances of sneezing, for instance. They weren't big fires, they were put out quickly, but the first time was sobering. The other two were fundamental failures in trying to figure out solutions, but he'd ultimately gotten it down. Eventually.
Wings-- Sometimes, the less said about wings, the better. Absolute control over them was a long learning process, but important. Essential. And sometimes even one wing accidentally brushing up against someone else's resulted in two distinctly different sounds and reactions. It was only comical from a distance and without direct involvement. (Not that anyone wanted to admit to as much.)
The scales were extremely worrying those first few days. Nothing was noticed, initially, then something slightly shiny was discovered and picked up from the floor and-- "Panic" was a bit of a strong word. Not wrong, potentially, but strong. A human did shed a variety of things over the course of a day, hair and skin cells being understood most readily.
Those things were not as obvious and large as scales, leading to thoughts of wondering if something had gone really and truly wrong and was reversing itself or worse, until--
Two additional things that he had learned: 1.) stress most certainly increased the number of scales that shed at once, and 2.) Lin'k's reaction to Sephiroth holding up a small collection of scales in a jar while asking the question, "Am I dying?" resulted in one of those most complicated combinations of expressions and sounds he'd ever encountered.
