since janus sheds does remy molt? how do they each deal with their cycles?
Remy's spider legs do molt, though I haven't done any research on molting so I can't really go into detail about that. However, I have done research on shedding for snakes! It's been a while, so I had to dig out my notes for this.
Don't hold me to any of this, it's just preliminary ideas that may change by the time they make it into the story.
Janus sheds four to six times a year with roughly two to three months between each shed. The process lasts seven to ten days. It makes him anxious, cranky, and dials his survival instincts up to an eleven. He also goes blind in his snake eye and becomes a picky eater.
The time frame (if I don't change it) means that he had his shed at least once while a prisoner which was a horrible experience. His sheds are usually already miserable, imagine having to do it while chained up and surrounded by monster hunters. Worse, what if they used his shed as part of his torture? He's lucky fae have enhanced healing on top of healing magic or else permanent damage could have been done.
He usually stays in his room with the humidity cranked up high and only trusts his family to get near him. Long baths help with the itchiness.
I'm thinking of adding one of his sheds to the story as a sic fic sort of thing but, again, don't hold me to that.
