infestedadmiralHe has felt it coming on for the last few weeks.
The tightness in the limbs on his left side....the random bouts of itching and an inability to get comfortable.
Stukov knows the signs now...an incoming molt is on its way. He hopes it will hold off until Reinhardt has those Christmas Market shifts he keeps talking about. It is highly unlikely as those are almost a month away...but a Terran can dream, even an infested one. There is a deep feeling of dread in his heart. He is disgusting when he molts-a tangle of peeling reptilian skin, oozing slime and split carapaces. If he is lucky, it will all be over in a little less than a week.
He hasn't told Reinhardt about it...and he feels a bit like a heel that he hasn't. There has been no reason to, really as it has not effected them yet and hopefully he could conceal it if he needed to. It only happened twice a year...that wasn't terribly intrusive, all things considered.
Still....still it was not something he looked forward to.
The itching and tightness are becoming more obvious and one day, on one of the days Reinhardt is scheduled to take leave and spend the next week with him...he starts peeling.
Well...well <I>CHERT</I>.
