Wings are only part of being an angel but it isn't everything, it isn't what makes our being. To have solely wings would be wrong, it would feel wrong.
And whilst they're not everything about me they are a physical symbol of what I gave up. Something I carry with me.
( in her scars. she may have kept her wings at home in memory of her former life but that was a symbol not a wish. just as her scars remained that )
[Well, that's... unfortunate. Jon runs a hand down his face.]
I'm sorry. You can throw them out, then. The left one will let you fly around without the semblance of wings if you want that for convenience, but I'll get you something else.

I didn't tell you everything about it, not why it was important. But it's not solely about wings.

I hope the other gifts you've received make up for the trouble with these so far.
[And now he needs to go shopping for a new gift ASAP.]
