[Vanitas goes with the subtle shifts, scratching at each patch to loosen up the other's scales and help him shed them. At this rate it may not even take the other days for him to be free from them--they might all fall out by the next morning.
But with the shedding of his adolescent scales, it's like something is triggered in the bigger dragon and he starts to feel more playful. His scratching is joined by soft shorting, in which his head dips down and nudges at the other's side and wings, nostrils flaring a bit as he chuffs and fusses over his scales. His own, long tail starts to thump back and forth as he works on efficiently ridding him of the itching things.]
